Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

He and his brother Chad (Mar. 2) were from an English family, educated under Saint Aidan (Aug. 31) of Lindisfarne. Both brothers entered monastic life at Lindisfarne and later became bishops. Cedd travelled as an evangelist among the people of Essex, where Saint Finan (Feb. 17) consecrated him to be their first bishop. He founded two monasteries in Essex, one of whose churches still stands; he built yet another monastery at Lastingham in Yorkshire, where he lived until his repose. He spoke both Irish and Anglo-Saxon, and served as a translator for the Irish at the Synod of Whitby in 664. He reposed at Lastingham not long after the Synod.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland in 2026 these tips will make planning smoother, help you avoid crowds, and maybe even save you a bit of money. Probably the most important tips are when NOT to be in Dublin, but there are some updates to European entry & exit systems that you need to know, as well as really important advice for 2027. Jody Halsted – Ireland Family Vacations and the Traveling in Ireland podcast In case you're wondering why you would want to get your Ireland travel advice from me… My name is Jody Halsted, and I am an Ireland travel advisor. I have been traveling to and through Ireland for over 23 years (!!), publish Ireland Family Vacations, host the Traveling in Ireland podcast, assist hundreds of travelers with their Ireland vacations each year and, occasionally, I also host small group tours through Ireland (I have 2 this spring so you can look forward to some live from Ireland episodes in April and May). That's a lot! But Ireland travel is my passion; and my goal -100% – is to help you have an amazing Ireland vacation. And I have quite a few ways to do that. My website, Ireland Family Vacations, is a complete resource for Ireland vacation planning – filled with information on what to do & see as well as handy tips for planning your trip and free itineraries to get your plans in motion quickly. (Don't let the name fool you! I travel through Ireland solo, with my husband, with my family, and hosting small group tours. Whatever your group size or dynamic I am able to assist!) My itinerary personalization, vacation coaching, and custom itinerary creation services help you maximize your Ireland experience, and my small group guided tours are designed to not only deliver the ‘authentic' Ireland of your dreams but also introduce you to the people and hidden places that make the country so very magical. If you love the process of planning your trip the Ireland Travel Compass walks you step-by-step through my expert process, from when to visit and how long the perfect vacation lasts, to what to see, where to stay, and even what to eat. It's basically my entire Ireland vacation planning brain laid out. On a more personal note, I have 2 daughters, now in college, who have been traveling through Ireland with me since before they could toddle and one very supportive husband (who loves it when I plan other people's vacations because it means I'm not planning my own). At Malahide Castle (It's probably time to get new family photos done)By Aoife for Flytographer; Dublin, Ireland. All rights reserved. Now that you know all about me, let's jump into what you need to know as you consider planning an Ireland vacation in 2026! This article is based on Traveling in Ireland podcast episode 320. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. 2026 Ireland Travel Tips You Need Ireland Travel Rules & Regulations There are currently no restrictions in place for North Americans traveling to Ireland.Ireland travel restrictions and other requirement are found here. In Case of Cancellation Read and understand cancellation policies on everything from flights and transportation to tours and accommodations before booking. If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier. And when budget carriers enter a market, US based airlines will drop rates to compete.

Hello friends! Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and Austin treasure Rich Brotherton is my guest for episode 1538! Rich has spent the last five decades playing with or producing artists like Robert Earl Keen, Toni Price, Patty Griffin, David Halley, Leann Atherton, Úlla, The Purgatory Players, and countless others. In April, after noticing that he was having trouble holding his guitar pick, Rich was diagnosed with ALS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease. While it's hard for him to do everything he once did as a guitar player, he's still playing some gigs including his weekly show with Irish folk band Úlla (with Pat Byrne and Andrea Magee) every Sunday at 5 pm at The Saxon Pub. We have a great conversation about the amazing benefit concert in December featuring Patty Griffin, Charley Crockett, and many more, coming to Austin from Boise Idaho in the mid-80's, how Austin's music scene made him feel at home, the Toni Price Hippie Hour, playing with Robert Earl Keen for exactly 25 years, working out of his own studio, dealing with having ALS and his amazing family and music family who support him, and much more. I had such a lovely time getting to know Rich. I'm sure you will too. I want to thank Pat Byrne for connecting us. You can find Rich online at richbrotherton.com, and Facebook.

Reporter, Sheila Naughton speaks to Irish people based in Colombia about Trump's threats on the country.

As countries around the world celebrated the arrival of 2026, the Trump administration took the opportunity of a new year to herald in historic levels of chaos in diplomatic quarters. And as the events unfolding in Venezuela have shown, the US is clearly not averse to meddling in the politics of smaller nations. Meanwhile, a former trusted adviser of the US president, Steve Bannon, gave an interview to Politico, where he claimed that we are "going to have an Irish MAGA, and we're going to have an Irish Trump”. Making it clear that some elements of the alt-right movement have set their sights on Ireland. Bannon's statement begs a number of questions, such as how exactly would he and other MAGA influencers pull this off? Tabitha Monahan is joined by Declan Lynch (Sunday Independent columnist) and Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc (author of Burn Them Out! A History of Fascism and the Far Right in Ireland) to ask how has this kind of nationalism fared with Irish voters in the past, what could MAGA influence look like, and how vulnerable are we to outside influence in the social media age?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you refer to your dog or cat as "somebody"? As in: When you love somebody that much, you don't mind if they slobber. In other words, is your pet a somebody or a something? Also, for centuries, there was little consistency in the way many English words were spelled. But long before the printing press helped to standardize spelling, powerful historical forces were already shaping how those words looked on the page. Plus, Irish words that are as handy as they are fun to say: bockety, which describes something wobbly, and segotia, a fond term for "friend." And ship vs. yacht, rope vs. line, the New Yorker vs. the The New Yorker, evening vs. afternoon, how to pronounce hammock, a wild and woolly animal quiz, "talking cheese" in German, and an Iranian-American playwright on the challenges of learning another language.

Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. Most know of him from his occult celebrity built on the premise, "Do What Thou Will Is The Whole of The Law" but what about his other "secret" life as an agent for the British government? Joel is back with another episode in his “Agent Crowley” series and this time he follows the Beast all the way to Bedloe's Island, the home of the Statue of Liberty. First Joel looks at the inlux of new British Intelligence handlers, like Sir William Wiseman, that came to New York who specifically dealt with Crowley and his connections to the German operations. He then breaks down the Beats's “great oath of Revolution” to the Irish and the Kabbalistic ritual connected to it. Lastly, Joel looks at Crowley's connection to Norman Graham Thwaites, his new direct handler, and the supernatural world view they both shared.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, a board certified physician who made a courageous shift from emergency medicine to the world of performance health optimization. Dr. Gajer shared how she reached a point of burnout even though she loved her work in the ER. Her story highlights a powerful truth that many high performers overlook. Loving your career does not make you immune to burnout. She explained why self care cannot be something we practice only during off hours, and how traditional medicine often focuses more on disease than on sustaining long term vitality. I emphasized how essential her work is, especially for leaders and professionals who want to feel energized and capable for decades rather than reacting to health problems after they arise. Optimizing Health for Career Success Dr. Gajer broke down a shift she sees in her clients. Success is no longer just about titles or income. True success requires a strong foundation of health. She explained how metabolic health plays a central role in energy, performance, and longevity. Small changes in how the body uses food for fuel can create massive improvements. She also covered the importance of hormone health and how people at any age can regain optimal energy levels. Dr. Gajer described clients in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s who continue thriving because they invested early in their health and maintained consistent habits. Health Habits for Peak Performance After 45 We explored why leaders over 45 must be proactive about both cognitive and physical health. Many people hit their 40s with more wisdom, capability, and clarity than ever, yet their bodies begin sending subtle warning signs. Dr. Gajer explained how burnout symptoms often show up quietly for people in demanding professions like healthcare, leadership, and entrepreneurship. We talked about why mindfulness, nutrition, movement, and regular health assessments are essential investments for long term functionality and longevity. Food Intolerance and Personal Health Awareness I shared my own experience with food intolerance testing and how it changed the way I look at nutrition. Discovering that I have a potato allergy, despite my Irish roots, and an intolerance to eggs, despite the egg in my brand logo, created some irony and a lot of self reflection. I talked about how foods interact with one another much like medications do, and why paying attention to how your body responds can be a game changer for overall well being. Whole Foods and Testosterone Health Dr. Gajer discussed the sharp decline in testosterone levels among men and why diet is a major contributor. She emphasized the importance of whole foods over processed products that are engineered to be addictive. Whole foods help regulate appetite, stabilize weight, and support hormone balance. She also highlighted the link between processed foods, inflammation, and cognitive decline. The message was clear. Your diet is creating either long term strength or long term struggle. Healthy Eating for Longevity We explored the consequences of poor dietary habits, including the rising rates of type 3 diabetes, Alzheimer's, and dementia. I shared why I believe medications like Ozempic are often used as a Band Aid for lifestyle choices rather than addressing root causes. We discussed how healthy food choices combined with regular movement help people maintain clarity, emotional stability, and resilience. When you take care of your body, you are better equipped to handle every other area of life. Health Habits and Daily Well Being Dr. Gajer emphasized that small health habits create major shifts. He noted that it is never too late to start making positive changes. We discussed the importance of consuming adequate protein, supporting gut microbiome health, and using daily rituals to reduce stress. I reinforced that when you strengthen your health, your performance improves in your relationships, your leadership, and your decision making. Inside Dr. Alexandra Gajer's Health Coaching Practice Dr. Gajer shared an overview of her health optimization practice, which supports clients nationwide. Listeners can book a free intro call through her website theguyerPractice.com. With my background in primary care administration, I deeply appreciate how vital her work is for healthcare professionals and high performers striving to stay healthy while maintaining demanding careers. Her contact information is included for anyone ready to take the next step toward long term health and vitality.  

Early 20th century musician George White painted the New York scene with dance tunes on his piccolo; and the tune bearing his name has gone on to enchant generations of Irish musicians. Well before that, a piper lured 130 children with his sweet playing (and his colorful clothes). There's no bankruptcy of mystery or chirpy melodies in this first episode of Season 10 of Shannon Heaton's Irish Music Stories. _________________

Notre Dame's slow start in the transfer portal sparks fan anxiety—will patience pay off or signal trouble for Marcus Freeman's squad? Top wide receiver target Nick Marsh chooses Indiana, raising questions about the Irish's portal approach, timing of campus visits, and NIL strategy as the program seeks to fill gaps at receiver and along the defensive line.Tyler Wojcick and Brian Smith analyze Notre Dame's search for impact transfers at wide receiver—eyeing Ian Strong, Reed Harris, and Isaiah Canyon—and break down the critical need for defensive tackles with names like Xavier Gilliam and Mateen Ibirogba in focus. Charlie Partridge's arrival as defensive line coach brings renewed optimism for the pass rush. The episode also covers quarterback depth behind CJ Carr, concerns in the kicker department, and a realistic haul of six to eight portal additions.

The Irish Stew podcasters venture across Westmeath one last time, to the county's eastern reaches to explore the picturesque village of Tyrrellspass, where they once again find a story of community commitment…and a bog.The community leader giving cohosts John Lee and Martin Nutty the grand tour of his charming town is Eugene Dunbar, a retired teacher who never retired from educating anyone who'd listen about the treasures unique to Tyrrellspass.After meeting Eugene at the town's centerpiece castle tower, the trio followed the signs to the Cloncrow Bog & Village Trail.“I came here in 1972 as a geography teacher, and I was absolutely intrigued with the whole system of the bogs and having one so close to us here in Tyrrellspass,” he says. “It's what they term an intact raised bog, with the same vegetation that would have been on it 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,000 years ago. So, you're looking at a unique landscape that hasn't changed in millennia.”Eugene tells of how people moved from viewing bogs purely as fuel sources to recognizing them as vital carbon sinks and ecological wonders, driven locally by the volunteer effort known as ETHOS--Everything Tyrrellspass Has On Show. Refusing to be bogged down by  bureaucratic challenges, Dunbar and the other ETHOS volunteers created the interpretive raised boardwalk through the local raised bog, which morphs into a trail through the highlights the village itself, culminating in its picture-perfect town green with its evocative 1970 Imogen Stuart sculpture of three school children representing the future of the new Ireland.After a restorative pint (or maybe it was two) in the snug, welcoming Willie's Bar, Eugene took the podcasters back to his inviting home, decorated with the paintings of his wife Josephine who served the trio tea and scones while the podcast recording began in earnest.Add signature Irish hospitality to Everything Tyrrellspass Has On Show!It's off to Longford next week when Irish Stew adds a mysterious Iron Age road to its Off the Beaten Track Road Trip itinerary as they explore the Corlea Trackway, discovered in 1984 by workers digging peat in the local bog--yes, again with the bog!LinksCloncrow Bog & Village Trail WebsiteETHOS WebsiteFacebookYouTubeIrish Stew LinksWebsiteInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 1; Total Episode Count: 143

The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW) Episode 306 Hosts Kim Simone and Mark Lenzi explore all things wine with you! A Spirited Sip with a Wine Maverick Raymond Blake Join hosts Kim and Mark on as they uncork a fantastic conversation with acclaimed Irish wine author, Raymond Blake. In this spirited episode, Raymond takes us on a journey through his unconventional path to becoming a respected wine writer, starting with a surprising "interest" at the tender age of 10. We dive deep into the world of Burgundy, exploring common misconceptions and his thoughts on the Aligoté grape, all inspired by his books Cote d'Or: The Winemaking Heart of Burgundy and Breakfast in Burgundy. Raymond also shares his unique perspective on French wine values and his work in Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Books. The conversation flows into topics from his book Wine Talk, including the concept of "sense of place" and Champagne's "garbage history." You'll be amazed by his candid revelation of a travel destination that fell short of his expectations. Finally, Raymond's passion shines through as he unravels the beautiful mystery of wine, offering a captivating and insightful look into why it captivates so many.

Since her big break in Muriel's Wedding 30 years ago, actor Toni Collette has graced our screens in a huge list of standout roles from The Sixth Sense to Hereditary, Little Miss Sunshine to Mickey 17. She joined Kylie Pentelow to discuss her latest film, Goodbye June. The emotional directorial debut from Kate Winslet tackles themes of love, loss and Christmas as a fractious family come together to sit vigil for the family matriarch, played by Helen Mirren.From the very beginning of the NHS in 1948, Irish women were actively recruited to staff British hospitals. By the 1960s, there were around 30,000 Irish-born nurses - making up roughly one in eight of all nurses – yet their contribution has often gone unrecognised. A new book aims to change that. Based on dozens of interviews, it tells the story of Irish nurses in their own words. We hear from co-author of Irish Nurses in the NHS: An Oral History, Professor Louise Ryan, who spent years researching Irish migration and from Ethel Corduff, who came to England to train as a nurse, a career she spent 40 years in.Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, or RED-S as it's known, was once framed as a concern only for elite athletes. But as running culture intensifies alongside weight-loss jabs and healthy eating trends, RED-S has become more widespread. It's often hard to spot, but the long-term consequences can be devastating, impacting immune function, growth and fertility. Sports dietitian Renee McGregor and Jodie Pearlman, who experienced the condition first hand, joined Kylie to talk about the condition.Why can adults seem to regress to childhood or teenage behaviours at Christmas? We discuss family dynamics and the kinds of behaviour that can re-surface with everyone under the same roof again. Guardian columnist Elle Hunt shares her own experience alongside Woman's Hour listeners, and psychotherapist Julia Samuel offers advice.It's 75 years since The Archers first launched. Woman's Hour broadcast from Ambridge to celebrate the female characters who have helped this programme tackle some of the most challenging, contentious and sensitive issues affecting women. Nuala McGovern joined Felicity Finch, who plays Ruth Archer, for a behind-the-scenes tour, along with Technical Producer Vanessa Nuttall.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Annette Wells

Send us a textSnow piled up outside and we cracked open Ellicottville's holiday variety to see what stuck. The “sugar cookie” ale promised vanilla and bakery warmth, but our palates landed on semi-sweet green tea with a syrupy hint, sparking a real talk about flavor names, expectations, and how seasonal beer labels set you up before the first sip. From there we mapped out our path to video: quick reels now, smart gear later, and a steady cadence built on honest reactions at the table rather than a perfect studio.The nostalgia wave hit when we turned to MTV's sign-off after 44 years. We relived the early music video years, the pivot to reality TV, and the moment YouTube made curation on-demand. That shift changed how artists break, how fans discover, and why short, searchable clips beat a cable slot. Music videos didn't die—they moved to a platform where you can find exactly the song you want in seconds.Redemption arrived with the Chocolate Cherry Bomb imperial stout at 8.2%. Big chocolate on the nose, a rich body, and a shy cherry note that flashes late before a dry, slightly bitter finish. We'd order a pint to try, but it's not a case buy; still, it's a solid winter sipper for stout fans. We also look ahead to St. Patrick's season—Irish reds, dry stouts, and ambers—and swap Savannah stories: long parades, sip-and-stroll charm, and cobblestone history that makes a beer taste better in your hand.If you love beer reviews with unfiltered honesty, a dash of music history, and road-tested tips for building a creator workflow, you're in the right place. Pour something cold, rate along with us, and hit play. Enjoyed the show? Follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

In this interview, she discusses her book, Race, Politics, and Irish America: A Gothic History (Oxford UP, 2023), which inserts successive Irish-American identities--forcibly transported Irish, Scots-Irish, and post-Famine Irish--into American histories and representations of race. Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: 'Redlegs,' 'Scots-Irish,' and 'black Irish.' In literature by Fitzgerald, O'Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America's racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America's immigrant hierarchy between 'Saxon' Scots-Irish and 'Celtic' Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performers complicates the 'Irish whitening' narrative. Thus, 'Irish Princess' Grace Kelly's globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for 'America's royals,' the Kennedys. The presidencies of the Scots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts' assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power ('whiteness') entails, subgenres named 'Scots-Irish Gothic' and 'Kennedy Gothic' are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-American narrative because the undead Irish past replays within America's contexts of race.
