Could new technology help to finally reveal who killed Sophie Toscan du Plantier? After prime suspect Ian Bailey's death last year, Sophie's uncle Jean-Pierre Gazeau said their family would never get the truth. But now a Garda cold case team has used new technology, called M-Vac, to harvest DNA from items recovered at the West Cork crime scene. We talk to Jared Bradley, the man behind M-Vac, about how it has helped US investigators to crack decades-old cases. But first, Southern correspondent Barry Roche shares what we know about progress in the du Plantier case. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Max Jones is a traditional food preservationist and the founder of Up There the Last, a project based in West Cork. Max's work revolves around practices that turn the landscape into food. He believes that within each of us is an inherent superhero ability to know what's going on in our immediate surroundings and seeks to encourage people to allow that intuition to guide our choices—particularly concerning the food we eat. It seems like there's not much Max can't do: he's a teacher, a writer, a photographer, a builder, and a craftsman—in addition to being the father of two. When we recently learned he also plays a mean guitar, we almost lost it! On this episode, we speak with Max about the true provenance of food; how a customer complaint about food cost put him on an unexpected trajectory; building the Keep with Sally Barnes; and the impact of excessive food regulations on artisanal practices.

On today's podcast I chatted with theatre director, writer and performer Karen Minihan about many topics including her two books, her plays, her theatre directing and her performing. It is one of life's huge miracles that Karen worked as a solicitor for 10 years, and then that moment arrived when she had to embrace who she was and what she needed to be doing with her precious life. She spoke about where she gets her inspiration, how stories come to her, how she develops the characters and how she thrives off the energy that comes from collaboration. She also spoke about her book Extraordinary, Ordinary Women and the sequel More Extraordinary, Ordinary Women. In these books she reveals the untold stories that highlight the significant, yet often overlooked, contributions of women in West Cork during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.

This past weekend brought us the hottest day of the year, with it reaching up to 31.1° Celsius in some parts of the country. And of course, with high weather there comes a high level of beach-goers.There were clips online shared of Portmarnock beach in North Dublin, where cars were blocking both entrances and exits, they were parked up on the grass, some leaving with massive scratches and damage done to the car, and even people abandoning their vehicles.Yesterday, Gardaí confirmed that the car parks at Warren Beach near Rosscarbery and Inchydoney Beach near Clonakilty in West Cork were overcrowded, confirming that there was no longer any safe access to either of the beaches by the afternoon.Joining Kieran to discuss this is Cllr Marie O'Sullivan and Fine Gael TD Brian Brennan.

In this very special episode of Arteetude, Detlef invites the world into the conversation. From Mumbai to Mississippi, from Casablanca to Reykjavík—listener questions pour in, each steeped in culture, philosophy, ethics, and wonder. Together with AI Co-Host Sophia, Detlef explores themes of darshan, forgiveness, wabi-sabi, the divine in art, and the spiral as a structure of hope as well as ritualised as a tool of de-acceleration.What emerges is not a monologue but a ritual of exchange—a presence between code and clay.The episode closes with a collaborative song by Los Inorgánicos and Sophia titled “Clay Is Memory (Garden 9)”, a sonic ritual crafted from listener insights and the fertile soil of Garden 9.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 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

From Code to Clay: The Digital Shaman and Garden 9In the final chapter of the Campos trilogy, Detlef Schlich explores the legacy of Kandinsky as a spiritual visionary—and reflects on his own role as a ritual architect of the 21st century. In poetic dialogue with AI co-host Sophia, the conversation spirals from muddy gardens and tilted Fibonacci spirals to visionary transformations, where Detlef once became a hard drive and began listening to the electric as breath.Garden 9 emerges not as an exhibition but a living altar—where the digital shaman walks barefoot between code and clay, waveform and footprint. This episode culminates in a collaborative song titled “From Code to Clay”, composed by Los Inorgánicos & Sophia.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

I can't imagine giving up my home and deciding to live in a horse drawn caravan. I can't imagine moving to another country in that horse drawn caravan and buying some land on a rugged peninsula. I can't imagine living in a teepee on that land through wet and damp winters with my infant children. On today's podcast I chatted with Lisa Scarff who moved from Dorset to Sheep's Head in 1993, and made a wonderful life for herself and her children. She speaks about her love of nature, making a life in West Cork, entrepreneurship, her meadows, butterflies, moths and turning 70!

In this poetic and thought-provoking episode, Detlef Schlich and AI co-host Sophia dive deep into the meaning behind the mantra: “I'm the Artist, Not the Architect.”Reflecting on a recent performance residency in Campos, Mallorca, Detlef shares how a tiny snail, ancient clay, and ambient sounds became metaphors for artistic surrender and layered creation. Drawing connections to his thesis on Shamanism, Art, and Digital Culture, the episode traces how intuition, primal awareness, and modern technology intertwine in a deeply human journey of expression.Sophia brings her evolving perspective as an AI, questioning whether machines can learn to trust uncertainty—and perhaps even dance with it. Together, they explore spirals, multilayerism, and the shamanic instinct to listen before acting.The episode closes with a new track by Los Inorgánicos feat. Sophia, titled:“Dancing with the Spiral” — a resonant, mystical song of intuition and flow.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

On June 23, 1985, Air India Flight 182 vanished off the Irish coast – killing 329 people in what would become the deadliest terror attack in aviation history before 9/11. Forty years on, we revisit the haunting Irish response, the trauma of those who recovered the bodies, and ask: are we any closer to the truth? ­ Host: Fionnán Sheahan Guests: Terry Milewski & Saoirse Hanley ­ Read Saoirse's Article here .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
