Deep In The Game: Not The RTE Guide

Deep In The Game, our series of interviews with people who are famous in ways their mothers probably wouldn't even be able to process, continues with Alan Maguire, owner-operator of a sharp parody Twitter for the venerable RTÉ Guide. Can you explain who you are and what you do to people who might not know? I am Alan Maguire and I created @YourRTEGuide, a fake RTÉ Guide twitter account.
