The king of Northern Ireland podcasts is with us this week to talk about ... anything! We cover a lot of ground in this episode, from Carl Jung and the Hero's journey, to the Alchemist all the way to shoes for a goose and Scrubs! The journey of this hero is fascinating, starting off on his path, a hater of all things Northern Ireland, but after his intrepid journey, slaying dragons (and getting burned by some .. his words, not ours!) he ended up, back in the land of Saints and Scholars! From there, the love story grew until he became the unofficial (official in our eyes) voice of all things good about Our Wee Country! Now thats enough talk, have a listen to the man himself!
