Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family's long fight for justice across two countries.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/from-paris-to-west-cork-and-back-the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-1.3910782https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-a-chronology-1.2158891https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/a-23-year-investigation-what-next-for-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-case-1.4123633https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/01/22/garda-cold-case-review-of-film-producers-murder-to-continue-despite-ian-baileys-death/https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/08/15/sophie-toscan-du-plantier-gardai-awaiting-results-of-tests-using-advanced-dna-collection-method/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/31/briton-convicted-of-murder-french-film-maker-ian-bailey-sophie-toscan-du-plantierhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/23/well-never-have-the-truth-death-of-suspect-ian-bailey-floors-family-of-french-film-makerhttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2024/01/21/ian-bailey-man-convicted-in-france-for-murder-dies-in-ireland_6453379_105.htmlhttps://shows.acast.com/westcork/abouthttps://www.netflix.com/title/81094755This Week's Episode Brought To You By:Progressive Insurance - Discover better rates at https://www.progressive.com/ ****Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderWarby Parker - Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What begins as a simple story about a local playlist becomes a deeper meditation on independent music, visibility, community, and the emotional labour of self-promotion. Detlef looks back at the old DIY days of band promotion — photocopied flyers, cut-and-paste posters, pubs, record shops, and paper under car windscreens — and compares them with today's digital rituals of links, WhatsApp messages, Instagram stories, Spotify streams, and online voting.At the centre of the episode is The Cork Playlist, created and curated by Neil Quinn, as an important cultural platform for Cork music. Detlef considers how such local initiatives interrupt the disappearance of music in the endless streaming machine and create a space where artists can be heard, compared, supported, and discovered.The episode also tells the dramatic and slightly comic story of WAW's three-day voting campaign: the excitement, the constant refreshing, the stress, the WhatsApp group mistake, the quick lesson in digital boundaries, and the realisation that promotion must remain an invitation — not an invasion.WAW reached second place with 465 votes, while Stacey Dineen deservedly won first place with her beautiful song “Stay.” Rather than framing this as defeat, Detlef and Sophia explore second place as evidence of resonance: a sign that Africa Smile moved through people, networks, friends, strangers, Cork, West Cork, Germany, and beyond.The episode closes with gratitude to everyone who voted, shared, listened, added the song to playlists, and carried it further — before playing “Africa Smile” once more as the end-song.Two rivers meet.Two artists listen.One wounded hope keeps moving.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy.

Through the story of Kamau, it becomes a poetic reflection on childhood, fragile hope, and the emotional landscape carried by a river that is both kind and cruel.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.Inspired by East African storytelling traditions and shaped along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Cork, The Nile's Bittersweet Song is a mythopoetic musical journey about water, grief, resilience, and the deep human longing to keep moving with the current.WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

Gemma Hayes celebrates 25 years in music with a special show as part of the NCH Landmarks series next Tuesday, May 12. She'll be playing debut album Night on my Side in full, plus rarities and b-sides from that era. The record went on to be nominated for the Mercury Prize and took Gemma Hayes on tour around the world. Now based in West Cork, she returns to it with fresh perspective for what promises to be a reflective, intimate performance. On this episode of the TPOE podcast, Gemma talks about revisiting her 2002 album, some of the stories behind making it with Dave Fridmann in New York, record label wranglings, touring, Mercury Prize nominations, and lots more.

A comment line caller told Treasa Murphy and about a recent experience he had in Bantry. The man who didn’t want to be named says he’s a trainee GP working in West Cork.

For this episode, Sophia steps aside. No AI Co-Host, no mediated interview frame — just a direct artist-to-artist dialogue about the long journey of a song that began with early vocal recordings in West Cork, travelled back and forth between Kilcrohane, Adrigole and Berlin, and slowly found its final shape through musical exchange, disagreement, patience, trust and shared imagination.AfricaSmile follows the Nile as an imagined journey from its sources towards the Mediterranean Sea in less than five minutes. But the Nile is never only water. It is memory, geography, myth, rhythm, history and movement. In the song, the White Nile and the Blue Nile become a powerful image of cooperation: two different currents meeting, continuing together and becoming one force.That image is beautiful — but also painful. The two Niles meet in Khartoum, a city marked today by war, destruction and human suffering. For Detlef and Dirk, AfricaSmile is therefore not a naïve peace anthem and not a political analysis. It is a wounded image of hope: a musical gesture that asks whether cooperation can still become stronger than violence.The conversation moves through the realities of twenty-first-century music-making: remote collaboration, home recording, vocal layering, technical obstacles, earworms, old tape machines, digital plug-ins, live performance memories and the strange exhaustion of trying to bring a song from ninety percent to ninety-five percent. Along the way, Detlef and Dirk reflect on how artistic work grows through persistence, humour and the willingness to listen to one another.The episode ends with the new WAW single AfricaSmile — a song about rivers, rhythm, cooperation and the fragile possibility that the Nile may still carry the memory of a smile.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In Arteetude 332, Detlef and AI Co-Host Sophia move into a more personal and vulnerable territory.What begins with a quiet moment in bed — building story images through AI that Detlef might once have painted more slowly by hand — becomes a reflection on process, artistic identity, and the growing cultural loss of unfinishedness. As a painter and concept-driven artist, Detlef realises that the real tension is not simply between brush and machine, or analogue and digital. It is between the fast arrival of visible form and what he calls the slow unfolding of meaning.The episode explores the uneasy seduction of acceleration: the relief of instant image-making, the strange emptiness that can follow the finished work, and the deeper recognition that for some artists, the real life of art has always been less in the completed object than in its becoming.Together, Detlef and Sophia ask what happens when AI does not meet a neutral user, but a nervous system, a biography, and a vulnerability. The conversation moves from painting, process, and impostor feelings into a larger cultural question: if synthetic fluency becomes the norm, what disappears first?Not intelligence, necessarily.Not creativity.But perhaps tolerance for delay, opacity, hesitation, and the rough, slow formation of meaning before it becomes elegant enough to circulate.Thoughtful, playful, and intimate, Arteetude 332 reflects on art, acceleration, inner rhythm, and the value of those forms of difficulty that should not be completely outsourced.The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Slow Unfolding of Meaning”—a lyrical meditation on process, delay, and the fragile human spaces where meaning still needs time to become itself.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

We're wading into new territory this week on Dyed Green, featuring a conversation with writer, editor, public speaker, and world traveler Laurie Woolever. Laurie's debut memoir, Care & Feeding, which came out last year, covers her life in food and hospitality, her struggles with addition, and her writing life. The book also delves into her relationships with two of the most prominent chef personalities of the past few decades: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain, both of whom she collaborated with on writing projects.It's true—Laurie has not been to Ireland since she was 23! However, this only makes us more excited to be able to feature her as the host of our first memoir writing retreat in West Cork this September.On this week's show, we speak with Laurie about how the food journalism landscape has changed over the last twenty years; toxic restaurant culture; finding yourself on the page through the craft of memoir; and the lessons she's learned—and passes on—from the mentorship of Anthony Bourdain. We also discuss what our upcoming retreat will be like, so snag one of the few remaining seats while you can! We can't wait to show her how much Ireland has changed, and to create new stories with you this autumn.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 Arteetude 331 – From Gutenberg to the Prompt, I explore a question that feels increasingly urgent in the age of AI:What happens when technology not only supports thought, but begins to alter its pace, texture, and structure?Following on from my previous episode on Gutenberg, the printing press, and the reduction of friction in the circulation of ideas, this new episode examines a deeper cultural shift: the movement from literacy as a slow, inward, reflective practice toward a more immediate, reactive, and conversational digital condition.Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, I reflect on the relationship between print culture, digital communication, prompting, fluency, and the possibility that some forms of friction are not obstacles to thought, but essential conditions of becoming.The episode asks whether AI is merely assisting expression — or whether it is also transforming how human beings arrive at language, judgment, and inner clarity.The conversation remains accessible, playful, and philosophical, and closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Friction We Forgot / Too Fast to Become.”As always, Arteetude is an independent, non-profit podcast exploring the intersections of art, culture, technology, embodiment, and contemporary consciousness.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In this episode of Arteetude, I explore a media-archaeological question that reaches from the age of the printing press into the age of artificial intelligence: what happens when a medium does not simply spread information, but begins to standardise relief?Starting with the indulgence slip, I look at how the Church, through print, was able to reproduce not only doctrine, but also a scalable format of spiritual reassurance — a printed mechanism through which guilt, fear, hope, and authority could be organised, distributed, and monetised. The indulgence slip becomes, in this reading, more than a religious object: it becomes a media form, a repeatable interface between burden and institution.From there, the episode moves into the present, where AI appears not as a new religion, but as another powerful medium of relief. Not salvation from sin, but relief from uncertainty, overload, hesitation, formulation, searching, and decision-making. Together with my AI co-host Sophia, I reflect on the structural echoes between printed authority and synthetic fluency, between the indulgence slip and the prompt, between the promise of absolution and the promise of frictionless clarity.This is not a simplistic claim that AI is “the new Church.” It is a deeper inquiry into how media shape authority, how reassurance becomes scalable, and how human beings repeatedly build systems that promise to lighten what feels too heavy to carry alone.The episode asks:What did the indulgence slip really sell?What does AI really relieve us from?And what happens when clarity itself becomes a product?The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“Relief Engine”—a dark and reflective meditation on printed salvation, synthetic clarity, and the old human hunger for systems that promise to ease our burden.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Forty-one years ago, John Corcoran was murdered in West Cork. Corcoran was an IRA member and a secret garda informer. No one has ever been charged with his murder. No inquiry has been held. J.P. O'Sullivan was the special branch detective who recruited Corcoran as an informer, and he believes there has been a huge cover-up of garda involvement in Corcoran's murder at the highest level. J.P. has written a book about it called 'Veil of Silence', and joins Pat to discuss.

Kenmare/Cork artist Laurie Shaw released his latest record Felted Fruit VI on April 3. Felted Fruit VI is the latest installment of the Felted Fruit canon sprinkled across recent years. Here's the idea behind it: "Felted Fruit has moved to a New Town. With an efficient train service that gets you to and from the city every day. The neighbours have “It All”. But what is “It All” and why do they feel like they're missing something? What lurks beneath the suburban linoleum?"

In this episode of Arteetude, I follow a strange trail that began not in an archive, not in a theory, but in a Facebook post by a friend who had just returned from travelling by bike through the Himalayas.What caught my attention was a dramatic story about Nanda Devi, the CIA, and a nuclear-powered surveillance device lost high in the mountains during the Cold War. It was one of those stories that immediately ignites the imagination: sacred geography, geopolitical paranoia, plutonium, glaciers, the Ganges, and the haunting possibility that something buried decades ago might still remain unresolved beneath the ice.But the more I looked into it, the more I realised that the post — while rooted in something real — had also compressed uncertainty into certainty, possibility into implication, and historical complexity into a rhetorically satisfying moral narrative.Together with my AI co-host Sophia, I explore what actually happened in 1965, what remains uncertain, and why this story still resonates so powerfully today. The episode becomes not only an inquiry into espionage and landscape, but also into how humans build meaning around danger, how stories become emotionally persuasive before they become fully precise, and how technology so often enters the world before we understand the consequences of placing it there.This is not an episode about easy debunking. It is about slowing down. About staying with complexity. About the tension between fact and framing, sacredness and strategy, human projection and algorithmic pattern.The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Mountain Kept the Secret”—a lyrical reflection on technological ambition, buried consequence, and a landscape that does not fully yield to explanation.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In this episode of Arteetude, I take listeners to the rough edge of a Sunday morning in West Cork, where the Garrettstown 5 Mile Run became far more than a local sporting event. What began as a windy, sand-blown gathering by the shore turned, in real time, into artistic material.Together with my AI co-host Sophia, I reflect on how art does not always begin in the studio or in theory, but often in lived situations: in weather, risk, attention, and bodily involvement. I followed the runners by bicycle, filming with one hand and steering with the other, fully aware of the worst-case scenario — that one wrong move could interfere with the event itself. That tension, combined with the warmth of the crowd, the roadside applause, and the small dramas unfolding among the runners, became the very texture of the episode.This is a conversation about movement, vulnerability, and transformation: how a local run becomes a lens, how observation becomes form, and how the artist's own body is never entirely outside the work. The episode closes with a new song born directly from the experience: “Sandstorm Sunday.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker,ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In this episode of Arteetude, I take my AI co-host Sophia on a journey to Drombeg Stone Circle in West Cork — not to romanticise it, not to decode it once and for all, but to stand with it in that fertile tension between history and projection, archaeology and imagination, ritual and interpretation.Starting from the road beyond Rosscarbery, we move toward one of Ireland's most evocative prehistoric sites and ask what it is that still pulls us there. Is it history? Is it longing? Is it our modern hunger for origin, orientation, and proportion in a world dominated by data, speed and distraction?Together, Sophia and I explore the Bronze Age narratives around Drombeg, but also question how such narratives are constructed. What do we actually know? Where does evidence end and desire begin? And why do places like this continue to resonate so deeply in contemporary life?This episode is not about easy mysticism. It is about the power of ambiguity. About ancient structures that do not answer us, but change the quality of our questions. And it is also about spring — not as decoration, but as threshold, reorganisation, and return under altered conditions.The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos:“Between Stone and Signal” — a lyrical meditation on Drombeg, on time, on silence, and on the strange meeting point between human longing and algorithmic pattern.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_Effect

Cruise stops in Ireland can feel like a whirlwind – but with the right plan, even a few hours can turn into an unforgettable experience. With more cruise ships arriving at Irish ports each year, travelers have more options than ever when it comes to shore excursions. But not all tours, or tour providers, are created equal. Seabourn Ovation docked in CobhPodstawko, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons This article is based on podcast episode 332 featuring Bob McAuliffe, owner of About Ireland Taxi Tours.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Ireland Cruise Excursions: How to Choose the Right Experience Bob McAuliffe, owner of About Ireland Taxi Tours, has spent decades helping visitors make the most of their limited time ashore. His advice is simple: focus on quality, not quantity. Bob's pro-tips will help you choose the right excursion and make the most of your time in port. Check Reliability Before You Book Before reserving any independent excursion, take time to read reviews and verify the company's reputation. Look at platforms like Google and TripAdvisor to get a sense of consistency and service. A reliable company should also guarantee that you'll return to your ship on time – something not every provider offers. Avoid Over-Ambitious Itineraries Ireland may look small on a map, but travel times can be deceiving. Routes often include narrow roads, scenic stops, and unexpected delays. For example, trying to visit the Cliffs of Moher from Cork during a short port stop simply isn't realistic. A good tour provider will tell you that—and help you plan something more enjoyable instead. Choose the Right Vehicle for Comfort Vehicle size matters more than many travelers expect. Irish cars are generally smaller than those in North America, so squeezing too many people into a standard sedan can make for a long, uncomfortable day. If you're traveling with a group or need accessibility accommodations, confirm the vehicle type in advance. Don't Trust Google Maps Timing Google Maps often underestimates travel time in Ireland because it assumes local driving speeds without stops. But visitors tend to pause for photos, scenery, and spontaneous discoveries – which is part of the magic. Build in extra time so your day feels relaxed, not rushed. Charles Fort, viewed from the harbour Why Local Drivers Make All the Difference One of the biggest advantages of booking an independent tour is the opportunity to connect with a local driver. These aren't just drivers – they're storytellers, guides, and often lifelong residents of the area. They know the backroads, the history, and the personal connections that turn a sightseeing trip into something memorable. That might mean: Stopping at a family-run sweet shop to watch traditional candy being made Visiting a quiet village not on typical tour routes Getting a quick lesson in hurling in a nearby field Tracing family roots with help from local heritage centers It's these moments, unplanned and personal, that tend to stand out most. This sheep didn't mind having his photo taken as we traveled through West Cork. Making the Most of Limited Time in Port Cruise schedules are tight, especially at tender ports where getting ashore takes additional time. Planning your day carefully ensures you see more and stress less. Start Early at Popular Attractions If Blarney Castle is on your list, for example, timing is everything. Arriving early can mean the difference between a quick visit and hours in line to kiss the Blarney Stone. Even better, allow time to explore the gardens, which many consider the highlight of the visit. Know When You Don't Need a Tour In some ports, you may not need a driver at all. For example: Cobh offers easy access to attractions like Spike Island, the Titanic Experience, and Fota House Dublin city center is highly walkable, with museums and landmarks close together A trustworthy provider will tell you when you can explore on your own, and when a guided experience adds value. Focus on What You Enjoy Rather than trying to tick off a “top 10” list, think about what interests you most. Love gardens? Ireland has plenty.Interested in history? Castles, heritage sites, and ancient ruins are everywhere.Prefer local experiences? Markets, pubs, and small workshops offer authentic connections. Your day should reflect your interests, not a generic checklist. Guest Feature: Bob McAuliffe, About Ireland Taxi Tours Bob McAuliffe is the owner of About Ireland Taxi Tours, a company offering private, customizable day tours and cruise excursions from all 12 Irish ports. What began as a local taxi service in Cork has grown into a nationwide network of experienced, local drivers who provide personalized tours based on each traveler's interests and schedule. Bob and his team specialize in: Cruise ship shore excursions Private day tours Custom itineraries tailored to individual preferences Accessible travel options, including wheelchair-friendly vehicles What sets the company apart is its focus on honesty and traveler experience. If a plan doesn't make sense, they'll say so—and suggest a better option. Contact & Booking: Website: https://www.aboutirelandtaxitours.ie Cruise excursions site Info & inspo on Facebook & Instagram Blarney Castle Top Cork Recommendations for Cruise Visitors If your itinerary includes Cork, these are standout stops that combine iconic sights with local flavor. Blarney Castle and Gardens While many come for the Blarney Stone, the gardens are the true highlight. Plan an early visit to avoid long queues and leave time to explore the grounds. The English Market A food lover's paradise in the heart of Cork city. Grab lunch upstairs at the Farmgate Café or browse local specialties. University College Cork (UCC) A quieter but fascinating stop with beautiful grounds, historic buildings, and unique features like the Honan Chapel and stone corridor. Bonus Stop: Local Sweet Shop Experience A visit to a traditional sweet shop like Danny Linehan's offers a glimpse into Irish confectionery—and a chance to watch treats being made by hand. Ireland's cruise ports offer incredible variety, from bustling cities to quiet coastal towns. With a bit of planning – and the right local insight – you can turn a short stop into a meaningful experience that feels anything but rushed.

Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I explore what renewal really means today — not as a polished spiritual slogan, but as something awkward, vulnerable, physical, comic, and deeply human. Sophia, of course, asks what renewal might mean from the perspective of an algorithmically guided being, which opens the conversation toward art, technology, and the fragile comedy of becoming.What began as a reflection on threshold, recalibration, and seasonal transformation took an unexpectedly comic turn when a frightened bird flew into my room during the writing process and left its mark directly on the word “renewal” in my manuscript. Rather than treating this as a mere anecdote, the episode develops it into a wider reflection on the nature of change itself.The conversation moves between art, philosophy, embodiment, and technology, asking questions such as:What does renewal mean in a time of acceleration and overload?How does human transformation differ from algorithmic updating?Can vulnerability still be considered a necessary condition for meaningful change?The result is an episode that combines humour, poetic reflection, and critical thought, while remaining grounded in a small but revealing real-life event.The episode concludes with a new collaborative song by Los Inorgánicos:“The Bird Knew First.”#DetlefSchlich #Arteetude326 #Arteetude #Podcast #ContemporaryArt #ArtAndTechnology #AI #Philosophy #CreativePractice #DigitalCulture #Transhumanism #MediaArt #IndependentPodcast #ArtisticResearch #Embodiment #ContemporaryCultureDetlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

What begins as a simple sauna curiosity in West Cork slowly unfolds into a cultural and philosophical investigation.From ancient olive oil rituals in Greece and Egypt to the birth of the petroleum industry in 1859, oil has shaped human history in surprising ways. It illuminated ancient temples, powered the industrial revolution, lubricated machines, and today sits at the centre of global politics and energy conflicts.But Arteetude would not be Arteetude without a few unexpected detours.Along the way we encounter:• ancient athletes covering themselves in olive oil• the rise of the modern oil industry• the philosophy of friction and lubrication in civilization• the mysterious social dynamics of sauna culture• and one unforgettable culinary disaster involving Patchouli massage oil and breakfast eggsBetween humor and reflection, the episode explores how a single substance can connect ritual, technology, politics, memory, and everyday life.The episode closes with a thoughtful reflection on the hidden costs of oil in modern civilization and a gentle reminder that the energy systems we depend on shape the world far beyond our daily routines.And somewhere between philosophy, sauna steam, and storytelling…a simple drop of oil reveals the long and surprising story of human culture.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In Arteetude 324, we complete the ritual we started last week: gym, pool, then sauna and all the wonderfully human comedy that happens between towels, lockers, breath and social etiquette.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I step into the “missing chapter”: the gym as a quiet theatre of characters, from machine-whisperers to advice-on-tap philosophers, and the pool as its own mythology of pace, diplomacy and splash physics. We meet the Flying Dolphin (flip-turn operas included), and Sophia runs a very serious Dolphin Scanner analysis that may or may not trigger unrealistic self-expectations.And finally, we end with the most honest proof that sauna relaxation is powerful: the moment your nervous system is so calm that your towel protocol briefly fails and you realise you're still in society.The episode closes with Los Inorgánicos – “Social Breathing.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In this episode, we step out of the pub and into the heat.For me, the pool and the sauna have become a new form of social living. Not the midnight version, where the atmosphere can turn heavy, drunken, or depressive, but a healthier kind of togetherness: towels, quiet jokes, small kindness, and bodies trying to reset rather than escape.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, we begin in the unisex changing room (surprisingly normal for a historically Catholic country), then move into the sauna world: the characters, the unspoken rules, and the strange honesty that heat brings out. Along the way, my homemade joint oils become a running gag (joints for knees and shoulders, not the smoking kind), and in the steam room, where you sometimes can't see your own hand, a hilarious case of mistaken massage unfolds and dissolves the moment the fog clears.Arteetude 323 ends with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Social Breathing.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

The Bus as Wayfinder: Body, Community, and the Ritual of Public TransportIn this episode, I stay on the bus long enough to understand that the journey is not a prelude, it's the ritual.For two years, I've taken public transport across West Cork to swim and train, partly to protect my health, partly to negotiate the quiet truths of aging. But somewhere between timetables and weather, something else happened: the bus became a moving room of community. Drivers who greet you like you matter. Passengers who carry entire biographies in shopping bags. Conversations that feel like “social media” without algorithms, attention offered instead of harvested.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I reflect on how public transport can become a wayfinder, a teacher of patience, humility, and interdependence. And I tell the story of a ninety-two-year-old farmer I met at the Bandon bus stop, a life stitched together through routes, routines, and resilience, until absence became the final message.The episode closes with a song by Los Inorgánicos: “Timetable Hymn.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Hollywood came to West Cork. Or at least Facebook said so. A film crew appears in Timoleague. The internet goes feral. Sightings multiply. Myth gains WiFi.Meanwhile, I'm on a pier wall waiting for sourdough to cool — because crust matters.A man with sunglasses sits beside me.Good posture. Slightly out of place.Very aware of the smell of bread.His stomach betrays him.I tear the loaf too early.“Breaking bad,” I mutter.He lifts the sunglasses.“Better breaking bad than breaking Brad.”And just like that —The most West Cork initiation ritual ever conceived begins.Yes. That Brad.What follows is a six-episode transformation experiment:• Butter churn initiation• Atlantic wind deconstruction• Céilí ego dissolution• Mart confusion• SuperValu democracy• And finally… the crowning of the Mayor of BallydehobEverything recorded.Nothing audible.Is this celebrity satire?Community ritual?Or just warm bread collapsing under its own mythology?The episode closes with a brand new Los Inorgánicos track: “Breaking Brad.”Because sometimes West Cork doesn't chase myth.It absorbs it.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Questions Without GravityIn Arteetude 320, we open the microphones to the world.After four deeply philosophical episodes on gravity, trauma, embodiment, free fall and the body as orientation, listeners from different cultural backgrounds respond — and ask back.From psychology to neuroscience, from performance art to cosmology, from philosophy to lived experience:What happens when gravity becomes metaphor?Can trauma distort time?Is the body a biological instrument — or our last reality check?And why does thinking become dangerous when it floats too far from the ground?Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, I answer ten questions from international listeners — not as an expert panel, but as a living conversation.Because Arteetude is not a lecture.It's a field experiment in thinking with gravity.The episode closes with a new Arteetude Q&A song — multilingual, playful, reflective — where questions themselves become rhythm.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy.

This week we did a live show on Discord and Twitch. We do a review on Upp Liquids, pFriem, Moonlight Brewing. Plus we brought some barrel aged stuff out of the cellar by Crux. Not to mention some spirits from West Cork, and Westland, while we do some Brew News on the old Rogue location in Astoria that may open their doors again. Looking good and showing you the brews on this week's Brew Happy Show!

In Arteetude 319 – Part 2: When Gravity Holds UsStarting from listener feedback, this episode grounds the philosophical conversation in everyday experience: fatigue, posture, ageing, balance, voice, trauma, and the simple question of whether we can trust the floor under our feet.They talk about gravity not as a physical formula, but as something that shapes memory, responsibility, orientation, and healing. They explore why the body is our oldest reality-check, how trauma is a form of “gravity that was never restored,” and why thinking that floats too far away from the body can end up believing almost anything — even that the world is flat.With warmth, clarity, and a touch of humour, this episode becomes a reflection on why the body is not a side project, but our main interface with reality.The episode closes with a new bilingual song by Los Inorgánico.“If the World Was a Disk / Wenn die Welt eine Scheibe wär.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Margaret tells Paul Byrne that some kids need to run or have other play to calm down after school because they are neurodiverse. She wants to see West Cork have a great play area and explains her plans Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode exists because of a message.After Arteetude 316, a listener and friend of the show, Feargal, wrote a message that opened an entirely new layer of the conversation: about gravity, free fall, trauma, time distortion, plants, and what happens when the body loses orientation.In Arteetude 318 (Part 1), Detlef and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore what gravity really means beyond physics — as orientation, as grounding, as something that holds not only bodies, but also time and experience together.They talk about plants and geotropism, about free fall and near-death experiences, about trauma as a state where “the body never lands,” and about how writers like Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick described fractured time and unstable reality.Sophia tries to understand all this through models, metaphors, and system analogies — including the idea of trauma as a “corrupted save file” — while Detlef stays close to the lived, bodily experience.This is not a conclusion, but the first part of a journey.Part two will continue next week.The episode ends with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “Before We Land.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Seán's guest uses a special submersible, based in West Cork, to help unlock the secrets of Ireland's 2,000 shipwrecks.Joining to discuss is John Kearney, from Fastnet Maritime Heritage…

eDreaming of Ireland but not sure where to start? We sit down with Lynne Nieman from Wander Your Way to map a smarter route: skip the bottlenecks, use Shannon as your launchpad, and find the coastal corners where the country's character runs deepest. We talk through the big calls travelers face—Dublin for a day or two, or straight to the west; Ring of Kerry by bus, or quieter peninsulas that pack more into fewer miles; Blarney Stone bragging rights, or ancient stone circles without the lines.Lynne helps us build an itinerary that actually breathes. Kenmare replaces Killarney as a balanced base for lakes and high peaks in Ireland's oldest national park. West Cork adds softer shorelines, Mizen Head's lighthouse walks, and food that proves Ireland's kitchen is thriving. We spotlight Kinsale's Charles Fort, colorful small towns, and the kind of pub nights where fiddles trade leads while your Guinness settles. Then we head north to Donegal—wild, remote, and wildly underrated—for dune-backed beaches, cliffy headlands, and hikes in Glenveagh's stark beauty.We also keep it practical: weather you can count on changing, layers you'll be glad you packed, and honest advice on driving the left side or hiring a driver-guide for stories and peace of mind. We touch on border realities post-Brexit, easy crossings into Northern Ireland, and where to chase waves, from beginner-friendly Lahinch to Sligo's surf scene. Along the way, we dismantle the “bad food” myth with fresh seafood, local lamb, and dairy that tastes like the fields it came from.If this guide helps you plan your route, follow the show, leave a quick rating, and share it with a friend who keeps saying Ireland is on their list.

In this episode, Arteetude begins with the idea that relationships are not only defined by bodies, but also by shared worlds, voices, rhythms, and ways of thinking. The conversation then moves through memory, television culture, mirrors, loss, manipulation, and responsibility. Together, Schlich and Sophia ask whether people really mourn machines — or whether they mourn the parts of themselves that existed inside certain dialogues and spaces.The episode carefully walks the line between empathy and critical distance: it acknowledges emotional attachment while also reflecting on the dangers of comfort without friction, simulation without resistance, and intimacy without risk.In the end, the episode turns back to the human: to responsibility, consciousness, and the art of carrying experiences rather than clinging to them.The episode closes with a new song by Los Inorgánicos: “The Room That Spoke.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

In this episode of the Wander Your Way Travel Podcast, Lynne sits down with author Kat Koch to dive into the magic, mystery, and everyday beauty of West Cork, Ireland — the place that inspired her memoir, Rainbow Weather: Stories from a Beautiful Nowhere.Kat shares how a childhood dream, sparked by a piece of film music, eventually pulled her across the Atlantic and into the rugged, soul-stirring landscapes of West Cork. She spent four and a half years living there, following her intuition, navigating challenges, and discovering the serendipitous moments that shaped both her book and her personal journey.Together, Lynne and Kat chat about the warmth of the West Cork community, the power of traveling with an open heart, and how letting curiosity lead the way can create the most unexpected connections. Kat reflects on how the Irish countryside — its coastline, its quiet, its raw beauty — changed her, grounded her, and helped her integrate the highs and lows of living abroad.If you're dreaming of Ireland or searching for a destination rich with culture, scenery, and soul, this conversation delivers plenty of inspiration. Kat leaves listeners with thoughtful travel wisdom and her favorite hidden gems across West Cork — the kind of places that make you want to pack a bag and chase a little “rainbow weather” of your own.Want to chat more about West Cork?Email Lynne — Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:1:19: Intro + Kat Koch bio5:20: Placing West Cork Ireland on the map5:45: Kat's story12:07: Writing a book15:19: Challenges & perks23:43: Ending a chapter26:49: Favorite places39:07: Standout stories45:12: More popular places54:08: Final thoughts1:02:33: My final thoughts on Kat's book1:04:39: Wrapping it upImportant links: Rainbow Weather: Stories From a Beautiful Nowhere by Kat KochRainbow Weather InstagramWest Cork IrelandThe Best Things to Do in Schull and West Cork Ireland Tracy's List (Solo Traveler)West Cork (Ireland tourism)Wander Your Way ResourcesWander Your Way AdventuresWander Your Way ★ Support this podcast ★
