Ep 79---

Paul recently completed an epic endurance swim....the full length of the River Shannon, clocking in at a staggering 230km over just eight days! In this conversation, Paul chats with me and about how he prepared for the challenge, the training and sacrifices along the way, and what it really took (both physically and mentally) to push himself mile after mile in the open water.

From prepping with early morning swims in freezing winter conditions, to assembling a support crew (and even squeezing in family time with his new baby!), Paul opens up about the highs, lows, and unforgettable moments. Plus, it’s all for a great cause.....raising vital funds and awareness for the Northwest STOP Suicide Prevention charity.

If you need a dose of motivation, a reminder of the power of community, or just want to hear an incredible local story, you’ll love this episode!

Ep 77---

For episode 77 we have Sean Nicholson for a chat that’s heartfelt and full of laughs. Sean takes us back to his childhood at the foot of the Curlew Mountains, growing up in a house steeped in music, stories, and a fair bit of mischief.

From there, the conversation meanders through rambling houses, lively sessions, and unforgettable characters, before following Sean to London in the 1980s and 90s, where the Irish community and music scene brought both challenges and adventure.

Along the way, Sean talks about learning his first instruments, playing in bands, life abroad, and the characters you’d meet gigging in Irish pubs. We also hear about brushes with fame, lessons learned, and his later involvement in creative projects back home, including the ‘Oh No Somalia’ charity album.

It’s a lively trip through memory, music, and community....told with all the wit and warmth of one of Boyle’s own.

Enjoy!
