"Some folks thought The Wans were dead in the water. I like to think we were in hibernation,” says lead singer Simon Kerr of the Nashville based rock band, The Wans. Described as sounding “like The Stooges having a baby with Stone Temple Pilots” by Classic Rock Magazine, the group are welcoming their highly-anticipated fourth LP Magical Touch, which includes 11 songs that showcase a refreshing new approach that is sure to perk up your ears. Magical Touch will be released on July 26, 2023, which is exactly 11 years to the date of their first release.The Wans' new eleven-song LP, Magical Touch, was co-produced, recorded and mixed by Michael Fahey at Starbird Sound in Nashville using vintage recording equipment and recorded live with minimal overdubs. With two new additions to the band, Akshay Narang and Noah Denney, it was sure to add to the expansion of the sonic qualities. Noah Denney, formerly of Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown and who originally played bass in The Wans, now sits behind the drums. “The new sound is so exciting for me. We've known Akshay for over a decade and bonded over everything from Nine Inch Nails to Depeche Mode so it was only natural to ask him to play some synth and guitar with the band.”, says Kerr.The hard-touring Wans have been on the rise for a while now, playing major festivals like Austin City Limits, Voodoo Fest, Forecastle and Hangout Fest, and sharing bills with Pearl Jam, Beck, and Queens of the Stone Age. They recorded their 2014 album He Said She Said, with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Rival Sons), the acclaimed record landed them press at USA Today, NME, Consequence of Sound, The AV Club, and more. Not only that, the band's music has been featured everywhere from major motion picture Point Break and TV shows like Nashville, Longmire, and Necessary Roughness to a powerhouse commercial for BMW'S 4 Series Gran Coupe, which was soundtracked by the band's muscular riff rocker "Black Pony."“This record feels like my novella, a journey similar to Steinbecks ‘East of Eden'. It took 4 years to write and a week to record.” says Kerr. There's no doubt that The Wans wore their influences proudly on their sleeves, like Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana, but this record feels more precise and like nothing we've heard before from the band. There are certainly hints of 80's and 90's Brit-Pop influences, but the songwriting has become more focused and that's not an overthought.” Kerr continues, “My dad, Tony Kerr, has been my main songwriting partner since I was 16. Some Father-Son's bond over fishing, but we bond over writing songs. It's become effortless when we write together.”Bassist Thomas Bragg states, “Simon and I have been so excited with what's going on in the Irish/British music scene in the last few years. Bands like Idles and Fontaines D.C have made some of the best records of the last decade and I think that definitely had an effect on our music and this record.”The Wans' have always shared a brotherhood and love for making rock n' roll, which is much needed in today's overall climate and music scene. Lyrically, this record purposefully radiates self-awareness, love, and togetherness. “The Wans' are everything to me. When it comes to the song's they're all we have.” says Kerr. The great Joe Strummer once said, “People have got to stop pretending they're not in the world. It's time to take that humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Think on that. Without people you're nothing.”Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography   IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848

Guest artist RORY PILGRIM joins author and critic ELIZABETH FULLERTON to discuss his musically inspired, community-based art practice through the prism of 'The Bell' by Irish British writer and philosopher, Dame Jean Iris Murdoch. Published in 1958, this funny and sad novel explores religion, human frailty and who has the right to a voice, set within the confines of a lay community. Please be warned that in following the content of Murdoch's text, the programme contains references to sexual abuse and to suicide. Rory and Elizabeth's discussion also encompasses unheard voices, sunken voices, historical voices, awoken voices, shutting down voices, empathy, songwriting, drawing, poetry, kissing, dancing, stories, transformation, spiritual striving, moral dilemma, social practice, closet homosexuality, transformative moments, nuns getting naked and writing off people who are too complicated. They also delve into the toxic politics of speech, wrestling with faith, music as a first language, pathways of self destruction, the stress of being part of communities, suppression leading to the harm of others, the desire and courage to learn and to listen, experiences shaped by nuance and interconnections, and ways in which direct democracy can be built on consensus and intergenerational dialogue. And together, they question: how can you be completely yourself within a group, how can we imagine new forms of law through storytelling, and how can art play a civic role in transforming lives and developing networks of care.   Please support the production of this podcast via patreon.com/ARTFICTIONSPODCAST.

Join us as we pick up the conversation with Doug Devaney who interviewed us last fall on The Plastic Podcasts.A talented podcaster, Doug's also an actor, writer, journalist, and self-proclaimed "songster, funster, punster, hamster." In this episode we delve into the core concept of The Plastic Podcasts, which centers around the notion that “we all come from somewhere else.”Doug explores Irish diaspora narratives in England by engaging in lively discussions with actors, activists, artists, writers, academics, builders, and singers, while offering a platform to often overlooked people, including those with both African and Irish roots, as well as members of the Traveler community.We explore why Doug believes that discussing Irishness necessitates addressing Britishness, how Irish Americans differ from the Irish in England, and why they use terms like London Irish or Birmingham Irish instead of Irish English or Irish British.We delve into Doug's deep connection to his Irish identity despite growing up in England with an English mother, his County Clare roots, the instinctual bond among Irish people in England, the downplaying of Irish heritage in England during the 70s and 80s, his shift away from pursuing a career as a TV-inspired “verbose crime-busting lawyer” his ventures into playwriting, his commitment to preserving the stories of the Irish diaspora, and the backstories of his highly personal one-man plays.Doug's talent for captivating storytelling, inventive writing, free-spirited performance, engaging conversational style, and mastery of the comic aside, make him a savory new ingredient for our Irish Stew.But we never did find out about the hamster thing.LinksThe Plastic Podcasts WebsiteTwitterFacebookEpisodes:Irish Stew on The Plastic PodcastsAnthony Ekundayo LennonDoug's Social MediaTwitterInstagramFacebook

This week's episode is an honorable tribute to late acting legend Dame Angela Lansbury who passed away tranquilly last year at ninety six. Dame Angela Lansbury was an Irish-British and American actress, dancer and singer whose extraordinary career graced the silver screen, prime time television and the stage. Her career had humble beginnings as she took small roles in classic low budget movies after signing a contract with MGM. Her breakout role was in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). This catapulted her into stardom and gave her an opening to branch out into Broadway. From Mame to Gypsy to Sweeney Todd to the King and I, she commanded the stage with star power. But, she was far from done with Hollywood as she gravitated toward sweet, matronly roles in children's films. She gained much notoriety as the voice of Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast. Who can forget her magical antics in Bedknobs and Broomsticks? Anastasia, Nanny McPhee and Mary Poppins Returns are other family films she so beautifully acted in. Murder She Wrote, as we all know, was the television hit show that featured her as a widowed mystery writer who was also an amateur sleuth. Her impressive array of awards includes six Tony Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award, six Golden Globes, a Laurence Olivier Award, an Honorary Academy Award, eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards and a Grammy. Peter Shaw was her producer husband whom she was married to for over fifty years until his passing. They had two children whom she had to rescue from the Charles Manson Cult and drugs when they hit their teenaged years. So charitable and loving, she was very active in AIDS awareness and in helping struggling artists get their big break. Along with my trusted co-host, good friend and performing arts connoisseur Anthony Bonilla, I pay an homage to the legacy of one of the most beloved actresses of all time.

Years of being on the opposite side of difficult Brexit negotiations have unarguably damaged Irish-British relations. But how bad is the damage? To find out, this week's host Pat Leahy talks to former Irish ambassador to the UK Bobby McDonagh and our London editor Denis Staunton. They also discuss the latest developments in the standoff over the Northern Ireland protocol. But first it's Covid-19 and the rising tide of the fourth wave that is scaring governments across Europe. Pat gets the latest from Derek Scally in Berlin, where a newly-formed coalition must grapple with Germany's worst stage of the pandemic so far, and Jack Horgan-Jones in Dublin, where we're not ready to talk about new restrictions just yet.

Tyson Fury is an Irish/British boxing champ hailing from Manchester, England. Standing at 6 ft. 9, the fighter is certainly nobody to be messed with. Just ask his dozens of opponents who have knuckled-up with this giant in the ring. With a total of twenty-eight fights under his belt, the Gypsy King defeated Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, becoming a unified champion of the world. Fighting Deontay Wilder on December 1st, 2018, the match came to a draw, leaving fans wanting answers.The son of Irish Travellers, you can say that Tyson was born to be a fighter. A premature baby, his parents as well as doctors didn't think he would live. As a result of breathing complications, the family claims he nearly died twice. Tyson's father would sit with the newborn day and night talking to him, claiming that when he placed his hand on Tyson's small body, he could feel the life within him. He turned to the doctor and said he will make it. He also described watching baby Tyson laying on his back with his fists up high.

We’re thinking about Ireland again this week in an episode devoted to thinking about Free movement between Britain and Ireland and the long history of migration between the two countries. Ever wondered what the Common Travel Area actually is? Michaela talks to Professor Imelda Maher (https://people.ucd.ie/imelda.maher) about what it is (and isn’t), and what Brexit might mean for the future of this agreement. But what does this long relationship mean for migrations between to the two, lives, identities, and a sense of belonging? From her conversation with Professor Mary Gilmartin (https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/people/mary-gilmartin) about the lesser-known story of the second largest minority population in Ireland, British citizens to her conversation with Hannah, a dual Irish-British citizen, Michaela explores questions of citizenship, identity and belonging through the lens of the British-Irish relationship.

Todays guest is way smarter than Stu and nearly as smart as Chris (guess who did this write up?).Matthew joined the boys to impart some actual science and sense over the guesswork we typically see. Though Chris still tries his best to confuse matters with 'animals facts' he found from a 5 minute Google search and Stu's mind gets blown when he hears facts about the colour magenta.Mr Shribman is an Irish–British entrepreneur, science communicator, environmentalist and musician.

Our key film is the documentary "Older Than Ireland" about Irish citizens who are over 100 years old, and reflects on life and aging and how the country has changed over the course of the 20th century. We also cover the Irish film "Viva" set in Cuba about an aspiring Drag performer (which made the shortlist for the Best Foreign Language Oscar nomination), the Irish/British horror film "Sacrifice" about a dangerous cult on the Shetland Islands in Scotland, the gorgeous Bulgarian film "Viktoria" about a girl growing up in the twilight years of the Soviet Union, and the surreal Iranian dark comedy "Atomic Heart" about two women on a strange nighttime drive through Tehran. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

What nationality are you? I have dual nationality, and Irish isn’t my primary nationality. I’m not thinking Irish-British – but as a believer and follower of the Lord Jesus, I’m a citizen of heaven, which is my primary nationality. Paul writes in Phil 3:20 : “But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.” (Philippians 3:20, NLT ) We have an earthly citizenship, but we also have a heavenly citizenship, if we have trusted in Jesus for forgiveness and eternal salvation. In the Bible, the relationship between the two citizenships is contrasted between being part of God’s people, or being part of the rest of the world. This is shown at a natural level by being part of the people of God who lived in Jerusalem and its surrounding land, in the O.T., and being part of the Church in the N.T. The topic of Jerusalem should be of interest to us, because if you are a believer here today, you are a citizen of Jerusalem, according to the Bible. How is that? How can we be citizens of the City of God? The answer is that the walls of the city of God, Jerusalem, are described as, even represent, God’s protection for his people. The city’s glory is God’s glory – the city’s future is bound up with the wellbeing of God’s people. But as we have seen, Jerusalem was destroyed, the walls were in ruins, the temple was destroyed and the people were scattered. The glory of the earthly city had gone. Yet, Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the city, and bring glory back to God’s people. The second temple period, from the time of the rebuilding of the temple by Ezra/Nehemiah, was from this point on the time when there were no more O.T. prophets – it was a time of silence from God, the time in between the O.T. and the N.T. God would show later that this city was not his ultimate city, but a representation of the true city, the New Jerusalem, one which could never be destroyed, the true city of God, for the true people of God who would ultimately never disobey him. The true city of God, the New Jerusalem, is not for a people who will rebel against God like the Israelites did – instead it is for a people who will obey God, who follow him, who he has put his Spirit into so that they can follow his ways. What is the New Jerusalem? The New Jerusalem is a community, a people, a new people, a new humanity, beginning with the risen Jesus Christ. Referring to Isaiah 28:16 , Peter writes: “As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”” (1 Peter 2:6, NLT ) The New Jerusalem is the eternal dwelling place of God, and of his true followers, his people: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”” (Revelation 21:1–4, NLT ) In Revelation, there are two cities, the city of God, the New Jerusalem, and the city of sin, Babylon. The city of God, the New Jerusalem is where there will be eternal blessing, and the city of sin, represented by Babylon, is where there will be eternal punishment. The city of sin represents all that is wrong in this world – sin, suffering, pain, insecurity, hurt, evil, and so on. The city of God represents all that is right in this world now, and which will be fulfilled in the world to come – joy, peace, love, and so on. Which city do you live in today? The city of sin, or the city of God? Are you a citizen of the world of man, or a citizen of heaven? Have you believed in the Lord Jesus? Have you become a citizen of the kingdom of heaven, the New Jerusalem? Have you accepted God’s grace and mercy, and been forgiven for all your sins, and been given an open door to enter into his presence, by the new and living way of Jesus? Are you walking to the eternal city, the New Jerusalem, knowing that you will be granted entry? If so, praise God for his grace and mercy. If not, call on him now for forgiveness for your sins, in the name of Jesus Christ, and you will be given instant access to that eternal place, the presence of God, the glory to come.
