Audio Fiction Trailers: A Cambridge Geek Podcast

A Victorian Gothic Crime Audiodrama. On a cold winter's evening in Dublin in the 1890s, Professor Cesare Lombroso, a renowned Italian criminologist, arrives in the city to give a talk. Meanwhile, a man has been gruesomely murdered in the nearby Phoenix Park, and the authorities appear to be covering it up. As the police begin inquiries, a powerful English military commander leads a sinister parallel investigation, and two writers become increasingly intent on solving the crime, no matter the cost. The murder, it seems, may have disturbing connections with the occult. Lombroso, with his expertise in crime, is reluctantly drawn into the investigation and soon realises there may be dangerous consequences for his career. In fact, this murder may have profound implications for the very nature of life and death. And the murderer may still be out there.

On September 9 2024, the Garda Commissioner hosted a ceremony to award deceased, retired and serving members of An Garda Síochána with Scott Medals for bravery at Walter Scott House, Dublin. The Scott Medal is the highest award that can be bestowed by the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána and is awarded for ‘most exceptional bravery and heroism involving the risk of life in the execution of duty'. In 1924 Colonel Walter Scott donated to An Garda Síochána a $1,000 gold bond, in perpetuity, to endow a bravery medal, the Walter Scott Medal, and included the dies from which all Scott medals would be struck. The businessman and philanthropist Colonel Walter Scott met the then Garda Commissioner, General Eoin O'Duffy at an International Police Conference in New York in 1923. He then wrote to the Commissioner on January 8, 1924 consummating the offer made of donating the ‘Walter Scott Medal for Valour.' Commissioner O'Duffy responded on January 24, 1924 thanking Colonel Scott for his generosity.   The first Gold Scott Medal was awarded to Garda James Mulroy of Co. Mayo for his bravery in arresting an armed man in Broadford, Co. Clare in 1923 and was presented to him by Walter Scott himself at a ceremony in Phoenix Park on August 19, 1924. Garda Mulroy went on to donate his medal back to the organisation in 1978. The medal, and the original letter from Colonel Walter Scott, are both on display in the Garda Museum.  In this episode, you'll hear a slightly shortened version of the proceedings that took place in Walter Scott House, Dublin on September 9 2024.

Vótaí á gcaitheamh ar fud na tíre. People all over the country are voting today in the local and European elections. Tá daoine ar fud na tíre ag caitheamh vóta inniu sna toghcháin áitiúla agus Eorpacha. In Limerick the community is also electing a mayor. I Luimneach tá an pobal ag roghnú méara freisin. This is the first time in this country that the community will elect its own mayor directly; normally, councilors choose who will be the mayor of a local council. Seo í an chéad uair sa tír seo a thoghfaidh pobal a mhéara féin go díreach; de ghnáth, roghnaíonn comhairleoirí an té a bheas mar mhéara ar chomhairle áitiúil.

After visiting the brewery a few years ago, I looked forward to chatting with David and sharing an update on Ballykilcavan Farm and Brewery with Irish Tech News readers. (If you attend the Bord Bia Bloom Festival in the Phoenix Park this weekend in Ireland, be sure to try their craft beer, brewed in a centuries old farmyard in the heart of county Laois. And - do check out David's beer drinking recommendations towards the end of this article). The Beer and the Brewery at Ballykilcavan In a small, picturesque farmyard brewery, David and his team have brewed over 250,000 litres of beer since 2017. Eight different types of beer are brewed each year, alongside some special beers. (After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, David brewed "Resist - Anti-Imperial Stout" as a fundraiser for humanitarian relief in Ukraine). The beer is consumed in seven countries, Ireland taking the lion's share, followed by Italy. Local ingredients The brewing water is sourced from a local well, which is just outside the brewery building. As well as growing their own barley, there is a hop garden, of both bittering and aroma varieties. The hops are harvested in early October each year and used to brew a unique Fresh Hopped pale ale, where all the barley, water and hops are sourced from within 500m of the brewery. Origin Green Gold Committed to environmental sustainability, Ballykilcavan is a verified member of Origin Green, the Bord Bia national sustainability programme. In both 2022 and 2023, they were awarded the highest possible Gold membership level, making them one of only two breweries of any size in the country to be rated as Gold members. Sustainability champions Recognition of their commitment has come with winning so many National and Local Sustainability Awards, that it has led David to double the size of their awards cabinet. A range of efficiency measures have been implemented in the brewery, so they now generate 100% of their power from solar panels. There is a plan to build a small hydro generator, utilising a small river that runs through the farm. Ballykilcavan Visitors Centre Tourism is a very important source of income, and a new visitor's centre has been designed to fit within the historic farmyard. This new facility combined with tours of the brewery has proved to be attractive to tourists especially from the USA. This year they are also offering glamping for attendees of the Electric Picnic Festival. Challenges of a small brewing business Running a small brewery in rural Ireland is challenging, Ballykilcavan survives by focusing on a strong local trade, a growing export market and by building a unique and authentic tourist destination. Brewery tours can be pre-booked, and are offered between March and October.Selling the beer direct at festivals is an important source of income. To David's frustration they are not allowed to sell their range at the famous Electric Picnic festival which is located only 2.5 km up the road. The Electric Picnic festival have a deal with Heineken that excludes smaller local businesses. Competition of monopoly brewing companies for beer tap space in pubs Competition from the major breweries for space in pubs is fierce. The international brewers can offer sweeteners like new beer taps, new equipment, marketing materials, cool rooms and more. Whilst a small craft brewery cannot compete to offer such additional "support". Deposit Return Scheme and the "Cost of Business" David is critical of the recently introduced Deposit Return Scheme for the return of plastic bottles in Ireland. Designed by large retailers and large drink producers, small drink producers were not involved in the development of the scheme. It is an additional cost on small business, and could lead to a loss of business for small independent drink retailers and producers. And, it is a new levy on Irish consumers, taking away the responsibility of drink producers for the recycling of their products - the producers pay principle. David estimat...

As the impact of the climate crisis unfolds all around us, the reality of what's at stake changes our relationships with each other and the natural world. More and more of us are finding ourselves drawn to reconnect with the land and to build community—to “rewild,” in a sense. But what does it mean to live a wilder life? Is it even attainable or realistic for most of the globe, especially if you live in a densely populated urban area?Our guest on today's show is Lucy O'Hagan, a teacher, forest school leader, wildlife tracker, bushcraft instructor, and the founder of Wild Awake Ireland. Through Wild Awake, Lucy guides people through rites of passage, teaches ancestral skills, and helps people to distill what it means to rewild on a personal and practical level, regardless of where you live.On this episode, we speak with Lucy about the Wild Biome project and what it's like to eat exclusively wild, foraged food for three months; honoring age transitions through nature-based, participatory rituals outside of traditional religious practice; using ancestral skills to understand the role of power and privilege in our modern day lives; and the importance of collaboration and building community in our efforts to reconnect and reengage.

A threatened “strike” by rank and file gardaí next month has been lifted following a compromise between Garda staff associations and senior management in the dispute over rosters. Rank and file gardaí have dropped plans to refuse overtime over the next four Tuesdays and will not withdraw their service, a strike in all but name, on November 10th.What happened at that meeting on Friday between the Garda Representative Association (GRA), the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), the Association of Garda Superintendents and the Association of Chief Superintendents and senior Garda management at Garda HQ in the Phoenix Park, Dublin? Security and crime editor Conor Lally explains the background to this bitter dispute and explores how much of this is personal, an antipathy towards Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, an outsider in a force used to their own rising through the ranks to bag the top job.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

The GOAT herself joined our listeners in person this week for a run in Phoenix Park. I captured some sounds and asked Sonia why the "run slow to run fast" mantra might not apply to her. We look forward to the World Championships in Budapest and back at an incredible summer of running for Irish athletes including Sophie O'Sullivan. With the Dublin marathon less than 90 days away I ask Sonia about the most challenging hill on the course. Is it possible to prepare for a "heartbreak hill" or is giving it a name a step in the wrong direction? I take a spin into Vinny Mulvey (Patreon exclusive content visit www.patreon.com/irishmababroad to sign up today) for a chat about marathon training with less than 3 months to go. Is the 10% mileage increase a hard and fast rule or can we jump it a little faster a little sooner. There's also a trip around the Strava parishes and Sonia's tip of the week to enjoy. Come and see me on tour this autumn. Visit www.jigser.com for all my tour dates. Or why not come to our next week up run. Find the club on Strava today.

Join us on a stroll along North Circular Road from Phoenix Park to the Dublin Docklands with our guide Luke McManus, the documentary filmmaker of the award-winning North Circular which opens in New York City on July 28th.Rendered in graphic black & white over a soundtrack of local North Circular musicians, the film gives voice to narratives from the history of the city and nation, from colonialism to mental health, from women's liberation to the battle to save the legendary folk revival venue the Cobblestone Pub from thewrecking ball.Growing up in Bray, the home of Ardmore Studios, Luke recounts that first moment he realized that he was a director, why Humphrey Bogart holds sucha lofty position in his pantheon of film greats, and the many ways to make a living in film.Co-host John Lee diverts him into a conversation about horse racing which Luke explored in his film about the legendary ‘chaser Arkle and his TV series on the women in the sport, Jump Girls. Martin Nutty gets Luke talking about Crainn na hÉireann (The Trees of Ireland), the documentary series he did with past guest   Manchán Magan .But the centerpiece of the episode is North Circular, where Luke celebrates the beauty in urban grit, the serendipity found along the street, the juxtaposition of squatters and the shadows of skyscraping construction cranes, and the expressive power of music to honor the tragic and celebrate the spirit, all ending on an exuberant high note provided by Irish women in music and sport.Step off with us on our trek through North Circular with Luke McManus LinksWebsitesNorth Circular - Film websiteLuke McManus - Personal siteLuke McManus - VimeoLuke's Social MediaLinkedInTwitterInstagram
