In this episode, Niall explores the question, "Does Our Government Hate The Irish Culture?" sparked by the controversy surrounding the SPHE schoolbook used in this year's curriculum. Critics argue that the book, which seemingly portrays traditional Irish families negatively, is part of a broader attempt to undermine Irish culture. The discussion highlights concerns from TDs, parents, and teachers who believe the curriculum paints a biased picture, favoring a global identity over traditional Irish values. The debate delves into whether this reflects a governmental push against Irish cultural pride.Some callers feel that the government is indeed turning its back on Irish culture. They argue that allowing such a depiction in educational materials suggests a disregard for what makes Ireland unique. The portrayal of Irish families as narrow-minded and intolerant, simply for enjoying traditional activities like GAA and Irish music, feels like an attack on national identity. They believe this is part of a broader agenda to dilute Irish culture and replace it with a more global, less distinctive identity. These callers insist that it's time to stand up for Irish traditions and demand respect and recognition.Niall wraps up by considering both sides of the debate, emphasizing the importance of balancing cultural pride with openness to diversity. He suggests that the conversation around the SPHE book is a reflection of deeper concerns about cultural preservation and the role of education in shaping national

In this podcast, Niall interviews Niamh Uí Bhriain about a controversial SPHE (Social, Personal, and Health Education) book being used in Irish schools. The conversation revolves around accusations that the book mocks traditional Irish culture, portraying an Irish family as backward, insular, and narrow-minded compared to more modern, diverse families depicted as progressive and inclusive. This portrayal has sparked outrage among parents, teachers, and politicians, with many calling for the book to be withdrawn.Niamh and Niall discuss how the book's representation of traditional Irish cultural elements, such as GAA, Irish music, and family businesses, is framed negatively, implying that these traditions are outdated and inferior. The book's narrative is accused of promoting critical race theory by suggesting that Irish culture is less valuable than more cosmopolitan and diverse lifestyles. Niamh notes that the book's controversial chapter is absent from the Irish-language version, which she finds indicative of a deliberate inconsistency.The podcast also touches on the inclusion of gender ideology in the SPHE curriculum, with both Niamh and Niall expressing concerns about teaching students that gender identity is fluid and not inherently tied to biological sex. They argue that this approach is confusing for children and lacks scientific grounding.Public reaction has been significant, with multiple senators and TDs supporting calls to remove the book from schools. Niamh mentions that many teachers are uncomfortable with the material and some have refused to teach it, highlighting a growing discontent within the educational community.Social media's role in bringing attention to this issue is also discussed, with Niall and Niamh emphasizing the importance of platforms like Twitter for free speech and for disseminating information that might otherwise be suppressed by mainstream media. They express concerns about potential government efforts to limit such platforms, which they believe are crucial for public discourse and accountability.This episode raises important questions about cultural representation in education, the role of political correctness, and the impact of these educational practices on national identity and cultural values in Ireland.

Seamus O'Malley is an associate professor at Yeshiva University. His first book was Making History New: Modernism and Historical Narrative (Oxford University Press, 2015). He has co-edited three volumes, one of essays on Ford Madox Ford and America (Rodopi, 2010), a research companion to Ford (Routledge, 2018) and a volume of essays on the cartoonists Julie Doucet and Gabrielle Bell (Mississippi, 2018). He is the chair of the Ford Madox Ford Society and co-chair of the Columbia University Seminar for Irish Studies. In this interview he discusses his new book, Irish Culture and "The People": Populism and Its Discontents (Oxford UP, 2022), a study of the rhetoric of populism and uses of the seemingly simple concept “The People” in Irish political and literary discourse. Irish Culture and ‘The People' argues that populism has been a shaping force in Irish literary culture. Populist moments and movements have compelled authors to reject established forms and invent new ones. Sometimes, as in the middle period of W.B. Yeats's work, populism forces a writer into impossible stances, spurring ever greater rhetorical and poetic creativity. At other times, as in the critiques of Anna Parnell or Myles na gCopaleen, authors penetrate the rhetoric fog of populist discourse and expose the hollowness of its claims. Yet in both politics and culture, populism can be a generative force.  Daniel O'Connell, and later the Land League, utilized populist discourse to advance Irish political freedom and expand rights. The most powerful works of Lady Gregory and Ernie O'Malley are their portraits of The People that borrows from the populist vocabulary. While we must be critical of populist discourse, we dismiss it at our loss. This study synthesizes existing scholarship on populism to explore how Irish texts have evoked "The People"--a crucial rhetorical move for populist discourse--and how some writers have critiqued, adopted, and adapted the languages of Irish populisms.

Patricia Martin, a 1998 graduate of the Hoffman Process, has spent 30 years studying people and ideas that change the culture. She is the podcast host of Jung in the World. and is at the forefront of curating ideas of technology, culture, and humanity. Listen in as Patricia and Liz converse about the Hoffman Process, the healing that happens when we bend toward the Light, and how resiliency is the medicine for our chaotic times. Patricia came to the Process because she saw, firsthand, how a friend had changed by doing the Process. She saw her friend's radiance and wanted to "have what she was having." She says she arrived at the Process "on her knees." Using a metaphor of growth and photosynthesis, Patricia speaks eloquently of the nature of the Process and the Light. When enough patterns, stories, beliefs, and identities are transformed, the true nature of who we are can find the Light again. What Patricia recalls was the most healing during her Process was finally being able to grieve the death of her father who died when she was 10. Her mother became very depressed and Patricia became a parentified child - expected to take on parental duties at too young an age. As someone who has studied ideas that change the culture for decades, Patricia notes the chaotic nature of these times. She says that we are going through "the death of meaning" right now. This is what happens right before a renaissance - or re-birth - takes place. Patricia suggests that we can navigate these times with more serenity if we clear away the debris from our inner world.

Born in the 5th century, St. Brigid's journey is shrouded in myth and legend, yet her impact on Irish culture and spirituality remains profound to this day. Our exploration begins with the early years of Brigid, born into a pagan family but destined for greatness in the Christian faith. We uncover the miraculous stories surrounding her birth, where flames illuminated her presence, symbolizing her future as a beacon of light and hope. As we navigate through her remarkable life, we discover Brigid's unwavering commitment to serving others, which led her to establish monastic communities that provided refuge, education, and healing to countless souls. Her compassion knew no bounds, as she tirelessly worked to alleviate the suffering of the poor and marginalized. But perhaps most striking is St. Brigid's embodiment of feminine empowerment in a predominantly patriarchal society. As one of Ireland's patron saints, she challenged societal norms and advocated for women's rights, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of Irish Christianity.   Follow us on IG: @homance_chronicles Connect with us: linktr.ee/homance Send us a Hoe of History request: homancepodcast@gmail.com

While Ireland's rolling green hills are lovely to look at, they reflect a country whose landscape has been dramatically changed over many years. You may not even know that Ireland is the most deforested country in Europe. But what is Ireland's “natural” landscape, and what does that even mean? For this week's show, we spoke with Matt Smith, the manager of Hometree, a dynamic organization based in Ennistymon, County Clare, dedicated to planting more native trees into the Irish landscape. Hometree is not your average reforestation program, however! Built on a solid foundation of environmental science, they eschew carbon credit schemes, and their work incorporates community involvement, education & outreach—and even a healthy dose of Irish culture.In this conversation with Matt, we discuss the need for speed in our cultural shift towards thoughtful tree-planting schemes; the concept of rewilding as applied to the landscape; how Hometree has grown from a community garden project to the force of nature it is today; and the role that hope can play in the face of the unfolding climate crisis.Dyed Green is a project of Bog & Thunder, whose mission is to highlight the best of Irish food and culture, through food tours, events, and media.

In this episode, Paddy takes a look at some once-common practices and norms that existed in Ireland, but no longer do. From wearing a dead relative's clothes to their funeral to women being refused the right to buy a pint in a pub.Featuring original music from Belfasts FVRY

In this episode, Paddy discusses Blue movies and Yellow books, one used to describe pornography in the West and the other to describe it in Asia. He tells tales of how in order to acquire a blue movie or fireworks in rural Ireland back in the day he'd have to venture to a car auction in a horse riding centre and do deals with Irish Gypsies.Featuring original music from Danish/Taiwanese artist: Broken Bench

On this episode of Navigating New York, I got to visit the world renowned Dead Rabbit Pub in Lower Manhattan to chat with Managing Director and Co-founder, Jack McGarry. This episode is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever had the pleasure of hosting. I chat to Jack about his story; from being a glass collector in his local family pub in Belfast at age 15, to being awarded world's best bartender in his early 20's in New York, to where he is now – a dynamic, influential entrepreneur on a mission to redefine the Irish Hospitality experience and promote the ‘Ireland of today' on a global scale. Jack speaks with rigorous honesty about his journey – the good parts and the bad. He shares some valuable advice on what it takes to be successful in running and scaling a business (Jack was recently named in Crain's New York Business 2023 class of 40 Under 40)  as well as his own methods for constant self-development and evolvement.Jack is making a major contribution to Irish Culture in New York and his mission to challenge the stereotypes and synthetic representations of Ireland across America is one that is consistently building momentum and recognition. On top of being extremely inspiring, Jack is also one of the humblest people I have ever come across. It was a real pleasure to get to sit in the Dead Rabbit and chat with Belfast's own, Jack McGarry.  Kindly sponosred by Irish owned, Therapie Clinic.
