Podcasts about Ireland

We bring people together from around the world who are struggling to find somewhere affordable to live. We hear from Spain where the eviction of an 87-year-old woman has led to widespread protests, highlighting the country's housing crisis. Young people in Ireland, Nigeria and India share their experiences of the difficulties they face finding a home, and 26-year-old Adam in the UK tells us about moving back in with his parents. “It leaves you quite dreamless, you haven't really got anything you're working towards,” he explains.

Before the jack-o'-lantern was a grinning pumpkin on an American porch, it was something else entirely.A light over a bog.For centuries, people in Ireland and Britain told stories about strange flames that appeared in the darkness, drifting just far enough ahead to tempt travelers off the road. In Ireland, one explanation had a name: Jack.He tricked the Devil. He was rejected by Heaven. Hell wanted nothing to do with him. And according to the legend, Jack was condemned to wander the earth carrying a light until Judgment Day.But the familiar story of Stingy Jack, his carved turnip, and the Devil's burning coal isn't nearly as ancient—or as straightforward—as it's usually made out to be.From Irish bogs and grotesque turnip lanterns to American pumpkins and mysterious lights over the mountains of North Carolina, this is the strange history behind the face glowing on your front porch.Welcome to Day Three of 31 Days of Halloween.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. It was a stormy week politically in Ireland. It wasn't over an attempted terrorist attack like we had here in Israel this week. It wasn't over the rising cost of energy or immigration, like elsewhere in Europe. It was a soccer match against Israel. That was enough to dominate the country's headlines. How did Ireland become so focused on Israel, and so hostile to the Jewish state? Alan Shatter, a leading Jewish figure in the country and former justice and defense minister, says a pro-Palestine 'cult' has taken over the country's politics. The country has always had a checkered past with its Jews, he said. The Provisional IRA had deep ties with Palestinian terrorists, and their political movement Sinn Fein 'contaminated' Irish politics by putting the Palestinian cause front and center. That obsessive focus has spread from politics across Irish society, Shatter lamented, and now trade unions, teachers, artists, and athletes have significant pro-Palestinian movements. The angst over the soccer match against Israel a new "level of complete and utter absurdity," he said. Now, he said, many Jews are asking whether they have a future in the country in the face of daily abuse online and a toxic environment around Israel. "There's a deep problem here," Shatter said. "It's one the government refuses to recognize. It's one the government is contributing to." Lazar Focus is available on all podcast platforms.

Mike Sposa's U.S. Senior Amateur win is only part of the story. The real surprise is how a former pro who spent years grinding on tour found himself energized by amateur golf again, from the pressure of match play to the joy of competing without the weight of a paycheck. Ben and Mike unpack what changes—and what doesn't—when a lifelong tournament golfer steps back into elite amateur competition. Mike shares what he's learned about preparing faster, handling nerves differently, and using better self-talk under pressure. He also explains why the mental side matters more now than ever, and why the game can feel freer when it stops being a job.You'll also hear about the whirlwind after Baltimore, when a championship celebration turned into a sprint to JFK and a next-morning arrival in Ireland for the Walker Cup at Lahinch. Mike revisits the 1991 Walker Cup, the star power of Phil Mickelson and David Duval, the wild atmosphere at Portmarnock, and what it means to be part of a Walker Cup society that lasts a lifetime.Ben and Mike also break down how junior golf has changed from both sides of the equation. Mike, now Senior Manager of Junior Development and Developmental Tours at Callaway, explains what he looks for in elite juniors, how technology like TrackMan and GC Quad is reshaping training, why speed has become nonnegotiable, and where today's players still need more touch, creativity, and wind game. He also pulls back the curtain on what parents and players often misunderstand about equipment, brand relationships, and what companies actually look for beyond rankings and scorecards.Mike is the reigning U.S. Senior Amateur champion and a former PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour player who won in Boise in 1998. He now leads Callaway's junior development efforts, working at the intersection of equipment, player growth, and elite amateur golf.

The mood music around Leinster House this week is one of “nashing teeth” ahead of what's expected to be a difficult budget announcement on Tuesday.On today's podcast, Hugh speaks to our political correspondents Jack Horgan-Jones and Cormac McQuinn who describe a “cold hard reality” that may be to come as government ministers feel they may not get the money they were hoping for.And its understood Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers has been “frosty” with cabinet colleagues asking for more money for their departments.All this under the shadow of overrun budgets in education and health, and a failure to agree a public sector pay deal which threatens industrial action the likes of which we haven't seen for 17 years.We also ask how the row over an Orange Order parade permitted down the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road in Co. Armagh lays bare the political divisions which have been “frozen in time” since the Belfast Agreement in 1998.And we pay tribute to our esteemed colleague and parliamentary sketch writer Miriam Lord who retired this week.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week; A shift to the right in European politics; Mark Zuckerbergs cash gift to a GAA club in Waterford; and the fallout over Ireland's nations league clash against Israel.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Through his Press Up group, Paddy McKillen Jr built one of Ireland's biggest hospitality empires, employing thousands of people across dozens of venues. The son of billionaire property developer Paddy McKillen Sr, he appeared to be building a formidable legacy of his own. But last week, the High Court heard he had just €270 in a Revolut account, against liabilities of almost €28 million. So, how did it all unravel, and could he ever build again? Today on The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by the Irish Independent's Shane Phelan and John Burns to explore how Paddy McKillen Jr's business empire came apart, and what might come next.

15-year-olds across the OECD are now testing at levels last seen among 14-year-olds a decade ago, we've lost a full year of cognitive ability in ten years. One in five teenagers in the rich world would struggle to read their own phone bill. We dig into why: screens, AI shortcuts, the death of patient reading, and a "snowflake-isation" of education that's swapped hard exams for soft assessment. Ireland's own numbers aren't pretty either, with reading and maths both sliding since 2015. Is this really decline, or have we simply hit a natural ceiling on middle-class intelligence, meaning the real gains left are among poorer kids? Hosted on Acast.

In Bailick Park in Midleton, County Cork, nine immense stainless-steel feathers rise from the earth and curve toward the sky, forming an empty bowl. From a distance, they look almost weightless, like the remains of an immense bird. Up close, they are ribbed steel with riveted joints, casting a dark industrial sheen against their soft green surroundings. Their shape carries the invisible weight of famine, but also something more receptive and circular, like palms in open prayer.The sculpture is called Kindred Spirits. It honors the Choctaw Nation's gift to Ireland during the Great Famine of 1847. Only fifteen years after the Trail of Tears—when starvation, disease, and death plagued the Choctaw as they marched from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States—the tribal nation learned of the treatment of the Irish people under British colonial rule. They were themselves still impoverished, still living in the aftermath of trauma and devastation. Yet they gathered $170, roughly $5,000 today, and sent it across the Atlantic to feed families they would never meet.Kindred carries the old root of kin and kind. I'm reminded of the distinction between being kind, which is an expression of our feeling of belonging, and being nice—which derives from the root word nescius, meaning “ignorant” or “not knowing.” To be nice is to be polite no matter how we feel. But to be kind is to extend our relational and ethical imagination beyond those familiar to us: to recognize ourselves in lives we cannot see, in people whose language, history, and stories are not our own, yet whose tender aliveness is no less real than our own.In The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig coined the word sonder: “the profound realization that every random stranger you pass is living a life as vivid, complex, and real as your own.” I think of sonder as I move through airports and hotel lobbies, glimpsing faces illuminated by phones, people pulling suitcases through corridors. Everyone is carrying a world unseen: a diagnosis, a divorce, a child asleep at home, a hope they have yet to speak.I arrived in Ireland a few days before I was set to teach at Ballymaloe House. It was late September, and I had given myself the unusual permission of having nowhere I needed to be. I stayed in small inns and drove along stone-walled lanes, past fields bright with rain, lakes shagged with green moss, farmhouses with whitewashed walls. I sat in framed windows, holding porcelain cups of tea, and watched clouds and sunlight move gradually across the morning. With no schedule pressing against presence, I spent long stretches in strange conversation with myself about my desires and regrets, and my ancestry, and the land, and how I want to embody this life.One afternoon I drove to Lough Gur, where the Grange Stone Circle—the largest of its kind in Ireland—stands. The stones are enormous, weathered, low to the earth, arranged in a ring that has lasted for thousands of years. Archaeologists have surmised some things about the people who gathered here from remnants of beaker pots and animal bones, but they cannot say exactly how they prayed, what they feared, what they remembered, or how they ritualized the cross-quarter days, when sunlight angled through the dark. The stones don't explain themselves. But the circle's near-perfect shape and the discovery of a posthole in its center suggest it was measured from a central stake with a rope, the entranceway aligned with the sunset on the festival of Samhain in early November.I sat down in the grass and leaned my back against one of the circle's largest stones. The afternoon was calm, with no other visitors nearby. The lake rippled beyond the field. A bird called once. And I had the rare perception that whatever needed to happen could happen, that nothing in me had to be managed or made useful.To my surprise, I began to weep.Long ago, I learned how not to cry, and why. I am more inclined to be the person listening, comforting, finding the next practical step. But this grief—this ancient tenderness—asked nothing of me but to reverberate. It did not arrive with a question, a name, or even a reason. It was elemental, like weather; a movement whose only condition was presence and whose only message belonged to the humble ground on which I sat.Grief is one of devotion's most honest forms. It breaks the hardened surface, asking us to place ourselves on the soft earth, where we cannot manage its outcome or coax its meaning. I cried beside that stone for a time, my heart held by its weight. And when I finally stood, my body felt emptied and rearranged.After my previous visit to Ireland, I dreamed of spirals for weeks—of the spirals I had seen in the Neolithic carvings at Newgrange and in the springtime fiddle ferns, but also of a colossal, sweeping spiral of time. A spiral is what happens when a circle begins to climb, to move, to leave and return. We come back to old questions carrying new losses and gains, new resources, new capacities for understanding. We revisit familiar landscapes and find that they have changed, and so, too, have we.Our culture loves the spiral. We celebrate motion, growth, progress, expansion, becoming. We ask where we are going and what we have become. But the headlines have gone mad, and half the human world seems to be shaking itself loose from its axis. In our individualistic pursuits, we have too often let go of the rope that connects us to the people, places, creatures, rituals, sensibilities—and yes, griefs—that have given us all the conditions we have needed to survive.Carl Jung often quoted the Hermetic maxim: “God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”This season, I am less in the spiral's aspiration than in the circle's belonging. At the closing circle of our retreat at Ballymaloe, after a week of practice and connection, I named a simple fact: we do not know what the future holds. But instinct shows us that gathering is medicine. We must make room in our lives to be together—to nurture recognition and reconciliation, to make strangers into friends. Our hard edges give way, and our values restore themselves inside these wider fields of relationship: family, community, land, history, and the more-than-human world. We come full circle and remember our innate belonging. And when we do, new questions emerge. Not: What do I want from life? What can I extract from this brief and bewildering existence? But instead: What does life ask of me? How can I live within this belonging?Nothing in the garden is self-made. Each thing belongs to the same field of attention. The spiral carries us outward; it asks for the courage to become. But to live well is not to become more accomplished in our self-sufficiency. It is to become more conscious of—and more responsible for—the reciprocity of our lives. In the presence of all we cannot fix, the circle gathers us back, asking that in all our becoming, we do not leave one another behind.Upcoming Gatherings+ November 20-22, 2026: A Doorway Into Thanks: A Mary Oliver Retreat co-taught with Mary Oliver's official biographer, Lindsay Whalen, at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, MA.Free offerings for your practice+ Full-Length Yoga Practices+ 10-15 min Guided Meditations+ Music Alchemy This is a public episode.

Nicki, Group General Counsel at Reach, joins Scott Brown to share lessons from a career spent at the heart of media, publishing and broadcasting law.In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Nicki reflects on her role leading legal at Reach, the UK's largest newspaper publishing group, home to titles including The Daily Mirror, The Daily Express, The Daily Star, OK Magazine, regional titles, and publications across Ireland and the US. She discusses what it means to be “a newspaper lawyer through and through”, and how her career has taken her from private practice into broadcasting, global media, and ultimately into the Group GC role at Reach.Her first lesson is that the law is only interesting to other lawyers. For the business, law is a tool: a way of getting from A to B quickly, practically and with the least aggravation possible. Nicki explains why in-house lawyers need to avoid getting lost in the weeds and focus instead on translating legal complexity into clear, commercial guidance.Her second lesson is that it's all about the people. Whether handling litigation, negotiating contracts or advising internal stakeholders, success depends on understanding how people communicate, react and make decisions. Nicki shares why lawyers should be approachable, easy to talk to, and trusted before a problem becomes a crisis.Her final lesson is about being comfortable saying “leave that with me”. Stepping into the GC role meant learning quickly that nobody knows everything — and that guessing is far more dangerous than taking time to find the right answer. She also reflects on returning to work after a ten-year career break, encouraging others not to apologise for the time they've taken away from practice.This episode is brought to you in partnership with Wordsmith AI — the legal AI platform built specifically for in-house teams.Guest RecommendationsNetwork: Eagle ClubReturner support mentioned: Obelisk and the Law SocietyResources & Links Mentioned in This EpisodeRegister your interest in joining The Lodge In-house Legal Community: https://bit.ly/TheLodgebyHBHeriot Brown: https://heriotbrown.com/Wordsmith AI: https://www.wordsmith.ai/Legal Engineering Project Application form: https://wordsmith.fillout.com/legalengprojectListen to the PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/4 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/Connect with Heriot Brownhttps://heriotbrown.com/About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

What if the last piece of your cancer won't go away because it isn't physical at all?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Dana Flavin, a pharmacologist, toxicologist, biochemist and physician with 58 semesters of training behind her and more than 30 years of treating cancer patients around the world. Dana never set out to treat anyone. That changed in 1992, when friends in Ireland asked her to help a woman with advanced cervical cancer, no money and no insurance. Six months later the tumor was gone, and Dana has spent the decades since mapping how foods, nutrients, repurposed drugs and emotions each act on cancer biochemistry.She explains why a single-target drug so often stops working, and how shiitake and maitake mushrooms knock down the same immune-suppressing cells as cimetidine. She covers why a low-methionine, low-sugar, plant-based diet matters, and shares a stage 4 prostate cancer case where PSA dropped from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks. She also tells the story of a breast cancer patient whose last bit of tumor only cleared after she learned to love herself. If you or someone you love is fighting cancer, or working hard to keep it from coming back, this conversation gives you a lot to take to your care team.Key Takeaways:Why combination cancer therapy works when single-target drugs lead to resistance, from a colon cancer case with liver, lung and lymph metastasesHow shiitake and maitake mushrooms and cimetidine lower myeloid-derived suppressor cells so the immune system can recoverA plant-based, low-methionine, low-sugar diet for cancer, plus cherries, raspberries and organic foodOff-label drugs in a stage 4 prostate cancer case: PSA from 5,000 to 24.4 in 10 weeks with itraconazole, ivermectin, mebendazole and low dose naltrexoneEmotional healing, forgiveness and staying in remission, and why unresolved hurt can bring cancer backSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:CollMed (Dr. Dana Flavin's foundation and book donations) - https://collmed.org/ Consultations with Dr. Dana Flavin - https://collmed.org/consultations/ Answers to Cancers (Dr. Flavin's upcoming book) Dr. Joe Dispenza - https://drjoedispenza.com/ Biogeometry by Dr. Ibrahim Karim Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C.

Europe is turning up the pressure on Israel, but are Ireland and the Netherlands applying standards they wouldn't use anywhere else? Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum expose the contradictions and growing tensions behind Europe's increasingly hostile approach to the Jewish state. From Ireland's protests against Israel in international sports to Dutch restrictions on Israeli products, the two examine how relations have deteriorated, and why Israel may no longer be willing to simply absorb the criticism. They also dig into Europe's complicated history with the Jewish people and ask what's really driving this dramatic shift against Israel.

Peyton shares his takeaways of what he was expecting out of Ireland verses what God expected out of him.

Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Noemi Beres, Co-Founder of Podcast Connections and a master organizer who helps entrepreneurs land high-quality podcast interviews to build authority and grow their businesses. Growing up as an only child in a small town in Hungary, Noemi learned early on from her parents that hard work, persistence, and consistency are the real drivers of success. After starting her career in Denmark and Ireland, she made the bold leap into entrepreneurship in 2007 despite having no formal background in sales or marketing. When personal tragedy struck in 2019, followed by the loss of her business during the 2020 pandemic, Noemi chose to push forward, rebuilding her life and launching a thriving podcast booking agency from scratch. Throughout our conversation, Noemi shares why relationships must always come before results, how leaning into art helped her navigate profound grief, and why every leader needs a "just keep going" mindset. In This Episode, We Discuss Pivot Through Crisis with Unshakable Resilience When sudden loss or market disruptions threaten your livelihood, forward momentum becomes essential. Noemi opens up about losing her father, grandmother, and business in rapid succession during 2019 and 2020, and how choosing action over dwelling on the past allowed her to rise from the ashes. Prioritize Relationships Over Results True business growth happens when you lead with heart and generosity. As an active member of the Go-Giver community, Noemi explains how building genuine, trust-based connections creates far more meaningful impact than chasing quick transactions. Embrace Storytelling and Authentic Guesting Great podcasting relies on presence, vulnerability, and active listening. Noemi breaks down what makes an extraordinary podcast guest, highlighting how sharing real human stories creates a ripple effect that helps listeners feel seen, understood, and inspired. Build Your Life on Hard Work and Consistency Success is rarely an overnight phenomenon. Noemi reflects on how her parents instilled a strong work ethic in her from an early age, demonstrating that persistent effort and daily showing up ultimately unlock long-term achievements. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may shape our story, but they don't have to determine the ending. The moment we choose to keep moving forward despite fear, tragedy, or uncertainty is the moment we step back into our own power. With persistence, genuine kindness, and a commitment to serving others, we can rebuild from any setback, cultivate deep connections, and turn our greatest challenges into lasting impact. Carry This Forward Notice What story or past setback are you holding onto that might be keeping you from taking your next step forward? Reflect Where in your business or personal life can you shift your focus from seeking results to building genuine, heart-centered relationships? Act What is one small, consistent action you will take before tomorrow to keep moving toward your goals, regardless of current challenges?
