Podcasts about Cork

The Bible makes sense in its deepest and richest capacity only when we read it through Jesus shaped goggles. When we see all of it through the lens of its Main Character – it should cause us to preach explicitly Christian sermons.Mike Neglia (with some help from Pilgrim Benham) explains, shows and tells how to preach Gospel centered sermons that proclaim the gospel from every passage at our in-person training event in St Petersburg, Florida. After graduating Bible college in Siegen, Germany in the summer of 2002, Mike flew to London, then hitchhiked across the UK and over to Ireland and finished up in the city of Cork. He helped out with Calvary Chapel Cork for a few weeks of summer outreaches and intended on leaving, but the pastor asked him to stay on “for a little bit longer.” He stayed in Cork as a full-time missionary youth outreach coordinator/assistant for more than two years. In 2005 the pastor felt called by the Lord to go elsewhere (New Zealand) and asked if Mike and Rachel would consider staying on and taking over the church. His first Sunday morning was October 18, 2005, preaching to a congregation of four people. Recommended Episodes:Is it a stretch to say that everything in the Bible points to Jesus? –https://anchor.fm/theologyforthepeople/episodes/Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—Part-1-Is-it-a-stretch-to-say-that-everything-in-the-Bible-points-to-Jesus—-with-Mike-Neglia-e17q0sdResponding to Objections to Christ-Centered Hermeneutics: https://anchor.fm/theologyforthepeople/episodes/Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—Part-2-Responding-to-Objections-to-Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—with-Mike-Neglia-e18563kFrom Punk to Pastor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCRutGpHvT8 The Preacher as Historian Linguist and Mystic: https://www.expositorscollective.com/podcast/2019/2/26/episode-36-the-preacher-as-historian-linguist-and-mysticConnect:For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

The formula is simple. Step one, read great Irish literature. Step two, write killer songs. It's worked pretty well for Euan Manning of Cardinals so far. The Irish songwriter for the Cork-based band rattles off writers who have influenced him, and my god does he have impeccable taste: Flann O'Brien, Martin McDonagh, Kevin Barry, among others. As I always say, a clear through line travels from reading great writing to writing great words. The debut album by Cardinals is Masquerade.

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers a wide-open early summer bite across the Alabama Gulf Coast, from trout and redfish in the Mississippi Sound to surf fishing around Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, plus a strong red snapper opener nearshore. Butch Thierry is joined in studio by Capt. Branden Collier of Capt. Collier's Charters, who helps co-host the episode and later breaks down a hot red snapper bite, Calcutta pole snapper fishing, early triple tail signs, flounder on rocks and flooded grass, and quality speckled trout around mullet and grass flats. Capt. Shane Traylor of Bona Fide Inshore checks in with a report from his new 224 Blackjack, explaining how popping corks, live shrimp, Vudu shrimp, wind-blown banks, slicks, and shallow structure have been producing trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder in the Sound and Mobile Bay. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle brings the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores report, covering surf trout, redfish, Gulf flounder, ladyfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, grass issues, rough-water tactics, weedless plastics, twitch baits, fly fishing, and wake baits over shallow grass. It's a strong episode for anglers trying to make sense of early summer conditions, fish through wind and grass, and pick the right tactic whether they're wading, fishing the surf, working the flats, or running just offshore for snapper.

In This Episode: Candles, Cork & Linen | The Insomnia ProjectAmanda and Marco are back with another slow, wandering conversation — the kind that asks nothing of you and gives your mind just enough to follow without holding on. This week, they drift through the quiet textures of everyday life: pickled wood, the soft weight of linen, the springy underfoot feeling of cork, and the amber glow of a handmade candle. It's the kind of sleep podcast episode that feels like sitting in a warm room with nowhere to be.How this one meandersIt starts with Marco's recent project pickling wood — a technique that keeps coming up on the show, and for good reason. From there, the conversation finds its way to linen: the fabric, the feel, the way it shows up in clothes and bedding and slow living. Cork enters next — floors, stoppers, the material itself — and Amanda and Marco give you their honest take on whether they're actually fans. The episode closes with candles, including Amanda's low-key satisfying project of melting down candle remnants to make something new.The kind of show that's made for winding down. Whether you're lying in the dark or just trying to quiet a busy mind, this one has you covered.What we talk aboutMarco's pickling wood technique and why this topic keeps finding its way back to the showLinen as a material — clothing, bedding, and the particular texture that makes it a slow-living stapleCork floors and cork in general — do Amanda and Marco actually like it? (They'll tell you)The sensory appeal of candles and why they work so well as a wind-down ritualAmanda's candle-making project using leftover wax remnants — low effort, oddly satisfyingThis episode is perfect forAnyone who can't sleep and needs something gentle and unhurried to followPeople who love slow living content and material texturesLinen enthusiasts, cork-curious decorators, or anyone rethinking their home materialsOverthinkers and people with racing thoughts who need a soft landingCandle lovers and anyone who enjoys a good DIY-without-pressure storyThe Insomnia Project is a sleep podcast for people who lie awake at night. Hosts Amanda and Marco have quiet, unhurried conversations about everyday things — no plot twists, no tension, no agenda. Just the kind of talk that helps your body remember it's allowed to rest.

We discuss the emotional energy connected to places of learning, the residual weight history can leave behind, and why Ireland's haunted locations feel deeply tied to the human experience itself.From reported paranormal activity to Irish folklore and a little paranormal payback among friends, this episode has a little bit of everything.The closer we get to the end of the Secrets of Ireland journey… the stranger things become.Support the showFind us at: gxparanormal.comWatch On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@generationxparanormal Listen:  • Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/generation-x-paranormal/id1661845577?i=1000666351352 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6zQmLQ0F78h8KRuVylps2v?si=79af02a218444d1fFollow us on Social Media: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GenXParanormal  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/generationxparanormal/  • Twitter (X): https://x.com/GXParanormal

Ireland has long been recognised as a place where global technology meets local ingenuity. From ambitious start-ups in Dublin and Cork to research-led projects emerging from universities and innovation hubs, the country's technology sector is no longer defined only by multinational investment. Increasingly, it is shaped by entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and social innovators who want to build tools that solve real problems. The next stage of Ireland's digital journey will not be measured simply by the number of apps launched or platforms scaled. It will be judged by whether technology can become more trustworthy, sustainable and useful in everyday life. Artificial intelligence, cyber security, clean technology, digital health and responsible data governance are now central to that conversation. Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses operate, how public services are delivered and how people interact with information. Yet the rapid rise of AI has also created urgent questions around transparency, bias, regulation and control. For Ireland, this presents both an opportunity and a responsibility. Irish researchers and founders are well placed to help shape AI systems that are not only powerful, but also accountable. Rather than chasing automation for its own sake, the most valuable AI companies of the coming decade will be those that improve decision-making while keeping humans firmly in the loop. Whether in healthcare diagnostics, legal technology, agriculture, education or financial services, the strongest products will be built on trust. Climate change has made sustainability a business necessity rather than a marketing preference. This is where Ireland's green tech and clean tech communities can play a major role. Smart energy management, circular economy platforms, low-carbon manufacturing, precision agriculture and climate data tools all offer ways to reduce waste while creating commercial value. For small and medium-sized enterprises, sustainability is often a practical challenge. They need affordable tools that help them monitor energy use, manage supply chains, reduce emissions and report progress clearly. Even routine office choices, from cloud infrastructure to printing supplies such as Brother ink cartridges, can become part of a wider conversation about responsible procurement and waste reduction. The companies that succeed will be those that make sustainability easier, measurable and economically sensible. Ireland's technology ecosystem benefits from a rare combination of academic strength, entrepreneurial energy and international connectivity. However, innovation does not happen in isolation. Start-ups need access to funding, mentors, test environments, skilled graduates and early customers. Larger companies need fresh thinking and agility. Public bodies need practical solutions that can scale. Collaboration between these groups will be essential. A medtech founder may need AI expertise from a university lab. A cyber security company may need support from an enterprise agency to reach European markets. A green tech start-up may need pilot partnerships with local councils or established manufacturers. When these connections work well, Ireland can turn good ideas into globally relevant companies. The most exciting future for Irish technology is not purely digital; it is human-centred. The aim should be to create systems that improve health, protect privacy, reduce environmental harm and support better work. That means designing products with accessibility in mind, communicating clearly with users and thinking carefully about unintended consequences. As AI becomes more capable and connected devices become more common, public confidence will matter more than ever. People will not adopt technology simply because it is new. They will adopt it when it is reliable, ethical and genuinely helpful. Ireland's next digital leap will depend on more than technical talent. It will require responsible leaders...

Bay Broadcasting has announced the "imminent" rollout of three of its radio stations to DAB, making them available to an estimated 85% of the population.Radio Nova, Classic Hits Radio and Sunshine 106.8 will broadcast on the Failte DAB Mux2 trial, which will reach most of the country outside the Dublin when launched.Bay claims the move marks a new era of national scale and audience growth for the group and describes the launch of the three radio services on national DAB as the most exciting development for radio choice in over a decade.It believes the move will significantly increase its reach, with Nova and Sunshine expected to add 2.5m potential listeners and Classic Hits a further 1.2m people.Bay Broadcasting said the rollout gives the group the potential to challenge Bauer Media's monopoly on national radio commercial radio in Ireland. To find out more about this I spoke to Kevin Brannigan the CEO of Bay Broadcasting.

Nehemiah was an ordinary man with an extraordinary burden. When he heard that Jerusalem's walls were broken down, he didn't rush into action. He wept, fasted, prayed, waited, and trusted God to open the right door at the right time.In Nehemiah 2, we see how God strengthens faith in the waiting, forges faith through prayer, and activates faith through obedience. Nehemiah's burden became conviction, his conviction became action, and his action invited others into the work God was doing.This message challenges us to ask: What is keeping us from being used by God? Too often, our excuses override our obedience. But God still uses ordinary people who are willing to pray, trust, act, sacrifice, and step into His mission.

This episode is another Best of Cork Talk episode featuring Grassy Creek Vineyard and Winery in State Road, NC! When we first sat down with Jim and Cynthia Douthit (episode: Growing for Future Generations), it was during the height of COVID and the conversation was recorded remotely. Even then, their dedication to farming, commitment to quality winemaking, and deep connection to the Yadkin Valley and North Carolina Wine community were clear as they shared the story of building Grassy Creek from the ground up. In this updated episode, we reconnect to hear how much has changed over the past several years. Jim and Cynthia walk us through the evolution of the winery as they celebrate 20 years since opening their tasting room, including new leadership in winemaking, ongoing vineyard replanting efforts, and an expanded lineup of wines. We also explore how Grassy Creek continues to enhance the visitor experience with events, trails, and outdoor spaces that reflect its identity as a welcoming, family-friendly farm winery. If you like this episode, please leave us a rating and review. It really helps spread the word. Subscribing and sharing with a friend is another great way to support Cork Talk.

Lundi dernier (18 mai 2026), un nouveau drame a fait 6 morts. Les fusillades dans des établissements scolaires mi-avril avaient déjà provoqué un choc dans la société. Mais le nombre d'armes dans le pays est estimé à 30 millions, soit une arme pour trois habitants, et la restriction de leur circulation reste un défi. Également dans cette émission, les projets d'urbanisme écologique de la ville de Cork en Irlande et la réunion controversée des Sudètes en Tchéquie, le week-end prochain.  Le fléau des armes à feu En Turquie, le nombre d'armes à feu en circulation est estimé à 30 millions, ce qui représente une arme pour trois habitants. Il y a deux jours, un homme a tué six personnes dans le sud du pays. Mi-avril 2026, deux attaques avaient eu lieu dans des établissements scolaires. L'une a fait 16 blessés ; l'autre, à Kahramanmaras, s'est soldée par la mort de 10 personnes : 1 enseignante, 8 élèves et l'assaillant lui-même, âgé de 14 ans seulement. L'émotion a été très forte, et les autorités promettent donc de restreindre l'accès aux armes, mais pour y parvenir, le chemin est encore long. Reportage à Ankara, Céline Pierre Magnani. Les réseaux mafieux trouvent aussi des recrues de plus en plus jeunes dans différents pays de l'Union européenne, où les armes en circulation illégale proviennent souvent de Serbie et des pays voisins. Un trafic documenté depuis des décennies, qui se poursuit, en France, en Belgique ou encore en Suède. Les autorités des pays des Balkans promettent d'agir, mais là non plus ça ne va pas vite. Les précisions de Simon Rico.   Réunion controversée des Sudètes à Brno, en Tchéquie Pour la première fois depuis la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, le rassemblement des Allemands des Sudètes doit avoir lieu en Tchéquie. L'événement, hautement symbolique - et déjà très controversé - est attendu à partir de vendredi à Brno, la deuxième ville du pays. Pour l'association des descendants des Sudètes, ces germanophones expulsés de Tchécoslovaquie après 1945, la rencontre est un geste de réconciliation européenne, mais des responsables politiques tchèques dénoncent à l'inverse une provocation historique. Les explications à Prague d'Alexis Rosenzweig.   La chronique musique de Vincent Théval I'm Kingfisher Winter of '85/'86  (Suède).   Peut-on concilier urbanisme galopant et adaptation au changement climatique ?  En Irlande, la ville de Cork en fait le pari. Il y a deux ans, la deuxième ville du pays a lancé la restructuration des anciens docks de la zone portuaire. C'est l'un des plus grands projets urbains d'Irlande. 147 hectares de centre-ville, autour de la rivière Lee, vont devenir un nouveau quartier qui comprendra de grands espaces verts, 10.000 nouveaux logements desservis par des moyens de transport durables. 25.000 emplois devraient voir le jour une fois les travaux terminés. Un chantier titanesque de 353 millions d'euros qui promet d'intégrer les contraintes climatiques. Reportage d'Agnieska Kumor.

40% of domestic septic tanks in Clare failed inspection last year, putting drinking water, wells and rivers at risk. The latest report from the Environmental Protection Agency shows 97 inspections were completed in this county in 2025, with 80% of those fixed at the end of the year. Only five other counties, namely Limerick City, Donegal, Cork, Galway and Wexford had higher failure rates last year. The EPA has found that between 2013 and 2025, 316 systems were deemed to have failed in this county. To discuss this further, Daragh Dolan was joined by the EPA Inspector, Lorcan Farrell.

In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina explores one of the most fascinating topics in wine education: aged wine. This is a deep dive into how wine changes over time, designed for anyone who wants to learn about wine, understand classic wine regions, and build confidence in tasting and evaluating wine. Joined by award-winning wine writer and educator Kelli White, this wine podcast episode unpacks what really happens inside a bottle as it ages - from tannins and acidity to sediment, closures, and storage conditions. Together, they explore how and why certain wine grapes and wines from regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Napa Valley, and Barolo develop complexity and character with age, while others lose their structure. Along the way, they also discuss wine travel experiences, the emotional side of opening mature bottles, and what it really means to build a wine collection — whether you are just starting out or already passionate about aged wines. Whether you're looking to learn about wine more deeply, explore iconic wine regions, or simply understand what makes aged wine so special, this episode brings together science, storytelling, and the romance of wine in one place.     02:31 – The first bottle that made Kelli White realise wine could be something profound. 03:46 – The first truly old wine Kelli tasted — an unforgettable Burgundy experience during harvest in France. 05:19 – Ceremony, emotion and memory — how older wines become part of life experiences. 06:57 – What's currently in Kelli's cellar — older Napa Valley wines, including a rare Charbono from Inglenook. 08:22 – Saving wines for special occasions — Burgundy, patience and deciding when to open a bottle. 09:08 – When does a wine become truly complex? Understanding the transition from youthful fruit to mature character in wines from regions like Bordeaux, Burgundy and Barolo. 10:48 – What actually happens inside a bottle over time — tannins, aromas, colour, acidity, classic wine grapes and texture explained.  19:23 – Why wine aging is unpredictable — evolving components, plateaus and misconceptions about “peak drinking windows.” 24:04 – What really helps wine age? Acidity, tannin, balance, craftsmanship and the role of wine storage. 26:11 – Ideal wine storage conditions — temperature, humidity, darkness and why consistency matters. 28:51 – Wine aging experiments — underwater cellaring, wines sent into space and a past wine podcast episode featuring Jane Anson. 29:32 – Common wine storage mistakes — kitchen heat, air conditioning units and sunlight exposure. 32:32 – Cork vs screw cap — closures, oxygen transfer and how modern wine technology is evolving. 34:39 – Hill of Grace by Henschke — one of Australia's iconic fine wines proving premium wines can age under screw cap. 35:08 – Sediment explained — tannins, tartrate crystals, lees and why older wines develop deposits. 38:13 – How to train your palate for aged wine — practical ways to explore mature wines and discover your preferences. 42:46 – Decanting old wine — when oxygen helps and when it can completely destroy a fragile bottle. 45:26 – Janina's experience opening a 1940s Château Troplong Mondot Bordeaux during restaurant service. 47:48 – Advice for anyone building a wine collection — curiosity, experimentation and keeping an open mind about wine styles. 48:28 – Unexpected wines that age beautifully — including rosés from López de Heredia, Clos Cibonne and Domaine Tempier. 50:32 – Kelli White's book Wine Confident and Janina's listener discount code EATSLEEP15 for Academie du Vin Library.

He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area's producers grew, soon Adam's interviews covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.  Here, We Taste It.

Sickness has hit I'm Grand Mam towers this week, after a run of Irish tour dates and a busy period for the lads. Kevin is gearing up for this birthday, and the boys are addressing the allegations that their Cork accents are all for show; you got them, gals!The theme for this week is intelligence. As the old adage goes, you can't judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, so Kevin and PJ are unpacking what it means to be clever. They talk through the different types of intelligence, how street smarts are just as valuable as Leaving Cert results and how being funny is the smartest thing you can be.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here

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.
