John Slattery was born and reared in Dublin, Ireland, and educated at Trinity College Dublin where he graduated in Electronic Engineering and Mathematics. After a Masters degree in Computer Science earned through research for a pan-European project, he spent many years working for large engineering companies in Germany, Austria, the United States, and Ireland, before finally settling some 10 years ago in the tranquil hills of the Gascony region for a quieter life and to rear his family. Possessing a genuine gift of the Irish charm with an inate need to converse, and not finding quite enough audience in the local french cafés, John decided to launch himself on the air waves with his wonderful co-host, Patricia McKinnes. "Being part of this duo team producing and presenting The Flattery Show has been an adventure and a barrel of laughs", says John, "it's quite a thrill to be the first to broadcast a regularly aired all-english-language chat show into France, and the feedback from both expatriates and the French has been incredible."
