Live show! Thurs, Oct 23 at The Burren, Davis Square, Somerville, MassOctober is Domestic Violence Awareness month. We should be talking about domestic violence, and how to prevent it, all the time, to help others recognize what it is and how insidious that it can be. It is not just bruises and black eyes. Jennifer Martel's case is like so many other women who were tied to a bad relationship through a shared child. Few people seemed to know what Jennifer was really going through at home. There were many reasons why leaving was so difficult. The Murder of Jennifer Martel, Waltham, MassachusettsIt is like so many other women's stories who were trying to see a way out. It is like so many other stories where the victim is lost in the headlines of the case. What it is not like is how she was murdered by a very dangerous man who had been dangerous for a long time. He was someone she was and had been with for years. The man who was the son of a beloved voice of Red Sox Nation, Jerry Remy, the "RemDog." Fenway Park is like church around here. There is a lot of hero worship. Jennifer Martel was 27 when she was murdered. She had a plan for the next phase of her life, a next phase that did not include Jared Remy. Just two days before Jennifer was killed, Remy was arrested for slamming her head into a bathroom mirror. She called to report him — the audio from the 911 call says it all — and Remy was arrested and charged with assault and battery. Jennifer was granted an emergency restraining order that night, and she would be able to extend it the following day, Wednesday, August 14, at Remy's arraignment in Waltham District Court. However, Jennifer did not appear in court and the restraining order expired. Something that would prove to be a grave error on the prosecutors' part is that no one had the foresight to look at his background. No one checked priors. If they had, they would have seen a long history of violence against women. Instead, they sought no bail, and he was released on personal recognizance on an open assault and battery case.It is important to understand why Jennifer didn't attend that arraignment the day before she was stabbed to death in the presence of her 4-year-old and her next door neighbors. History is well documented as to why many women don't appear in abuse cases like this – for fear of retribution, more abuse, how they can support themselves and their children, the pleas of the partner, and, in Jennifer's case, from the Remys. Patty Martel said Jennifer heard from Remy's mother, Phoebe, who begged her not to file a complaint because it would ruin Remy's life. His life. Mrs. Remy, according to the Martels, said they would protect her. Maybe Mrs. Remy believed what she was saying, but her son's history of violence was crystal clear.National Domestic Violence Hotline | thehotline.org | Call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233)Jane Doe Inc | janedoe.org | Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic ViolenceCrime of the Truest Kind | Follow @crimeofthetruestkindOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.com Follow: @crimeofthetruestkind Support: patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkind Created, written, hosted by Anngelle Wood#MassachusettsTrueCrime #NewEngland #TrueCrime #Storytelling #CrimeHistory #Advocacy #Podcast #ColdCases #Unsolved #Missing #Society #AnngelleWood Hosted on Acast.

From sucklers to sheep, AI to scanning, and sheep dog demonstrations to relief milking, 19-year-old Aaron McGann has plenty of irons in the fire when it comes to farming. From Bellharbour in Co Clare, Aaron has had a strong interest in farming from a young age and was an early starter in getting his own farm enterprises off the ground. His father Martin and mother Martina always had sucklers. In his early teenage years he started his own sheep flock and also began working with local dairy farmers, Bryan and Deirdre Hynes. In transition year he completed his AI technician course and got a job doing sheep dog demonstrations at Caherconnell Stone Fort. To this day, he still keeps up all of the above and shows on the weekend in his spare time. Aaron had great success at Tullamore Show with his Bluefaced Leicesters. Hosted on Acast.

Carl Wright never intended to make a garden when he bought an old cottage in The Burren. Had he known he'd become smitten with plants he wouldn't have chosen to live in an area famous for it's limestone rock covered by a thin layer of soil. But after importing hundreds of tons of topsoil over 25 years he has created a garden like no other. It's a space that sensitively fits into its unique surroundings and is full of valuable lessons for those wanting to bring an old overgrown garden back from the brink. Also on the programme, Adam Frost chooses cotinus ‘Grace' as his shrub of the month. Garden wildlife expert Katy Bell brings in her skull collection and chats about mammals to look out for in the garden during autumn. Rosie Maye joins David in studio to answer listeners' questions and bring some seasonal gardening inspiration. Email the programme at gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk

Ten years ago, on Sunday, August 30, 2015, Denise Robert embarked on her routine Sunday night walk. She was shot and killed in that northside neighborhood, in Manchester, NH, the city she grew up in. She was found after neighbors reporrted seeing a person laying in the street.At 62, Denise was active and fit, her walks were a cherished ritual. She radiated a vibrant energy. Denise had always been a beacon of enthusiasm, for art, life, and adventure. She embraced every opportunity. Her passion for exploration was something she shared with her large family; As the oldest of 12, they found common ground in their love for the outdoors. She fostered a sense of adventure with her siblings and together they explored the mountains and trails of New Hampshire.Her death that night in 2015 remains a mystery - to law enforcement, and to everyone who knew her. Denise's murder remains unsolved. New Hampshire Cold Case Unit says it's open and active, that they still receive tips, yet still no suspects, no people of interest exist.Denise was a professional, having worked in sales and advertising for local newspapers for decades, she was not a person with enemies. Denise was simply out for a walk that night to reset for the week ahead. There haven't been any public updates on her case since 2017 when a search took place at a Londonderry property that was related to a man that could have been in the area at the time of her death.I speak to her brother John about her case, updates from the newly expanded cold case unit, family advocacy, and NH Coalition of Familes of the Missing and Murdered.Manchester, NH - The Queen City - New Hampshire's largest city, ranks among America's best places to live, and also has been plagued with drugs, crime, and homelessness.More at crimeofthetruestkind.com | Follow the show links | Contact Anngelle at crimeofthetruestkind-at-gmail-comLIve show dates:Thursday,9/11 at Off Cabot, Beverly, MassThursday 10/23 at The Burren, Somverville, MassSupport the show: patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkind Hosted on Acast.

Rising music star Séamus Harty joined Derrick ahead of his final Irish tour stop at Pot Duggans, reflecting on his recent single The Butterfly House and his journey so far. PJ Carmody, Senior Executive Technician, West Clare Municipal District, Clare County Council and Dr. Eamon Doyle of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark shared updates on recent fossil finds, youth science initiatives Ennistymon street cleaning, and upcoming cultural collaborations, including Daithí Ó Drónaí's Common Threads project. Ennistymon-based actress Jacinta Sheerin and Furglan NS Principal Patricia Vaughan discussed the filming of the award-winning short film The Parting at the local school. Spella Zupanihle of Lisdoonvarna Fáilte highlighted an urgent community effort to raise funds for vital repairs to the town's only playground, while Niall O'Keeffe, Chair of Hurling Club and Councillor Shane Talty reflected on the local pride surrounding Ennistymon GAA.

Seit über fünfzig Jahren sammelt Ernst Burren Stimmen und Stimmungen aus seiner solothurnischen Umgebung und verwandelt sie in Mundart-Texte von literarischer Weltgeltung. Darin spiegelt sich der Zustand eines Landes, wo Anschluss und Gemeinschaft gewünscht, aber nicht unbedingt verwirklicht sind. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will:  Samstag, 02.08.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Als im letzten Jahrhundert die Schweizerinnen und Schweizer ihren Feierabend vermehrt vor dem eigenen Fernsehapparat zu verbringen beginnen, wächst das Bedürfnis, auch ausländische Sender zu empfangen. Deshalb schliesst man sich in den 1970er-Jahren quer durchs Land in vielerlei Initiativen zusammen, um auf den Anhöhen sogenannte Gemeinschaftsantennen zu errichten. So lernen auch die hiesigen Haushalte die Programme von ARD und ZDF kennen. Man ist anschlussfähig geworden und bleibt umso lieber daheim. Diese Erfahrung scheint auch für den literarischen Beobachter Ernst Burren prägend gewesen zu sein. Das Spannungsfeld von innen und aussen, Öffnung und Rückzug, Für-sich- und In-der-Welt-Sein durchzieht sein ganzes Werk, von den frühesten Gedichten (darunter eines mit dem Titel «färnsehluege») bis zur jüngsten Veröffentlichung «Nume no vor em Färnseh». Zum 80. Geburtstag des Autors im November 2024 stellte der SRF-Regisseur Reto Ott eine Reihe dieser zeitlos anmutenden Texte zu einem neuen Hörspiel zusammen und nahm sie mit vielen prominenten Stimmen wie Mike Müller und Birgit Steinegger chorisch und monologisch auf. Die mehrschichtige Klangspur von Stefan Weber unterlegt die Texte mit Tönen aus dem Schweizer Mittelland, historischen Sequenzen aus dem SRF-Archiv und dem unverwechselbaren Sound des Unterhaltungsorchesters des Schweizer Radios (UOR), der aus den Siebzigern ins Heute herüberweht. ____________________ Mit: Ueli Jäggi, Birgit Steinegger, Mike Müller, Rahel Hubacher, Dieter Stoll, Lisa Christ, Mario Fuchs, Sara Capretti, Ernst C.

One of the biggest earthquakes in modern history has been picked up in North Clare. A magnitude 8.8 event struck the Kamchatka peninsula on Russia's Pacific coast last night, prompting evacuation orders in a nearby port town as well as in Japan where two million were advised to vacate to higher ground. The quake, which is the largest since 2004's magnitude 9.1 event near Indonesia's Sumatra Island which prompted a tsunami that killed roughly 220,000 people, was captured by the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark's seismometer in Ennistymon. Geologist with the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, Dr Eamon Doyle says while it's early days, it doesn't seem to have caused serious damage so far.

If you've been out and about around Clare this summer, you might have noticed a very handy little shuttle bus making its way through some of the county's most scenic and historic spots. It's called the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Explorer Shuttle Bus, and it's been ferrying both tourists and locals around to and from the Cliffs of Moher, and around to places like Corofin, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan and Miltown Malbay — giving people a chance to explore without needing a car. It's all part of a campaign to promote sustainable travel in the Burren Geopark, support local businesses, and help us all slow down and soak up what's on our doorstep. To tell us a bit more about how it all works, and why it's not just for visitors, Colum McGrath sat down with Siobhán King — she's the Projects Officer for County Clare with Fáilte Ireland.

The countdown is on to a thrilling challenge set against one of Ireland's most iconic natural backdrops.

It's claimed some communities in North Clare have been "bypassed" by tourism initiatives. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy has asked Clare Tourism and Fáilte Ireland to work with towns and villages across the region to develop a "local area business and community training program" for each. It follows the establishment of the Burren and Cliffs Explorer shuttle bus in May which serves areas like Ballyvaughan, Corofin, Carran, Kilfenora, Doolin, Liscannor, Lahinch, Lisdoonvarna and Miltown Malbay. Councillor Garrihy believes smaller areas need a helping in hand in enhancing their tourism offering.

We really get in there with our guest on this week's show, Cormac McGinley. Cormac runs walking tours along the Cliffs of Moher and all over the Burren in County Clare, one of our favorite places in Ireland. Name an -ology and Cormac probably studied it, and he brings his love of science to his love of Ireland with him on every walk he leads.On this episode, we speak with Cormac about really getting to know a place deeply; ecological wrong turns and the unnatural Irish landscape; the impact of consumer culture and how to separate needs from wants; and how he is working on building a life so that if tourism vanishes, he can still live in his favorite place. Much like our previous guests, Cormac also imparts some valuable life advice: “Time is all we have, so retain a sense of humor and try not to be a dick.”Dyed Green is a project of Bog & Thunder, whose mission is to highlight the best of Irish food and culture, through food tours, events, and media.
