Using letters to the editor, media articles, recent studies of Irish culture, quotes from Byrne himself, and a re-examination of the original broadcasts, The Gaybo Revolution explores how Byrne and his talk shows, on both radio and television, provided a forum for popular debate and acted as catalysts for change in Irish life. Equally reviled and revered, Byrne has been referred to as `the great window-opener' and a `media lay priest.' But his influence in single-channel Ireland is undeniable. The Gaybo Revolution will appeal to all those who wish to understand the evolution of Irish society and culture in the late twentieth century and the substantial impact of Irish media on this change. ""Explores how Irish society and culture was reflected and sometimes changed by the unprecedented public debates that Byrne's shows facilitated.""--Irish Voice
