By Jonathan Beam - Drawing on a hike along Ireland's Cliffs of Moher, this message asks a simple but piercing question: are we fleeing from sin, or testing how close we can get to it without falling?

What if a story buried in your family for more than a century suddenly asked you to tell it? Brigid Kennedy's story begins with a real Irish treasure hunter, her great-grandfather Robert Patrick Kennedy, who crossed the Atlantic, married Eudocia Rodrigues in Arequipa, Peru, in 1910—and then disappeared into the Amazon.The story survived in fragments until one night, when Brigid's grandmother appeared to her in a dream and asked her to write the family story.Brigid had never written a novel. She said yes.The result is LOST — The Lost City of Incan Gold, a historical fantasy rooted in her Irish and Incan heritage.In this remarkable conversation, Michael and Brigid explore family mysteries, ancestral places, the power of heritage, and what happens when we travel across the world to reconnect with the people who came before us.From Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and Galway to the monastery in Peru where her great-grandparents married, this is a story about the past refusing to stay buried—and one woman's journey to bring it back to life.Sometimes the story isn't lost. It's waiting to be remembered.Takeaways:The story of Brigid Kennedy's great-grandfather, an Irish treasure hunter, is a profound tale that spans cultures and generations.Brigid's journey to write her family's history began with a dream from her grandmother, prompting her to uncover a long-buried legacy.The intertwining of Irish and Incan heritage in Brigid's novel serves as a testament to the power of ancestry and storytelling.Brigid's travels to Ireland and Peru allowed her to connect deeply with her roots, enriching her narrative with authenticity and emotion.The act of saying 'yes' to her grandmother's call led Brigid to rediscover her family's past and share it with the world through her writing.The conversation highlights the importance of reclaiming one's heritage and the stories that shape our identities across time and space.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of unanswered prayers or unexpected detours, this conversation is for you. As I sit down with author Laurie Short, we talk about how looking back at God's faithfulness gives us the confidence to trust Him with what's ahead. Laurie shares powerful stories from her own life, practical ways to recognize God's hand in your story, and why even painful seasons aren't wasted. My prayer is that you'll walk away with fresh hope, a stronger faith, and a renewed confidence that God is still writing a beautiful story in your life (because, my friend, He is).

In a recent episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence welcome Cathal Quinn, CEO of MOY Roof Waterproofing System Specialists, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and the experiences that shape great leaders. Today, Cathal leads an industry-recognized business supporting critical infrastructure and data centers, but his journey to executive leadership was far from conventional. In a candid discussion, Cathal reflects on his early ambitions in athletics, the struggles that led him to the darkest point of his life, his battle with severe gambling addiction, and the long road of accountability, healing, and purpose that followed. Long before stepping into the business world, Cathal was a teenager driven by basketball. At just twelve years old, he was working illegal pub shifts to afford his basketball shoes, finding purpose and belonging on the court. Those early experiences shaped the values that continue to define his leadership today: accountability, resilience, teamwork, and the ability to move forward after failure. For Cathal, sports taught him an important lesson: mistakes are inevitable, but self-pity cannot be allowed to define the outcome: “When you make a mistake, don't you dare hang your head and feel sorry for yourself... There's no time for self-pity." However, Cathal's journey also brought him to an incredibly difficult chapter. After reaching what he describes as rock bottom, he found himself standing at the edge of the Cliffs of Moher, contemplating ending his life. In that moment, it was not confrontation or judgment that changed his path, but compassion from an off-duty police officer who approached him with empathy and understanding. That encounter became a defining moment in Cathal's life, reinforcing the power of human connection and the importance of meeting people where they are: “And that sentence that sticks with me to today... was probably the first time in my life that I remember an adult not being overly authoritative, and the words that I remember was, ‘You do not have to do this today.'” Following treatment and the support of a mentor who recognized his potential, Cathal began the difficult process of rebuilding his life. Years later, he returned to MOY — the company he had once left — and took on the responsibility of leading it forward. His story is not simply one of overcoming adversity, but of committing every day to becoming a better person, parent, and leader. Reflecting on his transformation, Cathal shares: “I am so proud of the person I am today. I'm so happy with who I am today... I'm doing everything in my power today to be the best version I can be of myself, and that's all I can truly do.” Cathal Quinn's story is a powerful reminder that leadership is not defined by a perfect path, but by the courage to confront challenges, learn from the past, and continue moving forward. His journey demonstrates the impact of second chances, personal accountability, and the resilience required to create meaningful change. Connect with Cathal Quinn on LinkedIn to continue the conversation and learn more about his experiences, insights, and leadership journey.

Sandstone, Minn., is known today for rock climbing, ice climbing and whitewater rafting. But before it became an outdoor recreation destination, it was one of the Midwest's most important sandstone-producing communities. When a Curious Minnesota listener asked about the area's towering quarry walls, Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Christa Lawler set out to uncover their history. What she found was a story of railroad tycoons, booming industry, dangerous labor, remarkable engineering—and an entire town that was moved to accommodate the railroad. In this episode, host Erica Pearson and Lawler visit the abandoned quarry sites, hear firsthand accounts from former quarry workers preserved in local archives, and explore how Sandstone transformed from an industrial powerhouse into one of Minnesota's hidden gems for outdoor adventure. If you've ever driven through Sandstone on the way to Duluth, this episode might convince you it's worth making the stop.

This would have made more sense if we put it out a few weeks ago - It's a listicle episode where we discuss gaming's best da's. We've got absent da's, we've got demanding da's, we've got weird Dr. Frankenstein figures. Who's your favourite?

Plenty of comments and questions from you this week for Nick and Mark to discuss on our Friday Feedback pod.

rWotD Episode 3354: Charlesworth Cliffs Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 10 July 2026, is Charlesworth Cliffs.The Charlesworth Cliffs (80°14′S 25°18′W) are a series of steep cliffs near the north end of the central ridge of the Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range. They were photographed from the air by the U. S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–1971. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, they were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after John K. Charlesworth (1889–1972), Irish geologist; Professor of Geology, Queen's University Belfast, 1921–1954; author of The Quaternary Era, With Special Reference to its Glaciation, London, 1957.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Friday, 10 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Charlesworth Cliffs on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Nicole.

Top three breads, top three brands, and plenty of controversy — from Brennan's vs Irish Pride to sourdough, part-baked rolls, and even a rogue shout for Veda.And finally: does a scone count as bread?

Dynasty startups are not won by following ADP. They're won by understanding where value disappears.In this episode of The TDR Show, Kevin Coleman and Jay Stein break down the biggest dynasty startup tier cliffs at every position. Using current startup ADP, they identify where the elite quarterback tier ends, which running backs still possess league-winning upside, where wide receivers transition from franchise cornerstones to flex options, and whether tight end has become a six-player position.The conversation dives into some of the most important dynasty decisions managers face during startup season:

We’re just 72 days away from the start of the Division III football season, and in that time, there’s a bunch of work to get done, including getting ready for the D3football.com preseason Top 25. We’re hungry for football to get started! And we’re getting you there with a couple of great conversations with coaches and Division III schools putting in that offseason work. That includes at Ohio Northern, which was stung at the last second in the NPI calculation and just missed the NCAA playoffs. Then the Polar Bears were stung at the last second in their bowl game, as Wabash scored at the end of the game, plus connected on a two-point conversion to get the win. That’s a lot of stinging, but the Polar Bears have worked away from that, including going as far as Ireland to find a summer opponent and get themselves ready for the 2026 Division III football season. ONU coach Andy Fries talks with us about that trip, the beautiful Cliffs of Moher which you see on the podcast thumbnail image, breaking in a new quarterback and so much more in our conversation in Podcast 410. Patrick Coleman also dropped by his alma mater, Catholic U., to chat with the Cardinals’ new coach, Kory David. Of course, things look a little different around CUA these days, and the new coach is a longtime defensive coach who played and coached at Cortland, while also driving defenses at Hobart, Muhlenberg and Eastern. In addition to answering the long-debated question of Wawa vs. Sheetz, David also talks about his two young coordinators, who he hired away from Mike Sirianni at Washington & Jefferson, as well as recruiting the northeast corridor, bringing a startup mentality to a CUA program which was 3-7 last year, and much more. Mentioned in the podcast: ATN Podcast 370, Much to be thankful for, featuring Mike Gutelius Plus we answer mailbag questions about Rowan and Hardin-Simmons, and discuss the latest coaching change at Hilbert. That and more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts how between 7:20 and 8:00 a.m., the Rangers began their assault using rocket-propelled grappling hooks to fire wet ropes up the 90-foot cliffs. The climb was conducted under intense fire from German MG42machine guns and "potato masher" hand grenades lobbed from above. Sergeant Len Lomell was shot through the side during the ascent but continued to the summit, which he described as looking like the cratered surface of the moon due to the preceding bombardments. The Rangers utilized the craters and ruins for cover, fighting through a maze of tunnels and bunkers against defenders who remained entrenched in an underground labyrinth. Upon reaching the designated casemates, the Rangers discovered the Germans had moved the massive guns to an apple orchard 700 yards inland, leaving telephone poles in their place as decoys. Acting on his own initiative, Lomell followed tire tracks leading away from the casemates and discovered the guns hidden under nets in the orchard. Remarkably, the German gun crews were assembled nearby, listening to an officer's orders and leaving the weapons briefly unguarded. Lomell and Sergeant Jack Kuhn used thermite grenades to melt the gears of the guns, rendering them inoperable. Through the efforts of these two men, the primary objective of the entire D-Day mission was accomplished, succeeding where hundreds of bombers and heavy naval guns had failed. (3)1944

The Marc Cox Morning Show pauses for something truly special — a story about sacrifice, honor, and the kind of American patriotism that never goes out of style. Grafton Mayor Mike Morrow joins to share the breathtaking story behind the National Memorial of Military Ascent, twelve life-size bronze soldiers scaling a Mississippi River bluff in a stunning tribute to the U.S. Army Rangers who stormed the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. From a God-sent moment on River Road to $3.5 million raised, real young men scanned and cast in bronze, and a three-star general set to dedicate the monument — this is what community, faith, and love of country look like in action. And Mike Morrow did it all without taking a single dollar in salary. The dedication is Saturday, June 6th at 9:30 a.m. in Grafton — and if you have any love for the men who gave everything for this country, you need to be there. Don't miss it.

A plane plunging into the Pacific, leaving nothing but sky and endless water. Forty-seven days drifting, starving, dying—and somehow surviving. Miners trapped miles underground, surrounded by darkness and despair. Cities scorched by atomic fire, where life itself seemed impossible. A Japanese prison camp designed to break men, and yet one refused to bow. Lightning striking without mercy. Cliffs crumbling beneath desperate hands. Fire swallowing a child whole. These are not tales of luck; they are moments where fate seemed set, where the impossible became real, and where ordinary people became witnesses to the miraculous. We uncover stories of survival that defy every law of nature, every expectation, and every logic humanity has ever known… But what were they saved for? Why them? And are you someone who has also been saved?

The Dudes are back, Trent kicks things off with a wild Chinese buffet story that somehow ends with a pickle in his sushi roll, a perfect metaphor for reaching too early and immediately regretting it (just ask anyone who drafted Bucky Irving last year).The crew is back live every Tuesday, and this episode they're diving deep into Early-Round Reaches — the players they're flat-out refusing to draft at current ADP. They break down Ashton Jeanty, Malik Nabers' ACL recovery concerns, Brock Bowers' regression risk, Christian McCaffrey's age cliff, and plenty more overvalued names climbing boards right now.Trent pulls up Ian Harditz's data on the percentage of top-12 fantasy producers by age over the last 10 years, sparking a great conversation about when players actually fall off. They also react to your replies from X and debate smarter targets you should be loading up on instead.Then things get spicy as they close out the show with their hottest Boomer Sports Takes — from NIL ruining small schools, conference realignment regrets, bottomless apps at Buffalo Wild Wings, and why instant replay is getting out of hand.Connect with the Showhttps://x.com/TFFDudeshttps://www.instagram.com/tffdudes/Watch the Dudes on Youtube athttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2JAx3YD3P-OJRiaqA7wSQwQuestions for the showtffdudes@gmail.comWatch the Dudes on Youtube athttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2JAx3YD3P-OJRiaqA7wSQwSponsorsTrophy Smackwww.trophysmack.com/dudesSleeperwww.sleeper.comDudes100 and they will match you $100 

NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming Buy it -- www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Jim Collins is the author of some of the most influential business books ever written — Good to Great, Built to Last, and Great by Choice. His concepts have become part of the leadership vocabulary. Level 5 Leadership. The Flywheel. First Who, Then What. The Hedgehog Concept. He spent more than a decade at Stanford as a professor and has advised CEOs, four-star generals, and heads of state. His new book is What to Make of a Life: Cliffs, Fog, Fire, and the Self-Knowledge Imperative. It is the product of ten years of research and is the most personal thing he has ever written. We flew to Boulder, Colorado, to record this one in person with Jim. Key Learnings Jim's grandfather wrote his own death story. Jimmy Collins was a test pilot in the 1930s. He told Jim's grandmother, Dolores, that if he died, she should pull the last chapter from his desk and publish it. He died in a test crash. After the service, she pulled out the chapter. The title was "I'm Dead." The last chapter, written in first person, described the plane coming out of the sky, the screaming wings, the crash. The final words, by his own pen: "I am dead now." For seven decades, his grandmother never cried. When Jim asked her in her nineties to tell the story of his grandfather, she cried and said, "Thank you for that. I've never cried before." She'd been a single mom in the middle of the Depression. Of all the things Jim feels good about in his life, asking her to tell that story before she died at almost 100 years old is one he's most proud of. A cliff is an event that alters the trajectory of your life and forces you to reconstruct everything that comes after. Jim's first big cliff: he lost his father while his father was still alive. Jim's father took the family to San Francisco in the 1960s. They lived a few houses down from Haight Street. When a man was shot dead on their doorstep, Jim's mom moved them to Boulder. They lived in a cold basement with cots and a hot plate. They couldn't afford a Christmas tree, so Jim and his brother rolled a boulder into the basement and called it their Christmas rock. The Greyhound bus moment. In high school, Jim took a Thanksgiving turkey on a Greyhound bus down to New Mexico, where his father was living in an adobe hut with a dirt floor. He had this romantic vision: they'd cook the turkey, share Thanksgiving, bond as father and son. The whole weekend, his father had no interest in him. He spent it trying to convince Jim to convince his grandmother to give him money. On the bus ride home, looking out the window into the fog, Jim realized: there will never, ever be a father there. No male role models. No frameworks. No guidance. "I've got this one life. What do I do with it?" The inflection point in Jim's life is Joanne. They got engaged four days after their first date. He'd admired her from afar for years but never had the courage to ask her out. Once they were together, Jim began a conscious process: I need to become a person worthy of being married to her. He didn't know exactly what that meant or how to get there. But he knew that was the work. Forty-six years later, it's still a never-ending journey. What Joanne does brilliantly: she sees what needs attention. Jim is encoded to hear it. Someone once asked Joanne what she thought Jim's greatest strength was. She said: "Jim takes critical feedback better than any person I've ever met." Joanne sees what needs attention. Jim hears it. Then they adapt and adjust. That's the inner flywheel of their marriage. Circle the wagons together. Guns pointing out, never at each other. When life gets really difficult, whether it's disease or other cliffs. You are always together. Always on the inside of the wagons. Never aimed at each other. Joanne won the 1985 Hawaii Ironman by 92 seconds. With a hamstring injury that limited her running training to 16 miles a week, she came off the bike with a 10-minute lead. Then mile by mile, the lead shrank. Nine minutes. Eight. Seven. With a few miles left, she stopped in the middle of the lava field, massaging her legs, almost pleading with them to run. She looked up at the sky. Then her gaze fixed somewhere down the road. She started to run. You're racing for self-respect. Joanne told Jim afterward: in the end, you're racing to know that you couldn't have run a step faster. Only you'll know. If you know you couldn't have run a step faster, that's actually winning. When Jim writes, he's on the lava fields. When he finishes a book, he wants to know he couldn't have written one sentence better. When you're on the lava fields, this is the moment you want to quit. Don't. Writing is thinking. When the writing isn't working, the thinking isn't clear. Go back to the data. Find the through-line. There are three types of luck: What luck. A cancer diagnosis. A guitar left in an empty house. An event that breaks your way. Who luck. The people who walk into your life. Joanne. Morten Hansen. Jerry Porras. Bill Lazier. Zeit luck. When what you're doing intersects with the surrounding zeitgeist. Jimmy Page was in Surrey when the British rock explosion happened. Luck is an event you didn't cause, with significant consequences, and an element of surprise. The big winners weren't luckier. They had a higher return on luck. What you do with luck events matters more than the luck itself. Bill Lazier: the closest thing to a father Jim ever had. Jim ended up in Bill's class at Stanford because the class he was trying to take was full. The random course-sorting mechanism threw him into the first class Bill ever taught. Pure WHO luck. Jim did not cause that.  Discover your encodings. An encoding is a durable capacity of your intrinsic construction that resides within, awaiting discovery through the experiences of life.  Jim has done over 300 online courses on every imaginable subject. Constitutional law. Napoleon. World War I. The history of China. He started them to learn how to teach. Then his curiosity took over. That's what an encoding looks like in the wild. You have a constellation of encodings. Like stars. When your life captures a bright set of those encodings, you're in frame. When it doesn't, you're out of frame. The same person can look amazing in frame and not very amazing out of frame. The most important finding from this book: don't follow anyone else's advice. Their advice is well-meaning. It may have worked beautifully for them. But it worked for them because it flowed from their encodings. And their encodings are not your encodings. Barbara McClintock and Grace Hopper. Two women who won the Nobel Prize and shaped computer science. McClintock was encoded for solitary work. She didn't even have a phone. She heard about her Nobel Prize on the radio. Hopper was encoded to work through people. She kept a pirate flag in her office and once stole furniture for her team in the middle of the night. Two completely different encodings. What they shared: their lives were in alignment with their encodings. Leadership is the art of getting people to want to do what must be done. It's not a trait. It's a choice. Anyone in any organization can lead, depending on their desire to make a difference. Nobody needs to wait for a title. Ryan's encoding is "the relentless persistence of invitation." Jim observed that Ryan has incredible encodings for what he'd describe as attractive persistence. Not pushy. Not aggressive. But persistent and welcoming. The invitation never goes away. The way you lead should be different from everyone else. Because you are encoded differently. Trust your encodings, not their playbook. Roger Sherman saved the U.S. Constitution. Twice. He created the bicameral legislature compromise. He insisted the Bill of Rights be amendments, not rewrites. Yet most people don't know his name. He almost never spoke. He listened in committees and waited for the precise moment to introduce just the right point to turn American history. Quiet. Behind the scenes. Uncharismatic. Unglamorous. Enormously effective. That was his encoding. You should largely ignore what other successful leaders did. It's marvelous to listen to. It might give you ideas. But everything that worked for them reflected their encodings, not yours. The work isn't to copy their playbook. The work is to discover your encodings and trust them. The color of Jim's fire changed. When he was younger, his fuel was rage, fury, and a sense of terror with no safety net. He used to worry that if he ever lost it, he'd lose his drive. What replaced it was a different kind of fire: the joy of curiosity, of being lost in giant projects, of marvelous conversations, of sharing what he's learned. His drive is higher than ever. It just feels a lot better now. The 3x3 reflective practice. After almost any conversation, teaching moment, or significant interaction, Jim writes down three things that went well and three things he could have done better. He's done it for years. He's now systematizing it. He doesn't pause to celebrate. He pauses to learn quickly and move on. At the top of Jim's notes for this conversation: "The biggest reminder for today, reconnecting with an old friend." That's the celebration. What could be a better celebration than reconnecting with somebody you've had marvelous conversations with? Reflection Questions What is your most significant cliff? What did you reconstruct on the other side, and what are you still rebuilding? What are your encodings? Not what you've been told you should be, but what genuinely flows from your intrinsic construction. When have you felt most in frame? Like Jim with Joanne, is there a person or purpose you are actively trying to become worthy of? What would that work look like this week?

There are places in Ireland that ask travelers to slow down, look around, and settle into the rhythm of a place instead of rushing through a checklist. Clare Island and Clew Bay in County Mayo are exactly that kind of destination. Just off the coast near Westport, Clare Island offers dramatic landscapes, deep history, welcoming locals, and experiences that feel personal rather than polished for crowds. During a visit to the island, Clare Island Whiskey founder Carl O'Grady shared why this corner of Mayo leaves such a lasting impression on travelers. This article is based on podcast episode 339 featuring Carl O'Grady, owner of Clare Island Whiskey and resident of Clare Island.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Why Clare Island and Clew Bay Are Perfect for Slow Travel in Ireland For many visitors, an Ireland itinerary follows the well-known route through Dublin, Cork, Kerry, Galway, and the Cliffs of Moher. But County Mayo offers something quieter and more intentional. Carl describes the area as a place where travelers can reconnect with Ireland's stories, landscapes, and communities without feeling rushed. Instead of racing between attractions, visitors are encouraged to spend time exploring villages, talking with locals, and experiencing daily life along the Wild Atlantic Way. The journey itself becomes part of the experience. Reaching Clare Island requires a ferry crossing from Roonagh Pier, a short trip that immediately creates a sense of leaving the mainland behind and arriving somewhere distinct. What Makes Clare Island Different Unlike some of Ireland's busier offshore islands, Clare Island remains small and quiet. The island is about five miles long and home to roughly 100 year-round residents. That smaller scale means visitors won't find large crowds or packed tour groups. Instead, they'll discover: Scenic walking trails Quiet beaches Dramatic cliffs Local pubs with music sessions Historical sites connected to Grace O'Malley Opportunities to connect directly with local businesses and guides The island's slower pace is part of its appeal. Exploring Clew Bay from Westport Westport makes an excellent base for exploring Clew Bay and the wider Mayo region. With major updates underway at Westport Estate, the area is becoming an even stronger destination for travelers looking to stay longer in the west of Ireland. From Westport, visitors can easily explore: The Great Western Greenway cycling route Beaches near Louisburgh Croagh Patrick Achill Island Oyster experiences in Clew Bay Sea safaris along the Mayo coastline Clare Island ferry excursions Plan Your Trip, Not Just Your Stops Articles like this highlight a few great options — but they're just a small part of what Ireland offers. The Ireland Travel Compass brings together hundreds of places across the country and helps you understand how to combine them into a trip that feels balanced and easy to navigate. Explore the Ireland Travel Compass Experiences Around Clew Bay Carl highlighted several memorable experiences visitors should consider while exploring the area. Cycle the Great Western Greenway The Greenway follows a former railway line from Westport through Newport and onward toward Achill. Along the route, travelers pass through villages, coastal scenery, and quiet countryside that showcase everyday life in Mayo. Taste Local Seafood Clew Bay is known for exceptional oysters and seafood experiences. Visitors can learn about oyster farming, taste fresh oysters, and enjoy the bay's connection to the Atlantic. Take a Sea Safari Boat trips around Clare Island and the Mayo coastline offer views of towering sea cliffs, seabird colonies, and marine wildlife. Depending on the season, visitors may spot basking sharks, whales, dolphins, and seabirds along the coast. Visit Mayo's Beaches The beaches near Louisburgh and along the Clew Bay coastline are among the most beautiful in Ireland, offering long stretches of sand and incredible Atlantic views without large crowds. Grace O'Malley's Legacy on Clare Island Travelers arriving on Clare Island are greeted by Grace O'Malley's castle overlooking the harbor. Known as the Pirate Queen of Connacht, Grace O'Malley remains one of Ireland's most fascinating historical figures. Carl recommends Anne Chambers' book on Grace O'Malley for anyone interested in learning more about her life and influence. Historic Sites on Clare Island Beyond the castle, the island offers several important historical landmarks. Clare Island Abbey The 12th-century abbey contains rare medieval ceiling paintings dating to the 13th and 14th centuries. The abbey remains one of the island's most significant cultural sites and offers insight into centuries of island life. The Lighthouse The Clare Island Lighthouse has been restored into a unique accommodation experience overlooking the Atlantic. Carl's uncle served as the last lighthouse keeper there during the 1960s. Today, visitors can stay at the lighthouse while enjoying panoramic views of Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick, and the Mayo coastline. Clare Island Whiskey and Supporting the Island Community One of the island's most distinctive visitor experiences is Clare Island Whiskey. Carl explained that the goal is not mass production or global expansion. Instead, the focus is on creating a meaningful experience tied directly to the island and its future. Visitors can join whiskey tastings, learn about the island's history, and meet the people behind the business. The experience reflects the island's overall philosophy of thoughtful tourism and supporting local communities. Staying on Clare Island Visitors have several accommodation options on the island, including: Boutique guesthouses Bed and breakfasts Lighthouse stays Group accommodations Retreat-style experiences For families or multigenerational groups, staying overnight allows time to fully appreciate the island after day visitors depart. Planning a Visit to Clare Island Getting to Clare Island is relatively simple, but it does require a bit more planning than other destinations along the Wild Atlantic Way. Ferries depart from Roonagh Pier near Louisburgh, and weather conditions can occasionally affect crossings during winter months. That extra effort is part of what keeps Clare Island feeling authentic and connected to its community roots. Travelers who make the journey are rewarded with dramatic scenery, meaningful history, and the kind of welcome that leaves a lasting impression long after the ferry returns to the mainland.

Adam and Dan recap Adam's bizarre recent gig where his voice failed on some songs but suddenly returned mid-set, helped by Amber, and he tested gear including an M5 mic he now praises and a trem setter that improved his Vibrant guitar's tuning stability. They shout out listener Jason Hughes from Dayton, Ohio (Simple Daze), then pivot to Rolling Stone's new “100 Greatest Guitar Solos” list, calling it infuriating rage bait and introducing a “Greatest List Bingo Card” to flag predictable contrarian picks. They debate snubs and weird placements (e.g., “Sultans of Swing,” “Cliffs of Dover,” “Free Bird”), critique questionable inclusions, compare overlap with Guitar World's 2022 reader poll, and run through Rolling Stone's top 20, reacting to live-cut pretension and the surprising #1 pick: Prince's “Purple Rain.”

A chance meeting in Dublin led to a lively catch-up about how travel in Ireland is changing – and how visitors can experience so much more than the usual highlights. Boxty Sharing Platter at Gallagher's Boxty House in Temple Bar Custom Food and Whiskey Tours in Ireland What started as a Dublin food tour has grown into something much bigger. Gráinne, owner of Flavour Trails, has expanded her offerings to meet travelers who want more than a quick stop-and-go itinerary. Visitors can now choose from: Multiple Dublin food tours (including a traditional walking tour with five stops) Whiskey experiences Storytelling tours Fully customized private tours across Ireland The goal is simple: connect travelers not just to places, but to the people producing the food and drink they're enjoying.

From City Streets to the Irish Countryside While Dublin remains a fantastic base, many travelers want to explore beyond the city, and that's where these bespoke tours really shine. Options include day trips or multi-day journeys to places like: Cliffs of Moher Glendalough Giant's Causeway Donegal But these aren't typical sightseeing drives. Instead, each trip is built around immersive experiences. Travelers might: Go foraging with local experts Visit a working goat cheese farm Take part in a cookery school Tour local distilleries Meet producers behind the food One standout experience even includes a quick flight to Donegal, landing on the beach, followed by a distillery visit, dinner, and an overnight stay before exploring Glenveagh National Park. Building an Itinerary That Fits You One of the biggest shifts in Irish travel is flexibility. Instead of rigid itineraries, travelers can now shape their own experience. Want a single day out of Dublin? Choose a few curated stops.Have more time? Add more experiences and slow the pace. This approach allows visitors to: Spend more time in places they love Discover areas they may not have considered Avoid the “rush from one highlight to the next” It's a more personal way to experience Ireland—and one that leaves a lasting impression. Why Slowing Down Matters Many travelers still follow the classic routes: like heading from the Cliffs of Moher straight to Galway or rushing from Wicklow to Kilkenny. But that often means missing what makes those regions special. Take County Clare, for example. While the cliffs draw the crowds, the real magic is found when you linger: The Burren's unique landscape, where alpine, arctic, and tropical plants grow side by side Quiet moments just sitting in the landscape, rather than rushing through Small towns and local businesses that rarely make the brochures As Gráinne shared, sometimes the best travel moments come from simply staying put a little longer. Learn more about Flavour Trails in Gráinne's previous Traveling in Ireland podcast episode 282. A Taste of County Clare: Where to Eat, Stay, and Sip If you're planning to explore beyond the main attractions, County Clare is well worth your time. A Proper Irish Pub O'Loclainn's Bar in Ballyvaughan is a favorite, known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent whiskey selection. It's the kind of place where you settle in and stay awhile. Seafood Worth the Stop The Anchor Inn in Liscannor is a standout for fresh seafood. It's the kind of meal that reminds you just how close Ireland's food is to its source. A Relaxing Stay The Falls Hotel offers a comfortable base, with a spa that's earned high praise – perfect after a day of exploring. A Unique Stop in the Burren The Burren Perfumery offers something a bit different. Even in quieter seasons, visitors can stop in for a warm drink, explore handcrafted scents, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Looking for more County Clare advice? Click here! The Ireland You Haven't Experienced Yet What stands out most is how travel in Ireland is evolving. It's no longer just about checking off landmarks, it's about connection. Connection to: The land The food The people behind it all Whether it's a quick day trip or a carefully crafted multi-day journey, there are more ways than ever to experience Ireland in a meaningful, memorable way. And sometimes, the best plan is simply to slow down, stay a little longer, and see what unfolds.

Standing on Ireland's wild Atlantic edge is always unforgettable, but if you're planning to walk the Cliffs of Moher coastal trail, a few important updates will shape how you experience it. Cliffs of Moher viewed from the cliffs trail Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail Update: What's Open and What's Not The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre is fully open, and the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail is also open – but they are no longer directly connected. That's the key change travelers need to understand. You can still enjoy both experiences, but you cannot step from the Visitor Centre onto the long-distance cliff trail like you could in the past. Access points at the centre have been closed, even though the trail itself remains open. This article is based on podcast episode 335 featuring Ollie Gleeson, owner of Ollie's Tours, a Doolin-based provider of Cliffs of Moher tours and other adventures.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Cliffs Exhibition at the Cliffs of Moher What You Can Do at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre The Visitor Centre still offers: Easy access viewpoints Views from atop O'Brien's Tower A maintained walking area (roughly 500 meters each direction) Exhibits, facilities, and parking It's a great option if you want iconic views without a long hike – but it's not the full cliff walk experience. What's Happening with the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail The coastal trail from Doolin toward the cliffs remains open and is still one of the most rewarding walks in Ireland. However: The southern section beyond the Visitor Centre towards Hags Head is currently closed Trail improvements are in progress but limited by seasonal restrictions Repairs have already improved sections near Doolin, making parts of the walk easier and less muddy than before. How to Walk the Cliffs of Moher Trail Right Now If your goal is to actually hike the cliffs, you'll want to start in Doolin – not at the Visitor Centre. Start from Doolin for the Best Experience From Doolin, you can: Walk approximately 7 km (about 4 miles) toward the cliffs Enjoy uninterrupted coastal views along the way Reach areas just short of the Visitor Centre This route delivers the dramatic scenery most people expect when they picture the Cliffs of Moher. Use the Shuttle for a “Best of Both Worlds” Day From May through late summer (possibly into September), a free shuttle bus operates from Doolin to the Visitor Centre. A smart plan: Walk the cliff trail from Doolin Return to town for lunch Take the shuttle to the Visitor Centre for additional views This lets you experience both the rugged hike and the classic viewpoints in one day. Parking in Doolin You'll find several parking options: Paid parking on Fisher Street (near shops and pubs) Parking at Doolin Pier Limited parking at businesses like Hotel Doolin (for customers) Plan ahead and avoid leaving your car where it's not permitted for the day. Should You Walk with a Guide? You don't need a guide, but there are a few reasons you might want one. Ollie Gleeson with my tour group before our walk to Doolin (2023) Benefits of a Guided Walk Navigation and logistics are handled for you Safety support on uneven or exposed sections Local stories and history bring the landscape to life The trail can include narrow paths, uneven footing, and changing weather conditions, so having someone who knows the terrain can make a big difference. If You Go on Your Own Keep these tips in mind: Wear proper footwear (hiking boots recommended) Expect mud in places, especially after rain Stay well back from cliff edges Don't underestimate wind conditions Even on calmer days, the Atlantic weather can shift quickly. Weather on the Cliffs: What to Expect There's a saying in Ireland: there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. At the cliffs, that feels especially true. Conditions can include: Strong winds (sometimes strong enough to push sea spray upward) Sudden rain showers Bright sunshine Sometimes all in the same hour Dress in layers, bring waterproof gear, and be ready for anything. Including mud. Meet Your Guide: Ollie Gleeson Ollie Gleeson is a local guide from County Clare who leads daily tours along the Cliffs of Moher and to the Aran Islands. His offerings include: Guided cliff hikes from Doolin Aran Islands experiences, including Inisheer visits Bike tours and even proposal or vow renewal experiences His focus is simple: help visitors enjoy the landscape safely while sharing the stories that make the place memorable.

A Memorable Way to Experience the Cliffs Even with access changes, the Cliffs of Moher remain one of Ireland's most powerful landscapes. With a bit of planning – starting in Doolin, using the shuttle, and preparing for the weather – you can enjoy an incredible day along the edge of the Atlantic. And if the wind picks up while you're there? Just consider it part of the adventure.
