"Erin go Brách" - Interview with Irish author Seán Óg Ó Murchú about his upcoming book

"The Wind Beneath the Stone" - Interview with David Keohan, Author and Irish Stone Lifting Revivalist

David Keohan's recently published book "The Wind Beneath the Stone" explores his passionate search for more information and understanding around more than a handful of nearly lost Irish traditions, folklore, and cathartic cultural rites of passage that he seeks to share as broadly as he possibly can. I DM'ed David on Instagram in the early morning (EST) and he said "I'm free for next 2 hrs if you are", so I very quickly made some coffee and got to the microphone to catch up with David over zoom for a completely unscripted chat about Life, the Human Experience, Connection to land and self, Internalized Capitalism, Fíordraíocht, Béaloideas, and more than a little Gaeilge here and there.   David's work has been not only to chart the stones of the past, but also drawing new maps of where this cathartic, grounding, and uplifting practice is going via an international network or sport and healing through this reemerging cultural medicine.

Conversations with the Diaspora - Sasha Piton

As the first episode of a series of conversations with members of the Irish diaspora living within Ireland and abroad, we have some coffee with Sasha Piton! You may know Sasha from her article in The Journal.ie [https://www.thejournal.ie/author/sasha-piton/9263/] discussing her experiences transitioning from the US to Ireland in the current political moment, or as one of her more than 135,000 followers on Instagram. In this conversation over the span of about 3 cups of coffee, we chat about Identity, Immigration, Personal Sovereignty, Trump, the 1926 Irish Census, Firearms, American Extremism, Gaeilge, Confronting Upsetting American History, The Dark History of the Oregon Trail, Diaspora struggles, and more than one cat attack!  holy smokes we got rolling! So grab a cup and settle in for a fantastic unscripted convo (in the early morning) between two recently acquainted Gaels navigating this Big Irish World.  NOTES: * The chorus I sing is from Emma Langford's "BirdSong".  Available now on Apple Music and Spotify. * Annie Ramos, 22, the newlywed wife of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank, was released on April 7, 2026, after being detained by ICE [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98kn1k3nreo] for five days at Fort Polk, Louisiana, while trying to register for military benefits.

Episode - 0002 - 'Neither Blood nor Soil', Part 1: Un-required Invitations, Unacceptable Golden Tickets, and What an Unrevoked Passport Can Never Be a Proxy For.

Well, a chairde.  I had recorded and rerecorded and scraped and re-scraped this episode and ultimately I decided to just... speak... one sitting over the span of about an hour that was lightly edited down for time. It's a sensitive topic, but an important one that has become an elephant in the room through campaigns of silence.  But We can do this, Together.  This episode will hit home for many, so I'd hope that everyone understands that I hold no real power, and that I genuinely do want to hear from you.  We're listening! EDIT:  The "Slán Agaibh" at the end is what happens when your brain juggles GRMAgaibh and Slán libh and you've told yourself that once you've begun editing that you aren't allowed to do any more takes or re-shooting. So I committed when I subtitled the final chapter.  lol/goa  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2548323/fan_mail/new] Thanks for Listening!
