In this episode, I speak to both my father Pete and my mother Marie about their time living and working on a Kibbutz in Israel. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the story of how my parents travelled to Israel to live on a Kibbutz called Kfar Giladi. On this episode they share their stories about life in the commune, their experiences, and the history behind Kibbutzim.

In this episode I speak to my mother Marie about her experience growing up in the strict Catholic Ireland of the 1950's and 60's.
