(Kogan.)
Journalist. Interviewer. Listener. Cork → Paris → London.
I've always been chasing the same question: who actually holds power, and what would it take to shift it.
I'm a 24-year-old journalist based in London, born in Cork and raised in Paris. I'm fundamentally interested in people and the stories they have to tell — leading with good-faith and an open mind.
It started at 21 with one of the last interviews with Noam Chomsky — a man I'd looked up to since my late teens. It generated over 100,000 views, and the gratification of making it awoke something I've been chasing ever since.
Three years on, I conduct long-form political interviews with the likes of Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Zack Polanski, Diane Abbott and Eddie Dempsey, with clips that have gathered millions of views. I write for Tribune, The Irish Times and Land & Climate Review. My first-person features for The Irish Times have ranked among the site's most read, with one piece named a Top Story of 2025.
In 2026 I won the Orwell Society & NUJ Young Journalist of the Year for a column on protest at Shannon Airport, after being selected as one of 16 fellows (from around 200 applicants) for the 2025/26 Journo Resources Fellowship — which culminated in a long-form print feature on the state of music journalism.
Long-form political interviews and reportage. Westminster, the picket line, and wherever the story is. Bylines in Tribune, The Irish Times, The Guardian (letters), Land & Climate Review.

Through Culture with Kogan, sit-down conversations with artists, musicians and image-makers shaping the moment — filmed and put out uncut. Under the Kogan moniker, I also release my own music.

I'm fundamentally interested in people and the stories they have to tell — leading with good-faith and an open mind. The most interesting answers come from letting people talk.
Currently writing, available for commissions, open to interviews, and always up for a tip-off.
