What The Feck is Going On?
A new weekly podcast series from Classic Hits 4FM radio producer Mike Hogan, an old friend of the ‘sheet.
What The Feck… aims to “explore and simplify both serious and quirky topics”.
Mike writes:
The first episode explores the reason behind the doughnut boom in Ireland and I ask if we have reached peak doughnut.
I spoke to Hilary Quinn, who owns the Dublin Doughnut Company, Julie Baker from the Rolling Donut and Michael Krondl, author of The Donut: History, Recipes, and Lore from Boston to Berlin.

I just spent a few minutes researching donut v doughnut.
Please use doughnut, as apparently you’re promoting Dunkin’ Donuts otherwise.
Now I’ve used the word too often and it’s lost all meaning.
During your research, did you find where the ‘nut’ part of the name originates?
Mike should read Broadsheet. The doughnut mania was discussed here weeks ago.
That’s all it is, a craze, like the other short-lived trends that were mentioned here.
The key is to know the next fad, not wonder about the last one.
