The Consummation of Praise Ryan Griffith Download I don't know about you, but I have always struggled with poetry. And by struggle I mean that I haven't particularly liked it. Most of the stuff I was introduced to in high school was the open-verse kind – no meter, no rhyme scheme. I'm sure if I was smarter or worked on it longer, I might find Whitman or Dickenson or Hughes illuminating. Perhaps I'm too simple, but for my lights good poetry is not mainly a puzzle to unlock. Let's try a relevant example for our sesquicentennial year. Maybe you know it.Listen my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Poetry is designed to be memorable and meaningful and to produce a certain kind of response.I love the ending:And so through the night went his cry of alarmTo every Middlesex village and farm,—A cry of defiance, and not of fear,A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,And a word that shall echo forevermore!For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,Through all our history, to the last,In the hour of darkness and peril and need,The people will waken and listen to hearThe hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,And the midnight message of Paul Revere.In April of 1860, Longfellow wrote Paul Revere's Ride as our nation stood on the precipice of Civil War. He wanted to remind a very divided country of an important story of courage and sacrifice from America's founding generation. And he longed to impact their affections — encouraging fellow abolitionists to take heart and to act with urgency and end the injustice of chattel slavery. That's what great poetry does: it captures a narrative in a memorable way — a way that communicates truth beautifully and awakens the reader's affections and actions. This is how Psalm 104 works. It is different than Psalm 8 (“you have set your glory above the heavens”) or Psalm 19 (“the heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork), because not only is Psalm 104 a poem with vivid, worship-evoking imagery, it is a poetic retelling of an important story: Genesis 1-3. It's literally a song—the Psalmist's cover of Moses's narrative account. And like Paul Revere's Ride, the retelling of God's work in Creation (vv2-30) communicates truth beautifully and awakens our affections and actions. It calls us (v1) to bless the Lord and (v31-35) fuels the consummation of that praise. Let's take this poem in those three steps. The call to praise (v1)The cause for praise (vv2-30)The consummation of praise (vv31-35)1. The Call to PraiseWhile the Hebrew text doesn't ascribe this Psalm to David, both the Greek translation of the Old Testament and the Dead Sea scrolls label this a Davidic Psalm. Especially because the Psalmist begins, as David did in 103, by calling on his soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.”David is telling himself, “slow down, shut off the music, put away the phone, and look – I mean really look.” This isn't just a looking with the eyes. As we heard, vv2-30 are full of vivid imagery – things that David certainly would have seen: lightning, storm clouds, the sea, the mountains; streams, birds, donkeys, and so on. But David is doing more than observing – he is lovingly turning over in his mind what he sees; pondering it; examining it in light of the story of creation. In verse 34 David calls this way of looking “meditation.”Verse 34, May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.We'll come back to this, but for the moment notice that the call to bless the Lord is grounded not only in what David sees but in who he sees by it. His meditation on God's work in Genesis 1-3 produces a delight that bubbles up at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the Psalm. 2. The CauseLet's turn to examine the cause for this delight. David goes back to Genesis 1 and 2 to give six reasons creation is a cause for blessing the Lord.Reason #1: God is great in the heavens (1b-4).Look at verses 1-4. Can you hear Genesis 1? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God of was hovering over the waters. And God said “let there be light.” And there was light (Gen 1.1-3).And so David proclaims, God is clothed with splendor and majesty, robed in light. He hangs the stars and the planets. He establishes the atmosphere. He stores up the rain and builds his throne above the earth. He is swift and mighty as the wind and he bridles the great thunderclouds. The greatest forces of the universe are under his sovereign control: “he lays, he makes, he rides.” Reason #1 for praise, God is great in the heavens.But not only is God great in the heavens, he is also…Reason #2 supreme over the earth (5-9).Look at vv. 5-9 while I read Genesis 1. Can you hear the creation account? And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.We tend to call the world around us “nature” as though it is self-existing. But David attributes supremacy over the planet to God alone. It is a supernatural creation. You covered the earth with the waters. You spoke and they fled. The mountains and valleys took the places you assigned. You drew a line for the waters and said: “they shall not pass.” Reason #2, God is supreme over the earth.God is also…Reason #3, the giver of life-sustaining waters (10-18).Here David's song does variation on a theme. In an arid land like Israel, water was scarce. But God took care of that. You make the water appear out of nowhere. Springs to sustain your birds and animals. Even the mountaintops you provide for – bringing rain to water them. You cause the grass to grow. You made good plants for man to cultivate – grain for bread, grapes for wine. You provide for the animals and you gladden the heart of man. Just as Genesis 2 says, God is the giver of life-sustaining waters.Reason #4 God is maker of time (19-23).“Night and day,” David says, “they were your idea” On the fourth day, you made the sun and the moon to govern them. You even appointed that the beasts stalk their prey (which you provide) at night so that man can labor by day. What didn't you think of? You are the maker of time.David can't even get through his meditation on creation without erupting into praise. Look at verse 24:“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.”The poet Gerard Manly Hopkins wrote, “the world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out like shining from shook foil.” Everywhere David looks, he sees God's beauty and excellence. It is as though he is saying, “Look at that! Isn't he amazing? Look at that! Isn't he majestic? Look at that! Isn't he wise! So David like a good songwriter, even puts in verse 24 as a bridge — pointing back at God's works in vv1-23 and pointing forward to God's creatures in vv25-30!Because…Reason #5 God is maker of the sea and its creatures (25-26).Even the Leviathan, which makes Job shiver in his boots, you made on Day Five so it could play in the sea. Since the waters are under your sovereign control, what once was a barrier is now a route for travel and trade. Isn't he something? God is the maker of the sea and its creatures.The whole account crescendos in the final reason David gives…Reason #6, God is creator and sustainer of all creatures (27-30).All these — the beasts and the birds, the plants and the trees, the whales and the wombat — they all look to you. You, God, are at the center of it all. When you give, when you open, when you hide, when you take away…all creation waits on you. You care for them. None escape your notice. Because you are the creator and sustainer of all things.So, David with Genesis in mind and the Spirit's poetic inspiration gives us six reasons creation should cause us to bless the Lord. God is great in the heavens, he is supreme over the earth, he is the giver of life-sustaining waters, he made and governs time, he oversees the oceans and its amazing creatures, and he is the creator and sustainer of all things. Creation displays his handiwork. All of it testifies to his power and divine nature. If we have eyes to see it, every blade of grass, every multi-colored sunset, every microscopic organism, every mighty beast, every mathematical equation shouts the glory of God. We inhabit a world “set on fire with praise.”No wonder David begins in v 1 by exclaiming: O YHWH, my God you are very great! In fact, the Hebrew might be better rendered – “you have become magnificent. You have clothed yourself with splendor and majesty.” Your works redound to your glory! Everything in the created order is a mirror reflecting back to God the wisdom and beauty and goodness that he is, himself. Lord, give us the eyes to see!So we've seen the call to praise (v1), David's six-fold cause for praise (vv1-30); now, thirdly, (vv31-35) the consummation of praise.3. The Consummation of Praise (31-35)All that David has considered now fuels his final refrain in verses 31-35:“May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!” (vv31-32)Notice two striking things about this verse. First, it is a plea. “May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord rejoice in his works.” David feels God's greatness so deeply that his prayers line up with God's design. “Yes, God. You are glorious, and so may your glory be seen! May your people delight in you and all that you are.”But notice that second prayer in verse 31. “May the Lord rejoice in his works.” Not “May your people, rejoice in your works,” but “may the Lord rejoice.” God delights in his works. We know this, because that's God's refrain in Genesis: “And God saw that it was good.” The earth and seas. Good! The plants and the trees. Good! The moon, sun, and stars. Good! The creepy crawlies and the fish and the birds and the sea creatures and the great beasts and the livestock. Yes, Good! Man and woman, in my own image. Very good! God rejoices in his work because it reflects him. It shows off his manifold excellencies. All of creation simultaneously every moment of every day since God spoke the universe into existence declares what is true — that God is the most admirable, beautiful, wise, good, generous, glorious being in the universe. And we were created to share in his joy.This God-centeredness of God might throw us off balance. Is it off-putting that God, through David in Psalm 104, commands his own praise? C.S. Lewis at first thought that it seemed no different than a vain woman craving compliments. But listen to what he concluded: “…the most obvious fact about praise – whether of God or anything – [had] strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise…The world rings with praise – lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game – praise of weather, wines, dishes, actors [and so on]….I had not noticed…that just as men spontaneously praise whatever they value, so they spontaneously urge us to join them in praising it: ‘isn't she lovely? Wasn't it glorious? Don't you think that magnificent?' The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about. My whole more general difficulty about the praise of God depended on my absurdly denying to us as regards the supremely valuable what we delight to do – what indeed we can't help doing – about everything else we value.”David praises what is supremely valuable. He does what we are made and delight to do. He rejoices in God being God. And sings about it!“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.” (vv33-34) But the singing must not stop with him. Look how he ends his song. “Bless the Lord O my soul. Praise the Lord!” (35b)David moves beyond calling his soul to bless the Lord to summoning all people to do the same. “Praise the Lord” is the first use of “hallelujah” in the Psalter. It is a you-plural not a you-singular. Northern English speakers don't have a category for this, but my eastern Kentucky relatives would say it right, “Praise the Lord, y'all. All y'all.” And that's because, as Lewis continues, calling others to praise God “doesn't merely express the enjoyment, it is its appointed consummation” — it brings praise to its fullest completion. David's joy is made complete by calling us to praise the Lord by us joining in that praise. That is what this Psalm is for. Like Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride, Psalm 104 captures an important story in a memorable way. It reminds us of something that really matters. But ultimately, it does something to us.Don Paterson says that when a poet writes a poem he's creating a little machine that when operated by a reader, recreates in them the experience the poem is trying to preserve. When we operate Psalm 104, it evokes our joy in God. It summons us to express that joy in praise and blessing. And it calls us to consummate that joy by sharing it with others. But neither David nor us can know this joy without addressing the most serious problem.Let sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no more! (v 35a)At first, I found this an odd thing for David to say in his great crescendo of praise. But he is reminding us that Genesis 3 comes after Genesis 1 and 2. Human beings were made to receive creation as a gift and enjoy and rejoice in what it tells us about the one for whom we were made. But we turned the gold into idols halfway to Canaan. We worship created things rather than the Creator. While creation shouts that we were made for joy in God, so often we say “that's nice” and go back to scrolling on our devices. David longs for a day when this outrage will finally be addressed. That sin that he sees traces of in verse 29. Paul tells us that even creation has been subjected to futility because of our rebellion. Things are not the way that they should be. The Lord's SupperAnd that is what brings us to the table. Because in the fullness of time, God himself came to address that rebellion. He entered into his own creation to free us from enslavement to inferior joys. To save us from the penalty our idolatry justly deserves. In mercy and kindness, to restore to us the fullness of his joy; His life for ours; our sin for his righteousness that we might be to praise of his glory. That is what we celebrate here. Maybe in this moment you can't bless the Lord because you haven't given up your idols; you haven't put all your hope in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin. Friend there is no better time than now. Jesus says to you, I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (Jn 6.35). Go to him.

Day Five of the trial heard from more eyewitnesses who gave accounts of the alleged attack, including a cyclist who hit the accused with a bike lock, and a man who knocked him to the ground with a punch to the face. A chef described sprinting across the road after seeing a child being stabbed, and a couple visiting Dublin that day described how an otherwise pleasant afternoon turned into anything but. Seven witnesses were called today, all of whom were cross-examined.

Day Five centered on Tracey Grist taking the stand in her own defense, where she denied planning the killing of Matthew Restelli and insisted prior comments about harming him were jokes, not serious intent. She told jurors she feared Matthew, claimed she did not instruct her son to shoot, and explained key prosecution points—like AirTags and her internet searches—as either related to the children or her interest in true crime. By the end of her testimony, the defense had reframed the case around her state of mind, arguing she was reacting to a volatile situation rather than orchestrating a planned ambush. Join our squad!

This episode explores the complex legal architecture behind uncompleted crimes, highlighting how law balances prevention with individual liberty. We unpack key concepts like solicitation, conspiracy, attempt, and the crucial merger doctrine — all vital for mastering criminal liability.Most crimes start with a thought—yet the law only fuels the fire once actions follow. This episode uncovers the hidden architecture of inchoate liability, revealing how legal systems choose who to punish before the harm even happens. If you're a law student, a criminal justice enthusiast, or just curious about how society prevents disasters at the earliest possible moment, this deep dive is essential listening.You'll discover the precise moment a legal line is crossed with concepts like solicitation, conspiracy, and attempt—and why each is treated differently by the law. We break down the specific intent needed for each stage, including how buying gloves or renting a van can unwittingly lock you into a conspiracy, even if you do nothing more afterward. Gain clarity on the infamous Pinkerton rule, which makes co-conspirators vicariously liable for foreseeable crimes committed in furtherance of their plan.You'll see how the law draws a boundary between mere preparation and punishable attempt, navigating the treacherous terrain of factual versus legal impossibility, and why changing your mind isn't always enough to escape liability. Plus, we explore the critical merger doctrine—how lesser charges like solicitation and attempt are absorbed once the main crime is complete, and why conspiracy often defies this rule, standing as a separate, more dangerous threat.In a world racing toward digital and autonomous crimes, understanding this architecture becomes even more vital. As technology blurs traditional lines, the challenge will be to apply these principles to algorithms, AI, and cyber threats—prompting society to ask: When does a dark thought become a catastrophe?Perfect for law students preparing for exams, criminal justice professionals, or anyone interested in the hidden mechanics of pre-crime liability, this episode arms you with the insights to navigate one of the most complex and consequential areas of law. Don't just understand the rules—see how they protect society, balance liberty, and sometimes, catch mistakes before they turn deadly.In this discussion:The foundational principles of inchoate liability and why society wants to intervene before harm occursThe detailed elements of solicitation and how specific intent and communication establish the crimeHow conspiracy transforms a solitary request into a dangerous team effort, including the significance of overt acts and Pinkerton liabilityThe rigorous standards for attempt, focusing on the substantial step and the strict mental state requirementsThe difference between factual and legal impossibility as defenses, and the narrow scope for voluntary abandonmentThe merger doctrine and why conspiracy charges usually do not merge with completed crimes, creating strategic advantages for prosecutors
This episode explores the core principles of strict liability, examining how the law assigns responsibility for inherently dangerous activities, defective products, and risky animals regardless of fault or negligence. Understanding this shift is crucial for grasping how legal policy adapts to societal needs and economic realities.Most companies inadvertently open themselves up to massive liability simply by engaging in risky activities—think handling hazardous chemicals or keeping wild animals—without realizing that certain hazards trigger strict liability from day one. In this compelling deep dive, we unravel how the law shifts the burden—charging the risk-taker for social costs regardless of fault. Whether it's a pet dog's bite, a factory's explosion, or a defective product, understanding this critical legal framework transforms how you see risk, responsibility, and safety in society.You'll discover how strict liability turns the traditional fault-based tort system on its head, focusing instead on societal policies that internalize external costs. We break down the three core pillars: animals, abnormally dangerous activities, and products liability—each a different lens for holding risky actors accountable. From the classic one-bite rule for domesticated dogs to the landmark 1868 English case of Rylans v. Fletcher, learn how history shaped today's tough standards for wild animals and hazardous enterprises. We explore the science behind why dangerous activities like blasting with dynamite or storing hazardous waste are inherently risky, and why no amount of precautions can fully mitigate the danger—making strict liability not just fair, but essential.This episode demystifies the key elements needed to succeed on exams—building a clear mental framework for analyzing whether a product was defectively manufactured, defectively designed, or failed to warn about hidden dangers. You'll see concrete examples like the Ford Pinto case, which exposes the deadly consequences of putting profit over safety, and understand how courts determine whether an activity is inherently ‘ultra-hazardous.' Plus, we unravel the nuances of nuisance law—how a noisy neighbor or a foul odor can violate your right to quiet enjoyment, and how courts balance social utility against individual harm.Perfect for law students, legal professionals, or anyone eager to see the bigger picture of risk and responsibility, this episode elevates your understanding of the laws that keep society safe. Whether it's a defective toy, a dangerous animal, or a covert environmental hazard, grasping the principles of strict liability empowers you to see risks from the perspective of both policy and justice. This is where law meets reality—more than just theory, it's a blueprint for holding the risky actors accountable in a complex, modern world.Why this works: This episode hooks with an urgent insight about how companies are often unaware that engaging in inherently dangerous activities leads to automatic liability, regardless of care. It appeals directly to listeners' desire to understand complex legal rules in a straightforward way, emphasizing concrete examples and frameworks that simplify exam success and practical understanding. The language balances approachability and authority, making it intensely valuable for anyone who wants to see the bigger picture of responsibility in society.Key Topics:The concept and rationale behind strict liability, emphasizing liability without fault.Classic cases and frameworks, including animals, abnormally dangerous activities, and products liability.The role of risk-shifting and societal policy in establishing liability for inherently hazardous actions.Detailed analysis of the three pillars of strict liability: animals, abnormally dangerous activities, and product defects.The categories of product defects—manufacturing, design, and information failures—and how courts assess them.Limitations on warning labels and the importance of

In this deep dive into evidence law, we explore how courts differentiate between trustworthy and unreliable out-of-court statements through rules, doctrines, and constitutional safeguards. If you're preparing for a law exam or practicing law, understanding these intricacies is essential for navigating or challenging hearsay evidence effectively.Hearsay is the Achilles' heel of the trial lawyer — but what if your most critical evidence is just a ghost? This episode unlocks the secret pathways of evidence law, revealing how courts breathe life into out-of-court statements that seem beyond reach. If you've ever wondered how some ghostly hearsay makes it into court and others don't, you'll discover the meticulous rules and psychological tricks behind the exceptions that save vital evidence. From the eerie tomb of Rule 804 to the trusted ghosts of Rule 803, we dissect the precise legal architecture that transforms unreliable whispers into admissible proof.We break down the most tested hearsay categories with surgical clarity: tomb exceptions requiring absolute unavailability—think dying declarations and statements against interest—unlocked only when the declarant is truly gone or sealed away. You'll understand the PRISM diagnostic to navigate privilege, refusal, incapacity, subpoena failure, and memory gaps, avoiding common traps on exam day. Then, we shift gears into ghost exceptions, where availability doesn't matter—spontaneous, routine statements like excited utterances and medical reports can come in even when the declarant is right in front of you.But the real game-changer is the confrontation clause — the constitutional firewall that can block otherwise reliable hearsay if it's testimonial and the witness isn't cross-examined. We explore the primary purpose test that separates live testimony from information designed for future prosecution, highlighting why even the most reliable-sounding audio or written evidence can be barred in the courtroom. With historic cases like Crawford v. Washington and Shepard, you'll see how the Sixth Amendment reigns supreme over evidence rules when it comes to protecting your client's rights.For trial strategists and law students alike, we deliver a step-by-step protocol—an unbreakable five-part algorithm—to diagnose, analyze, and challenge hearsay in any scenario. Whether navigating complex paper trails, confessions, or police reports, you'll develop the mental discipline to spot the traps and leverage the law's lifelines. Our final frontier? The future of evidence: how to authenticate objects and digital evidence in a world of AI forgery and digital manipulation.If mastering the rules that turn ghosts into credible witnesses and understanding the constitutional limits that safeguard fairness sound vital, this is your definitive guide. Prepare to see evidence law with fresh eyes—more precise, more strategic, and absolutely essential for winning in high-stakes litigation.Main insights include:The fundamental distinction between Rule 804 (Tomb exceptions) requiring unavailable declarants and Rule 803 (Ghost exceptions) which do not care about availability.The five-pronged PRISM diagnostic (Privilege, Refusal, Incapacity, Subpoena, Memory) to establish genuine unavailability under Rule 804.The specific requirements for core hearsay exceptions such as dying declarations, former testimony, statements against interest, and business records.The crucial difference between exemptions, which are not hearsay by rule, and exceptions, which admit hearsay due to reliability.The significance of the primary purpose test under Crawford v. Washington that distinguishes testimonial from non-testimonial statements, impacting their admissibility in criminal cases.The critical five-step hearsay diagnostic protocol to navigate complex evidence questions on exams and in court.The constitutional prominence of the Confrontation Clause, which overrides even valid hearsay exceptions when testimonial statements a

One of the greatest surprises of this journey wasn't the visions, the purging, or even the revelations; it was the people. In just four days, strangers became family. Not metaphorically. Literally. People from different countries, histories, and wounds trusted one another with their tears, their truths, their breakdowns, and their rebirths. This episode explores one of the most important distinctions of the entire experience: the environment is not secondary to the medicine—the people are the medicine. Arkana is not just a retreat center; it is a living ecosystem designed to make it safe enough to stop performing and start being real. When judgment evaporates, and egos are checked at the door, something ancient reawakens. Trust becomes the air you breathe. Authenticity becomes effortless. Healing accelerates. By the third and final night of Ayahuasca, the work had shifted. There was no war. No descent. No funerals. Grandmother wasn't teaching anymore; she was integrating. Confirming. Blessing. What once felt overwhelming now appeared as memory, perspective, and clarity. The darkness was never removed; it was revealed as temporary. And for the first time, it became clear that both the darkness and the light were never happening to me. They were moving through me. Day Five introduced San Pedro, Huachuma, the Medicine of the Heart. Where Ayahuasca turns you inward to meet your shadows, San Pedro moves you outward into connection, unity, empathy, and love. Under the guidance of Alcides, a man who doesn't just tell stories but transmits truth, the group experienced something rare and unmistakable: collective heart coherence. Not symbolic. Not poetic. Physically real. Fourteen nervous systems beating as one. This episode captures the final transmission of the Sacred Valley: connection isn't something you create, it's what remains when you remove the barriers. The heart has always been unified. It's the ego that divides it. San Pedro didn't give us anything new; it revealed what had always been there beneath the masks, defenses, and personas. As the fire burned low beneath the Andean sky, one final truth became clear: plant medicine isn't the point, it's the doorway. Nothing fixes you. Nothing completes you. These medicines remove what was never yours to carry and reveal who you've been all along. This is the ceremony after the ceremony.And this is where the journey home truly begins. Make Sense?

The Ruins, the Return, and the Realignment After two intense nights with Ayahuasca, Day Five brought a different kind of teacher: the Sacred Valley itself. In the ancient terraces of Pisac and the colossal stones of Ollantaytambo, I found a quiet wisdom that didn't speak in visions—but in presence, humility, and perspective. As I walked among mountain-carved ruins, burial sites, and engineering miracles we still can't explain, I began to understand my own “deaths” from the ceremonies as returns—returns to trust, patience, and truth. This unexpected excursion stirred a mix of sadness and gratitude as Thanksgiving approached and I felt the ache of being away from my family… while standing in the embrace of a new one. In this episode, I explore how ancient civilizations, unexpected emotions, and the right people at the right time can become medicine just as powerful as the plant itself—and how trust, not fear, becomes the compass for Night Three.

The Irish Midlands flow to the relentless rhythm of the River Shannon and along its banks the Irish Stew podcasters found themselves again, Day Five of their “Off the Beaten Craic in the Hidden Heartlands” wanderings, gazing across its broad expanse from the docks of the County Offaly town of Banagher.There, cohosts John Lee and Martin Nutty met local historian James Scully and caught up with an old friend of John's, Mark Boylan, who covers horseracing for The Irish Field, to explore the history, legend, music, and all that gives life and character to this small Shannon-side community with a population aspiring to hit the 2,000 mark.James met us at the cozy, convivial Flynn's Pub on Main Street, but the craic there proved too mighty for recording purposes, so the trio beat a retreat to the hilltop Church of St Paul's for what proved to be Irish Stew's first recording in a church (but not their last as you'll hear in the final Hidden Heartlands episode).A lifelong educator and noted local historian, James set about unraveling the history of the old Irish saying, “That Beats Banagher!,” in a book of the same name which he co-wrote with Kieran Keenaghan. In this richly illustrated volume they explore the murky provenance of “That Beats Banagher!” and how it entered Irish political and cultural lore. A beguiling spinner of the town's stories, James shares tales of the earliest days of the town, the arrival of the international man of mystery from the 1600s Matthew de Renzy, the town's unexpected literary links to Anthony Trollope and Charlotte Brontë, Banagher's vibrant community life, and its status as a popular port of call for the river cruising crowd.They started the day in a pub, absolved their sins in a church, and then retreated to a pub, J.J. Hough's Singing Pub, a renowned destination for trad music fans and tourists alike run by Ger Hough, who IrishCentral called the most creative publican in Ireland.There they met David and Mark Boylan who John got to know when the Breeders' Cup flew the whole Boylan family to Kentucky so the then 14-year-old Mark could sing his Breeders' Cup song before about 80 thousand fans at Churchill Downs for the 2011 World Championship race meet. Mark may be all grown up but he hasn't outgrown his love of horses and of his hometown of Banagher which shines through in the closing segment.And in such a small, tight-knit community it was no surprise to learn that James was Mark's teacher at St Rynagh's School.Well, that beats Banagher!Next week Irish Stew hits pause on their Off the Beaten Craic series to embrace the season of giving with the story of a New York City charity rooted in the plight of the impoverished Irish immigrants in the notorious Five Points district in our conversation with Sean Granahan, president of The Floating Hospital.LinksJames ScullyBook: That Beats Banagher!Mark BoylanThe Irish FieldXInstagramFacebookHidden Heartlands Travel ResourcesIreland.comDiscover Ireland's Hidden HeartlandsIrish Stew LinksWebsiteInstagramLinkedInEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 36; Total Episode Count: 139
