Last week, a buoy was found on Inch beach. It was once the lifebuoy for a vessel called the Jo-Dan. The Jo-Dan was owned by Mally Toms, a well-known fisherman, angler and businessman in Cornwall, who died four years ago. The discovery of the lifebuoy set in motion a series of fortuitous connections. Jerry spoke to Mally’s grandson, Joe Toms who lives in Guernsey, and to Saoirse and Morgan Lyne from Kells, who are deeply involved in efforts to unite Joe with his grandad’s lifebuoy.

Sorj Chalandon è uno degli scrittori francesi contemporanei più sensibili alle ferite della storia, autore di una dozzina di romanzi in gran parte tradotti in italiano e tutti in qualche modo collegati l'uno con l'altro. I temi trattati nei suoi libri esplorano in modo crudo la complessità e il lato oscuro dell'animo umano raccontando ingiustizie, violenze e prevaricazioni. Già finalista al Goncourt e premiato dall'Académie Francaise, Chalandon è un romanziere che non usa la scrittura per chiudere i conti con la realtà ma per condividere esperienze difficili, senza edulcorarle. Una scelta che nasce anche dal suo passato di reporter di guerra che lo ha visto raccontare la violenza, i sensi di appartenenza, i tradimenti in alcuni dei conflitti più caldi degli ultimi decenni, come l'Irlanda del Nord, il Libano, l'Iraq e l'Afghanistan. Con il suo nuovo romanzo Il libro di Kells  ha confermato di essere maestro nell'arte di narrare le grandi vicende storiche mescolandovi la propria storia personale. Al centro della narrazione ci sono la Parigi dei ruggenti anni Settanta, gli scontri di piazza, il maoismo giovanile, il ribollire delle strade e un indomito senso etico dalle precise venature religiose.L'abbiamo incontrato a Pordenone, dove quest'anno è stato il protagonista del Festival Dedica, giunto alla 32ma edizione.

In episode 141 of Game Design Unboxed, we talk with librarian and game designer, Lewis Graye, whose game design journey began after relocating to Syracuse, becoming part of the local tabletop scene, and participating in a game design contest at a wedding.   They share the story of Lewis' first published design, Inkwell, and its unexpected path to publication, which began as a playtest mechanic that DVC Games expanded into a full game whose theme was inspired by the animated movie, The Secret of Kells.  The discussion continues into the use of historical, open source inscriptions for content, the importance of balancing gameplay so it stays fun without becoming overly cutthroat, adapting designs to publisher constraints like box size and component changes, how player experience can shift depending on the group, designing escape rooms, the importance of getting a playable prototype to the table early, and how the salt in the Syracuse water yields some pretty great game designers.   Featuring:  Lewis Graye - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host

Seán Gilsenan is a singer-songwriter from Kells, Co. Meath, now based in Dublin. With over 30,000 streams and more than 350,000 views on TikTok, he is moving away from traditional heartbreak-driven songwriting, instead exploring themes of perspective and emotional balance within a modern folk sound. His latest single “Equanimity” reflects this direction — a song centred on finding calm and clarity in an increasingly chaotic world. Following the release of “Pawprints” last year, a deeply personal track that resonated with listeners, Seán continues to develop a more concept-driven approach to his writing. He has been gigging regularly, with upcoming shows in Dublin. Alongside his music, Seán currently works in the legal industry — though with growing momentum behind his releases, he's hoping to trade the office for the stage.

After staying in a luxury treehouse in France, I began to wonder what Ireland had to offer beyond the traditional hotel experience. The answer? Quite a lot. In this episode of Travel Tales with Fergal, I explore four truly unusual stays around the country — each offering something distinctive, memorable and a little out of the ordinary.First, I revisit my summer stay at Trinity College Dublin Rooms. Available from May to August, the student accommodation within the historic college grounds offers a rare chance to wake up in the heart of Dublin, surrounded by tranquillity yet steps from the city's buzz. There's the novelty of morning coffee trucks in the square, after-hours calm once the day visitors leave, and of course the chance to explore the iconic Book of Kells and the magnificent Long Room Library. Visit https://www.tcd.ieNext, I head to Mount Congreve Gardens in Kilmeaden, Co. Waterford. An 18th-century estate with extraordinary gardens, it offers everything from off-grid bell tents to stylish eco-cabins with hot tubs. I stayed in one of the atmospheric two-bedroom gate lodges — rich, gothic interiors, antique beds and velvet armchairs. With after-hours access to the gardens, direct links to the Waterford Greenway, and easy reach of the Comeragh Mountains and Mahon Falls, it's an ideal blend of heritage and outdoor adventure. Visit https://mountcongreve.comFrom there, it's on to the forest escape that is Cabu by the Lakes in Co. Cavan. Set on the shores of Lough Oughter, these woodland cabins range from cosy one-beds to larger barn houses with hot tubs. Think wood-burning stoves, lakeside views, outdoor saunas and cold plunges tucked among the trees. With boating, kayaking and forest walks on your doorstep - and new cabins launching in 2026 - it's a grown-up retreat designed for switching off. Visit https://holidays.cabu.co.ukFinally, I visited Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa in Tralee, Co. Kerry, where I stayed in one of their distinctive Iglucraft woodland cabins. These Nordic-style pods combine craftsmanship and comfort, all set against the backdrop of the Slieve Mish Mountains. Family-run for three generations, the estate is also deeply committed to sustainability, with extensive rewilding, native tree planting and scenic walking trails woven through the grounds. Visit https://www.ballygarry.comFrom college cloisters to woodland hideaways, lakeside cabins to historic estates, this episode highlights four unforgettable Irish stays that prove you don't have to leave the country to experience something truly different. If you're looking for inspiration for your next short break, this one is for you.Fergal O'Keeffe is the host of Ireland's No.1 Travel Podcast Travel Tales with Fergal which is now listened to in 140 countries worldwide.

(00:00:00) In this episode, we begin with the inspiring journey of Kelly Anoka, a devoted maker whose woodworking story is rooted, quite literally, in family history. Kelly shares how a set of walnut trees planted by her great‑grandfather more than 80 years ago sparked her passion for transforming reclaimed Pennsylvania wood into meaningful, functional art. From foraging fallen branches to collaborating with clients on custom pieces, Kelly walks us through her process, and her love of learning. (00:22:39) We then shift to a conversation with Stacie Blake, CEO of YWCA Lancaster, as we honor the life and legacy of Maureen Powers. A longtime director and unwavering advocate for women’s rights and racial equity, Maureen’s impact continues to shape the community she served with courage and conviction. Stacie reflects on Maureen’s leadership, her vision, and the profound mark she leaves behind. This episode brings together stories of creation, purpose, and the enduring influence of those who shape our communities—whether through craft, advocacy, or a lifetime of service.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Clare native has been remembered as a “man of determination” whose perseverance had a positive impact on the lives of many. A ceremony has taken place in St Patrick's Hall in Corofin to celebrate the life and contribution of Clare Leader Forum co-founder Dermot Hayes. The celebration of life of one of Corofin's proudest sons opened with the voice of Luka Bloom singing the words “don't be afraid of the light that shines within you”. The following hour would be filled with tributes from family members and loved ones, each of whom benefitted from the light Dermot beamed into their lives. The native of Kells in Corofin, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 71, was a towering figure in activism in Clare, co-founding the Clare Leader Forum in 1992, serving as chair of the Clare branch of the Irish Kidney Association, and playing a key role in countless campaign across the last five decades. Humanist celebrant Pat Clarke-Browne says he championed the cause of countless people in Clare and beyond. Among the gifts presented to offer a representation of the person Dermot was were family photos, a slew of awards, local newspapers, a phone which he used to listen religiously to listen to his favourite music as well as Clare FM, and a copy of the W.B. Yeats poem ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree'. His sister Andrea, who referred to him as ‘Dynamo Dermot', says that despite the odds, his life was one well-lived. The over 200 attendees heard that in his private life, Dermot has a devoted husband and father who loved nothing more than being a Dad and told his children everyday how proud of them he was. His wife Marian told the congregation that looking after her father inspired his daughter Aimee to become a nurse. Aimee says he was a “legend” of his time and the best dad she could've wished for. Dermot is survived by his wife Marian, daughters Marese and Aimee and wide circle of family and friends. May he rest in peace.

durée : 00:08:20 - Le Masque et la Plume - Deux ans après le succès de "L'Enragé", Sorj Chalandon revient avec "Le livre de Kells" (Grasset), un roman d'apprentissage autobiographique qui plonge le lecteur dans la France contestataire du début des années 1970. Qu'en ont pensé les critiques littéraires du Masque et la plume ? Vous aimez ce podcast ? Pour écouter tous les autres épisodes sans limite, rendez-vous sur Radio France.

Invité: Sorj Chalandon. La violence peut être subie. Mais elle peut aussi être infligée, parfois par idéologie, pour une cause qui semble la justifier. Le journaliste et écrivain Sorj Chalandon a subi la brutalité de son père durant son enfance, puis connu celle de la rue. Mais, la violence, il lʹa aussi infligée, dans des manifs, à coups de barre de fer et de nunchaku. Cʹétait au début des années 1970, il se battait dans les rues de Paris sous la bannière maoïstes de la Gauche prolétarienne, comme il le raconte dans "Le livre de Kells", paru aux éditions Grasset. Lʹusage de la force peut-il être justifié par une cause? Comment vieillit-on avec cette empreinte de la violence? Sorj Chalandon est lʹinvité de Tribu.

durée : 00:27:42 - Les Midis de Culture - par : Marie Labory - Au programme du débat critique, de la littérature, avec Sorj Chalandon pour son "Le livre de Kells", et Laura Vazquez pour "Les Forces". - réalisation : Laurence Malonda - invités : Marie Sorbier Productrice du "Point Culture" sur France Culture, et rédactrice en chef de I/O; Johan Faerber Editeur, essayiste, critique littéraire.
