Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven. Irish actor Richard Harris as you have never heard him before.

Let me clarify the claim in the title of this podcast. If you live in Ireland, you may have heard my 2015 two-part radio documentary, Richard Harris Revisited, based on interviews I did with Harris over the last fifteen years of his life. Or, if you live in Limerick, you may have seen my one-person show of the same name a year later. More recently, in 2022, in fact, you may have seen in a cinema the feature-length film The Ghost of Richard Harris. My tapes voice the 'ghost'. His son, Jared, said,  "Joe's tapes allow my father to tell his story in his own voice." Now, to mark the 20th anniversary of Richard's death, and my association with that film, I have finally written the biography he asked me to write. This podcast is the back story of the book. Richard Harris Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven will be published on November 17th and is available from Amazon etc.
