201/365: Catherine Moylan, Dublin
3w ago00:20:45Tap to summarizeCatherine is on the cusp of something great. A new chapter in her life awaits her, she just needs to jump. Catherine applied to be in this project as she wanted to represent a demographic whom she feels gets the short end of the stick in society. Single people. She knows that when it comes time to write her will, her assets will be taxed heavily, more so than if she were leaving it all to a child or spouse, and where’s the fairness in that? I spend our chat trying to convince her to sell all her assets and spend every penny on herself (and her dog, Roxy).xRSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

200/365: Jean Hughes, Beaumont, Dublin
3w ago00:20:00Tap to summarizeJean is a gorgeous, chatty soul and a great storyteller. For her whole life she was living with a cluster of tangled up arteries (like balled up Christmas tree lights) right in the centre of her brain. It was only when things started to go a little bit wrong that it became a problem.RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

199/365: Sean Downey, Cork City
3w ago00:23:43Tap to summarizeSean didn’t have the easiest start in life. He entered foster care when he was just 10 years old, and instantly had to start advocating for himself. By the age of 15, he had a battle on his hands with the Irish government. He wanted to share his story of foster care online and in the media, but the law prevented him from doing so. Sean went to court and changed the law! He’s now a freelance filmmaker and workshop facilitator, making short films and documentaries that highlight the plight of those in society without a voice.

198/365: Adrian O'Connell, Hibernacle, Orlagh House, Dublin
4w ago00:17:20Tap to summarizeI met Adrian down at the festival, his friend nominated him and told me that he’d be a great shout for the podcast. He wasn’t wrong. I met Adrian for a brief chat, not knowing anything about him. What I found was a sweet, soft spoken man, who is extremely passionate about music. He talks so enthusiastically about other musician’s work, which is quite frankly, lovely to see. He’s an artist in an engineer's world, playing guitar and writing songs to ease his soul. He’s grieving the loss of his father, Des, who just three weeks ago left this world and by all accounts, sounds like he would have been delightful to chat to as well.

197/365: Sharon Moroney, Hibernacle, Orlagh House, Dublin
4w ago00:13:15Tap to summarizeWell, if ever there was a person to say “music is life” it’s Sharon. She has lived what some would consider a “normal life”. Faced with very little job opportunities when she left school in the 80s, she took whatever job was going and was quite content with that. She built a home, raised her kids, but when she was secure and happy, it was time to rediscover her love of music. She once considered herself to be a shy person, but since throwing herself into music, she’s anything but. Sharon now goes to sean nós singing workshops, folk music gatherings, and has sung in choirs to 40,000 people.

196/365: Emmet O’Brien, Hibernacle, Orlagh House, Dublin
4w ago00:26:27Tap to summarizeEmmet is the MC for the weekend down at Hibernacle festival. It's a small, gorgeous gathering of art and music loving folk, so Emmet fits right in. He’s a poet, born and reared in Cabra and is lucky enough to still live there. We had a lovely chat about his work delivering poetry workshops in schools and prisons, as well as what it really means to make a living as an artist in 2026.RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

193/365: Kev Cotter, Thurles, Co. Tipperary
Jul 1600:26:53Tap to summarizeKev has been through the wars recently. I sat with him in his front room, surrounded by his vinyl collection and with his tiny dog, Penny, on his lap. He was so incredibly honest with me and told me his story of overcoming alcoholism, heartbreak, grief and loss. His main reason for talking to me today is so that other people know that it’s OK not to be OK, and when you need help, put your hand up, ask for it, and if they don’t hear you, ask again.RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

192:365: Esther-Mary D’Arcy. The Burren, Co. Galway
Jul 1500:19:04Tap to summarizeIt was Esther-Mary who reached out to me first to nominate her husband Gordon (episode 191/365) to be in the project. It wasn’t long after meeting her that it was hugely apparent that I needed to include her in the series as well. She’s an incredibly accomplished physiotherapist who followed in her mother’s footsteps. She has spent her life travelling across the world as part of her work, but always returning home to their glorious cottage (and gallery) in the Burren. Esther-Mary and Gordon are a truly inspirational couple. They support each other's work and passions, while thoroughly enjoying life.
