Description: This month in the Jen Hatmaker Book Club, Jen is joined by novelist Eliana Ramage to talk about her stunning debut, To the Moon and Back—a book that is as page-turny as it is tender, and as expansive as it is rooted. Jen and Eliana trace the actual arc of this book—how it began with an unforgettable spark of an idea at Dartmouth (about an “astronaut girl” who shows us that our stories aren't static, and neither are our people) and how, over more than a decade, that idea became a novel about ambition, belonging, identity, and the complicated, beautiful gravity of connection. In this conversation, Jen and Eliana explore a story centered on a young woman unraveling in the aftermath of loss, navigating complicated relationships, spiritual longing, and the quiet ache of wanting more than the life she's been handed. They dig into the women at the center of the novel—the ones you'll root for, the ones who will frustrate you (hi, ambition), and the ones who will linger long after you close the cover—and they unpack why the ending matters: not because it ties everything into neat bows, but because it honors what's true. Because in real life, healing doesn't land with fireworks. It lands with honesty. With restraint. With the choice to keep loving, even when certainty has slipped through our fingers. This is a conversation about grieving honestly, questioning inherited beliefs, and staying awake to your own life. It's about learning that connection matters more than performance—and trusting that the long arc of love and healing is still unfolding. Whether you're reading along with the book club or simply craving a thoughtful, soulful conversation to start the new year, this episode invites you to slow down, feel deeply, and remember: even in loss, even in doubt, we are still reaching—toward connection, toward each other, and back to ourselves. Thought-provoking Quotes: “This is a story about women who are trying to understand who they are and move forward together after making some mistakes. That's where I definitely am right now. And if I could just finish this one thing that has been so hard for so many years, then it would be the first time I had done something that I could be really proud of.” – Eliana Ramage “I think in real life, you don't need to know that everything is all gonna be figured out at once. You need to land the plane on what matters. I don't think any of us, for our own lives, feel like we have that written out. And so there's some wiggle room on where we could go next, I think.”– Eliana Ramage “It's become kind of a ritual to ask myself,  can you believe that you're doing this job because your wildest dreams came true?”– Eliana Ramage Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avid Reader Press - https://avidreaderpress.com/ Fancy Lunch - https://tinyurl.com/3uyuxryf Joyride: A Memoir by Susan Orlean - https://amzn.to/49vTrhC The Uncool: A Memoir by Cameron Crowe - https://amzn.to/3LFmd7n Lily King - https://lilykingbooks.com/ Reese Witherspoon book club pick - September 2025 - https://reesesbookclub.com/book/to-the-moon-and-back/ Mid-America All Indian Center, Wichita, KS - https://www.theindianmuseum.org/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/4swRPg9 Parnassus Books - https://parnassusbooks.net/ Ring of Salt: A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland by Betsy Cornwell - https://amzn.to/3Z9qtPu I'll Tell You When I'm Home by Hala Alyan - https://amzn.to/4bof7yr Guest's Links: Website - https://www.elianaramage.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elianaramage/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

France made the perfect start to the defence of their Six Nations title as they toppled Ireland in Paris. Chris is joined by Irish Grand Slam winner Donncha O'Callaghan and Ashy to reflect on a statement victory on the opening night of the tournament and the growing strength of French rugby. What has happened to Ireland's attack? Is the jury still out on whether Sam Prendergast should have the keys to the Ireland number 10 shirt? We also look ahead to Saturday's games as Wales and Scotland name their teams.

On this episode of Cattitude, host Michelle Fern welcomes holistic animal healer Lisa Tully, joining from Ireland to explore a fascinating idea: how cats may mirror the emotional, mental, and physical states of the humans they live with. Drawing on animal communication, Chinese medicine, and botanical healing, Lisa explains how imbalances in our own lives can quietly show up in our cats—sometimes emotionally, sometimes physically. The conversation dives into anxiety, stress, chronic illness, feline intuition, and the powerful ways cats may guide us toward greater self-awareness and healing. Whether you're deeply curious about holistic care or simply want a deeper connection with your cat, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the profound bond between cats and their people.EPISODE NOTES: Do Cats Mirror Their Humans?

Police say they are searching two properties linked to Lord Mandelson, as they investigate allegations of misconduct in a public office, related to his communication with Jeffrey Epstein. The BBC understands Lord Mandelson doesn't believe he's acted in any way criminally. Also: The serial killer, Steve Wright, has been sentenced to a minimum of 40 years for murdering 17-year-old Victoria Hall in 1999, seven years before he killed five more women. And rugby fans have criticised ITV for showing adverts while last night's Six Nations match between Ireland and France was in play.

We have the latest on whether the Pakistan v India game will go ahead or not, we assess the chances of England after their impressive T20 form in Sri Lanka and we ask whether Ireland or Scotland could spring a surprise and reach the Super 8s.   Every ball of the tournament is live on BBC Sounds with action clips and highlights on the BBC Sport website and app.

To mark the opening day of the tournament, Chris and John Barclay are chatting all of the Six Nations captains. You'll hear from the great Antoine Dupont as France kick things off in Paris. We hear from his opposite number Caelan Doris on Ireland's difficult prep ahead of the opener in Paris. England's vice-captain Jamie George talks about the feel-good factor around England as they look to continue their winning run. Dewi Lake speaks openly about the difficulties facing Wales as they head into the tournament looking to avoid a third successive wooden spoon. Michele Lamaro chats about sailing, the Olympics, and Italy's hopes for 2026. And finally, there is Sione Tuipulotu who is chomping at the bit to captain Scotland for the first time in the Six Nations and banish any painful memories from the autumn.

Send us a textThis episode of "Not Well" is a brutally honest, stream-of-consciousness conversation about navigating gay life in your 30s with all its contradictions and anxieties. The hosts dive deep into the psychological aftermath of major weight loss, discussing how losing 65-70 pounds has paradoxically made one of them feel less attractive in gay spaces—getting way more attention as a bigger bear than as a slimmer guy. They question whether it's the weight, aging, or just a combination of everything that's changed the dynamic when walking into bars.The conversation spirals through modern absurdities: how delusional confidence seems to be the key to success (citing the Hawk Tuah girl making $15 million), generational differences in handling internet fame, and why their generation can't just embrace the chaos like younger people do. They touch on practical frustrations like airplane etiquette—specifically calling out first-class passengers who put backpacks in overhead bins—and the hilarious reality that TSA agents will move weed gummies aside to check electronics.The episode gets vulnerable discussing body dysmorphia, balding, potential thyroid issues, and the complex relationship with hookup culture. One host reveals he actually needs emotional connection before sex and hates the idea of planned "sex dates," despite being perfectly fine with spontaneous bathroom encounters or random basement hookups. It's a fascinating contradiction that speaks to the difference between performative sexuality and genuine desire.Throughout, there's constant self-awareness about their modest podcast success (hundreds of listeners, not thousands), frustration with social media narcissism, and the ongoing struggle to stay motivated during cold weather. The tone is profane, self-deprecating, and refreshingly authentic—two friends processing their lives out loud without filter.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

After the Irish fought for and won their independence from the British in 1921, they had a problem. Centuries of exploitation had left the island one of the least forested nations in Europe, with less than 2% tree cover.  So, they started planting a non-native American tree: fast-growing Sitka spruce capable of rebuilding their timber resources in record time. And it worked. Today, about 17% of the island is forested. But in the rural areas where iconic rolling hills have been replaced by rows and rows of conifers, farmers are not happy.  Outside/In host Nate Hegyi takes us to County Leitrim, an area of Ireland hit hard by the Troubles and the Great Famine, to meet the townspeople who are fighting what they say is a new wave of colonialism: Sitka spruce plantations.

LINKS Donal Magner wrote a book covering the history of Ireland's forests and timber industry.  Sitka spruce plantations are controversial in other parts of Ireland as well, including Cork.  There are also efforts to rewild parts of Ireland with entirely native trees and to protect and restore carbon-sequestering bogs.  It can be really tough to figure out exactly what was growing in Ireland thousands of years ago – but these scientists used ancient pollen counts to figure it out. Researchers at University College Dublin produced a detailed socio-economic impact report on Sitka spruce plantations and County Leitrim in 2019. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Patrick shares a personal story about what it can look like when long-held trauma responses begin to loosen after years of recovery work and how flashbacks can shift into quieter moments of recognition instead of distress.Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, Patrick connects the body-level experience of trauma anniversaries, shame attacks, and emotional flashbacks to the family system that created them, including emotionally immature parenting, addiction, domestic violence, and poor boundaries.Using a trip through Ireland as the backdrop, Patrick reflects on returning to the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula decades after a childhood visit with a narcissistic, alcoholic father and noticing a body memory that arrives without the old shame and fear. He contrasts that earlier experience with traveling alongside his son, describing what it means to feel detached from a parent's legacy and present in your own life.Important Takeaways for the Listener:How trauma anniversaries can show up as subtle body memories, and how they can change after sustained healing workWhy kids often feel like accomplices to adult dysfunction, and how that fuels shame and distorted self-perceptionHow emotionally immature caregivers and chaotic family systems shape attachment, safety, and identityWhat it means to break cycles with or without becoming a parent, and how to separate yourself from a family legacyWhy overwhelm in the current climate can activate old survival states, and how to orient back to the presentHow reflective tools, including a toxic family style assessment he references, can help name what the ACE framework may miss about family dynamicsPatrick also discusses recovery themes like inner child work, repairing distorted perception, reducing shame-based identity, and building a life where you no longer represent your parents' choices.If you carry a sense of inherited shame, feel easily activated by the world, or are noticing your triggers changing as you heal, this episode offers a grounded example of what progress can feel like over time.Keywords: childhood trauma, emotional flashbacks, body memories, shame attacks, trauma anniversaries, emotionally immature parents, narcissistic parent, addiction in families, intergenerational trauma, breaking cycles, inner child work, recoveryJoin the Monthly Healing Community Membership

Are France really clear favourites? And how real is Ireland's decline? Chris, Gareth and Tom are back as this year's Six Nations gets underway on Thursday. Tom argues this is a huge opportunity for Scotland and asks why they shouldn't aspire to be outstanding. Gareth is less optimistic about Wales, though he believes they still have a couple of genuine match-winners. The guys run the rule over all six sides and ask what success looks like for each. And Chris has been left a little frustrated folowing the release of the World Cup schedule this week.

Photo: Members of the MMIW Search & Hope Alliance attend a cadaver session led by Dr. William Borman, in Portland, Oreg. Thursday, January 22, 2026. (Brian Bull / Buffalo's Fire) Search teams working on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) cases must prepare themselves for the likelihood they will come across a body. One group based in Portland, Oreg. is proactively preparing volunteers for that encounter, as Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire reports. Inside an anatomy lab, William Borman, professor of basic sciences for the University of Western States, carefully turns a cadaver over on a metal table. Metal canopies cover human cadavers inside Linfield University's anatomy lab in Portland, Oreg. Thursday, January 22, 2026. (Photo: Brian Bull / Buffalo's Fire) A tinge of formaldehyde fills the air. Seven volunteers with the group, MMIW Search & Hope Alliance, examine its tendons, nerves, and organs. Kimberly Lining is the group's founder. She says she has seen death up close many times. “And I think through my years of traumatic experiences with violent death, I’ve seen a lot, it’s prepared me. I think just due to fire, like steel is forged through fire.” But for most people, exposure to death and corpses is not a recurring thing, so Lining reached out to Borman to arrange a visit. Not only does it gird people for when they find a body, but it helps them discern between human and animal remains. Two volunteers, Sabrina Griffith and Isabella Regalado, say they would recommend this experience. “Just seeing the veins, the actual ligaments, the bone, the muscles, it was quite surprising to see it and feel it in real life. I've only touched bones and stuff like that, so it’s very interesting to actually feel the inner part of our body.” “It’s actually been better than anticipated. I thought it would be a little bit more gruesome, but everyone has been very professional and understanding, and everyone has been doing their best to educate everyone else.” Lining and Borman remind people that viewing cadavers is not the same as coming across a corpse, whether that is in the wilderness or city. Such bodies are not preserved, and beyond what the cause of death inflicted, would be subject to the elements and scavengers. “If it’s in the wilderness, in the forest, bears, cougars, wolves … they’re gonna tear at stuff and leave the bone. So definitely pieces more than together.” Near the end of the visit, Borman sprayed a blue hydrating liquid to keep the cadavers from drying out and developing mold. He said everyone in Lining's group was respectful and asked great questions. “I’m pleased that we were able to make this happen. If she were interested in doing it again, I'd be open to doing it again.” Lining and her volunteers gave small gifts of gratitude to Borman and thanked him for his time. MMIW Search & Hope Alliance is preparing for two search efforts in the next few weeks. Jon Boutcher, Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, is asked about the arrest of Máire Mhic an Fhailí during a Policing Board meeting in September 2025. (Courtesy Policing Board / Facebook). An Irish language activist has won a landmark decision in Northern Ireland following her arrest during a protest. Seo McPolin has more from Ireland. Seventy-four-year-old grandmother Máire Mhic an Fhailí attended a peaceful protest in support of the Palestinian people last August in Belfast. She was among those arrested under the UK’s controversial Terrorism Laws because of her t-shirt. JJ Ó Dochartaigh from the Irish language band Kneecap wore the same T-shirt as Máire Mhic an Fhailí ahead of the band's 2025 Glastonbury set. (Courtesy Kneecap / X) During the arrest, English-speaking police officers were unable to understand her as she gave them her address – because she spoke in her Indigenous language of Irish. The Police Ombudsman ruled last week that the arresting officer should have taken reasonable steps to arrange a translation service – and that Mhic an Fhailí experienced “oppressive behavior”. The police watchdog also issued a policy recommendation for future engagements with Irish-language speakers. Mhic an Fhailí’s lawyer says this decision “puts a marker down” for how the police service must respect the Irish language moving forward. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Last week the Government confirmed it will push ahead with legislation to change how the Defence Forces are deployed overseas, including the removal of the Triple Lock when Irish troops are part of an international force.The Triple Lock makes it necessary for any deployment to be ratified by the Dáil, the Government, and the United Nations. The proposed change removes the need for UN approval. Opposition parties and many independent TDs and senators are opposed to the change. That includes Independent Senator Tom Clonan, who joins Hugh today to explain why. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

On today's show, Tayem shares his story of growing up as a black child in Ireland, his love for his adopted country, why he believes it is important to fight to preserve the culture and customs of the land of saints and scholars, why Irish people must come first and the importance of ending uncontrolled migration. Follow Tayem Mercer here:https://www.facebook.com/tayemd

On this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Malcolm is joined by Rob Carpenter, Frankie Bates, and Diarmaid O Connor for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping freight in 2026. Rob Carpenter dives into trucking's biggest pressure points, including the driver shortage debate, freight fraud, market accountability, and where trucking, brokers, and shippers are headed next. Then, broadcasting from across the pond, Frankie Bates and Diarmaid O Connor of Prodensus break down why so many U.S. multinationals are centralizing freight procurement in Ireland, why RFPs are still painfully inefficient, and how AI is transforming — and challenging — freight decision-making. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Simon's live update on the hunt for Nancy Guthrie, and also on the fallout from the latest release of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, for The Claire Byrne Show on Ireland's Newstalk#guthrie #news #simonmarks #epstein #Trump #crime #uspolitics 

Peter Stumpp was arrested accused of being an "insatiable bloodsucker” - which, in 1589, meant he was being accused of being a werewolf. Even stranger… Peter readily admitted to being one.IN THIS EPISODE: For years the doctors couldn't figure out why Wally was coughing so much, why his skin cracked and bled, turning the bedsheets red. They prescribed ointments, antibiotics, decongestants, pain killers. His guts ached for years, too, and even morphine didn't help the pain. He died a wraith, 73 years old. The government says it has no idea what happened to him, but then that's because he worked in Area 51. (Area 51 Killed My Husband) *** Two accounts of Bigfoot are reported from Illinois. But these aren't your typical sightings. They take place in the middle of the night, possibly inside a dream. In fact, they aren't described as Bigfoot – but as a wookie, like Chewbacca from Star Wars. But then, how do you explain the accounts being exactly the same from two complete strangers? (Wookies In Illinois) *** Peter Stumpp was arrested accused of being an "insatiable bloodsucker” - which, in 1589, meant he was being accused of being a werewolf. Even stranger… Peter readily admitted to being one. (The Man Who Went On Trial For Being a Werewolf) *** It's first sighting was described as “half man and half beast, standing about five feet six inches, with a tall pointed head. Whatever it was that he had seen, he was convinced that it was neither a bear nor a monkey.” We take a look at the mysterious creature, the Yeti. (Taking a Look At the Yeti Phenomenon) *** On May 16, 1929, Al Capone was arrested in Philadelphia on gun-carrying charges – but it was a put-up job that unfortunately led to a year in prison and Capone's first encounters with the ghost that he believed haunted him to the grave! (Al Capone and the Ghost of Jimmy Clark) *** Seeing an intruder while in the shower may sound cliché for the movies – but not so much when it happens to you. (Those Strange Fingertips) *** Multiple women have disappeared without a trace from what has become known as Ireland's ‘vanishing triangle'. Their fates still remain a mystery. (The Ireland Vanishings) *** When you see something out of the corner of your eye, simply to turn and not see anything there… is it your imagination, or is something else at work? (From Work to Home) *** The ancient pterodactyl, the legendary thunderbird, the cryptid known as the Mothman: could they all be one and the same?

Episode Summary: The Age of Victoria continues its 2026 “Famine & Revolution” series by stepping away from the political scandals of Lola Montez and into the microscopic world of a biological invader. In this episode, we begin our deep dive into the “Hungry Forties” by looking at the environmental and material foundations of the era. Using the “Longue Durée” framework of the Annales School, we explore the forces that dictate the fate of civilizations. We examine the “Malthusian Trap”—the point where surging urban populations outstripped the land's ability to feed them—and why the humble potato was both the savior and the Achilles’ heel of the 19th-century economy. Support the Show: This podcast is fiercely independent and relies on listener support to maintain access to academic archives and primary sources. To help us reach our goal of 25 paying patrons this month and keep the history deep, please join the crew at: Patreon.com/ageofvictoria Key Topics Covered: The Annales School & Fernand Braudel: Why history is more than just economics or the work of great people—it is the slow, grinding reality of the “Longue Durée”: climate, biology, and the material systems that constrain human action. The “Biological Invader”: The science of Phytophthora infestans. How a fungus from the Americas managed to cross the Atlantic and “dissolve” the food supply of a continent. The Malthusian Trap: A demographic analysis of the early 19th century. We look at the “tipping point” where population growth finally collided with limited agricultural resources. Urbanisation & The Hinterland: How industrial mega-cities like London and Paris broke the traditional link between people and their food sources, creating a precarious global supply chain. The Chemistry of the Potato: Why the potato was the “perfect” industrial crop—producing more calories per acre than any grain—and why its monoculture became a death trap. The Global “Hungry Forties”: Debunking the myth that the famine was a localized event; tracing the “Pandemic of Rot” as it moved from the USA to Belgium, Prussia, Scotland, and Ireland.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

Instead of praising Irish soldiers who died fighting for England in World War I, the song asks why they were not fighting for their own land instead. It tells of ordinary men and women who stood up against a powerful empire, even when the odds were stacked against them. That's why it's a rebel song—it's about choosing freedom, courage, and self-respect over obedience. Versions like the one by Erin Ruth keep that spirit alive, reminding us that quiet voices can still challenge injustice and inspire change. 15:09 - Erin Ruth "The Foggy Dew" from Erin Ruth 18:25 - NEW PROTEST SONG INSPIRED BY STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION "Chain of Command, Part II" from Star Trek: The Next Generation centers on Captain Picard as a prisoner of the Cardassians. His captor, Gul Madred, uses pain and fear to try to control him. But the real goal is not information. It is obedience. Madred wants Picard to stop trusting his own eyes and accept what the government tells him is true. Again and again, Picard is pushed to say something he knows is false. The episode shows how power can try to rewrite reality—and how courage can be as simple, and as hard, as holding on to the truth. It echoes George Orwell's 1984, reminding us that the final test of freedom is whether we trust our own eyes—or believe the government when it tells us we are wrong. 21:34 - Marc Gunn "Four Lights" from Four Lights single 23:56 - TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations.

Your support is the reason I'm still making music, telling stories, and showing up month after month. Patreon is how modern, independent musicians survive and thrive. Album Pins and CDs help get me on the road and in front of live audiences, but my day-to-day livelihood—the time it takes to write, record, podcast, film, and share—comes directly from Patrons of the Arts. As we continue into a new year, Patreon is where everything comes together. Patrons receive a brand-new song download every month. These are exclusive tracks you won't find anywhere else—works in progress, experiments, and finished songs that come straight from my creative desk to you. You'll also get regular updates when there's news to share, behind-the-scenes blogs, short and long-form videos, and access to a growing archive of bootleg concert recordings and special performances. You can join for as little as $5 a month. That small commitment adds up to real stability. It buys time to write songs. It funds recording and production. It keeps the creative engine running without chasing algorithms or trends. And if supporting financially isn't possible right now, that's okay. You can still join Patreon for free and receive regular updates, thoughts, and stories as they happen. Being part of the community matters, whether you're pledging or simply listening along. Patreon isn't just support—it's collaboration. It's how these songs, podcasts, and ideas exist at all. If you'd like more details, just email follow@celtfather. I'd love to have you along for the journey this year. 27:08 - QUEST & CHORUS of IRISH LASSIES The Irish Lassies are a 6-piece American Celtic folk band native to New York's Finger Lakes region. The band started when long-time childhood friends decided to take their casual Irish sessions and grow into a professional folk group. In only a few short years, the Irish Lassies have become known as one of the premier Celtic bands in New York State. Their self-titled album The Irish Lassies is comprised of traditional Irish music with unique Lassies' arrangements. Immigration Stories, an all-original album, aims to take listeners back to 18th and 19th century America with heart-felt true tales of Irish settlers. The Lassies' unique style focuses on powerful ballads using six-part harmonies and soulful songs that will invite you to raise a glass, dance, and sing along with a set list that takes you on a journey from Ireland to America. Slainte! 32:42 - The Irish Lassies "Burnout on the Peanut line" from Immigration Stories 35:14 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

Before we go, a quick reminder: caring about Celtic culture also means caring about the land that shaped it. The songs we love were born from fields, coasts, forests, and villages that depend on a healthy planet. Climate action doesn't have to be loud or perfect. It starts small. Walk when you can. Choose renewable energy if it's available to you. Support artists, farmers, and local businesses who care about the earth. Reduce waste. Reuse what you can. Leave a place better than you found it. When we protect the land, we protect the music, the stories, and the generations yet to sing them. Sláinte—and thank you for listening.

When Anne Boleyn returned to England from France in late 1521, she wasn't coming back for love, ambition, or a crown. She was being recalled for politics. Her return was prompted not by royal interest, but by a proposed marriage, a diplomatic solution to a dangerous inheritance dispute in Ireland. If that plan had gone ahead, Anne might have become Countess of Ormond, living at Kilkenny Castle. No queenship. No religious revolution. No execution at the Tower of London. In this episode of my Anne Boleyn series, I explore: Why Anne was recalled from France The Ormond inheritance dispute and Tudor Ireland The political marriage planned between Anne and James Butler How marriage functioned as a tool of Tudor diplomacy Anne's return to court and her first public appearance at Château Vert Why this moment is not the start of a royal love story with Henry VIII Subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss the next episode in this series.

UK UFO researcher, Philip Mantle, joins us to discuss his book, UFO Landings UK, a deep dive into hundreds of alleged UFO landing cases across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, spanning from the early 1900s to the present day. Mantle reflects on the formative Normanton landing case in West Yorkshire that ignited his lifelong investigation into close-range UFO encounters. He then details several cases of high strangeness, echoing the research philosophy of J. Allen Hynek, who argued that the closer and more prolonged an encounter, the harder it is to explain away.

Woah Nelly, hold onto the straps tightly…this episode is going to blow your doors off. Episode 464 of The IMPACT SHOW is a must-listen for any leader, entrepreneur, coach, or high performer who wants to grow, lead better, and create real impact in the world today. Today's guest is one of the most dynamic and transformational speakers I've ever heard…and I've heard a lot. His name is Jeremy Foster. I first heard Jeremy speak live in early 2025. He was amazing. I invited him to speak at my Annual Mountain Retreat (Whitefish, MT) in November and he did it again...he hit a grand-slam. I said it then — and I'll say it again — he's one of the Top 5 speakers in the world. He spoke for over two hours and had the room completely locked in. People were laughing, high-fivin', shouting, crying, and most importantly, doing some serious inner work. In this episode, you're getting a powerful excerpt from that live talk — and I promise it will challenge how you see yourself and how you lead. Jeremy's journey is as compelling as his message. From bull-riding cowboy and political consultant to pastor, leadership coach, to Chief Marketing Officer for John Maxwell's organization to now leading his own company, he brings grit, wisdom, humor, depth, and clarity to everything he does. Today, he works closely with CEOs and leadership teams in his FosCo Leadership Company, helping organizations build alignment, culture, and sustainable growth — all rooted in faith and purpose. In this episode, Jeremy dives into what he calls "The Awareness Advantage" — what the best leaders see that others don't. Most leaders think they're self-aware, but only a small percentage actually are, and that gap is costing teams and organizations more than they realize. This conversation will push you to confront blind spots, examine your patterns, and lead with greater clarity and conviction. Here's what you'll take away in this episode: The Real Leadership Gap: Self-Awareness Most leaders think they're self-aware — but research shows only 10–15% actually are. That gap? It's costing you culture, alignment, trust, and results. Jeremy breaks down how self-deception, not strategy or talent, is often the real roadblock holding leaders and organizations back. Sometimes You're the Solution… and Sometimes You're the Problem One of the most powerful truths in leadership: You can't fix what you won't own. Jeremy walks us through how elite leaders learn to recognize where they are the bottleneck — and how awareness becomes the gateway to growth. Patterns & People If your business is struggling, it's rarely the product — and it's not always the people. Jeremy unpacks the big three: 1. People 2. Patterns 3. Resources And why broken patterns and systems, not "bad hires," are often the real issue behind underperformance. Values Aren't Aspirational — They're Behavioral Values aren't what you say you believe — they're what your behaviors prove. If your values don't show up in how you schedule, communicate, hire, lead, and live… they're not values — they're just vision statements. Awareness Unlocks Purpose Jeremy powerfully connects leadership, mindset, faith, and purpose — reminding us that your next breakthrough won't come from learning more tactics… It will come from learning more about you. When awareness increases, alignment follows — and when alignment follows, impact explodes. This episode will stretch you. It will challenge your thinking.

Colm Tóibín is a celebrated Irish writer, but as a child words didn't come easily. Navigating grief as a boy when his father died, he developed a stammer. Instead of talking, Colm watched and listened, collecting stories that wove their way into his novels. He's won a string of awards and been nominated for the prestigious Booker Prize three times. His novel Brooklyn was made into a movie starring Saoirse Ronan and was up for several Oscars. He finds it hilarious that although he was invited to the event he had to be ushered in through a back door – the red carpet is apparently not for novelists. Beyond his writing, Colm was a vocal campaigner for the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Ireland. He's also breaking taboos by speaking openly about testicular cancer and highlighting some of the comedy moments from those bleak times. His latest book is called A Long Winter.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Andrea KennedyLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story.

Welcome to Kennedys Month at Right Answers Mostly. We're kicking things off at the very beginning: the building of the Kennedy dynasty and the man behind it all, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.. The Kennedy story begins with famine in Ireland, and a risky escape to Boston, Massachusetts. We unpack how Juicy Joe built his fortune, pulled the strings behind the scenes, and paved the way for his sons, most famously John F. Kennedy, to enter politics. Was it clean? Not exactly. Was it effective? Absolutely. From backroom deals to carefully crafted public images, this is the origin story of how the Kennedys didn't just enter American politics, they conquered it, and sealed their place as American royalty. THIS IS THE KENNEDY DYNASTY!

Chris is joined by John Barclay at the Six Nations launch in Edinburgh to quiz the men hoping to lead their nation to glory in 2026. Are England and France the clear favourites for the title? They chat to Steve Borthwick about the added expectation this year after they racked up 11 wins in a row in 2025. Andy Farrell says Ireland are the hunters not the hunted this year, but how will their lengthy injury list impact their chances of regaining their title? Steve Tandy makes his pod debut as he talks openly about the off-field issues that are looming over another campaign Wales. What does success look like for them this year? Gregor Townsend tells us this is the best Scotland squad he's had, but can they put their disappointing autumn to one side and finally mount a serious title challenge? They start in Rome and our favourite multilingual coach Gonzalo Quesada is back to talk fashion and what it would mean to finally beat England in the Six Nations.

Longevity is a hot topic these days. We're obsessed with anti-ageing, as if getting older should be avoided or even reversed at all costs! Of course, we can't do that and I'm not sure we'd really want to. But today's guest brings valuable insights about what we can do, to make sure we age healthily and happily.    Professor Rose Anne Kenny is a medical gerontologist and Regius Professor of Physic and Chair of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin. She's the Founding Principal Investigator of Ireland's largest population study of ageing (TILDA) and the author of the international bestseller Age Proof: The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life.  In this conversation, Professor Kenny reveals that while 20 percent of ageing is genetic and can't be changed, 80 percent is epigenetic – in other words, we have the power to influence how quickly or how slowly we age. Her number one recommendation is having good quality friendships and relationships throughout our lives. Then follows a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and reducing stress. So nothing too surprising, perhaps. But what might surprise you is just how far reaching the effects of these relatively simple measures can be – and how much what you do in your 20s can impact your 80s. We talk about how to avoid metabolic syndrome and why it's important to know key biological markers throughout life. We take a deep dive into the benefits of community, family, volunteering and inter-generational friendships, and discuss the undercurrent of ageism that prevails in society. Loneliness increased threefold during the pandemic, according to the TILDA study, and it's left some people feeling afraid to reconnect. Yet isolation is known to cause inflammation, suppress immunity and speed ageing. Professor Kenny believes we should flip convenience on its head when it comes to exercise. Instead of taking the easy option that means moving less, we should look at the ‘harder' options, such as taking the stairs or carrying heavy bags, as convenient ways to build activity and strength training into our lives. She also shares excellent advice on sex and intimacy, sleeping better, laughing more, and finding purpose all around you. This really is a wonderful and practical conversation that is going to give you a variety of simple ways to play the long game when it comes to ageing. And the empowering message is that it's never too early and it's never too late to start.    Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
