Esther presented and produced Saturday Lunch on TXFM from 2014-2016 which was always top of the station’s JNLRs. When TXFM closed, Esther started the The 80% podcast (past guests included Amy Huberman, Ian Dempsey, Sophie White and Aisling Bea).  It is now in retirement but was always a ratings winner and lots of fun to make.
