191/365: Gordon D'Arcy, The Burren, Co. Galway
Jul 1400:23:31Tap to summarizeGordon is a bit of a local legend out in the West of Ireland. His work as a Burren tour guide sees him meeting hoards of intrigued tourists each year and guiding them around our unique landscape. He’ll happily point out the native lizards, frogs and hundreds of birds that surround us in what some mistakenly take for a barren landscape. Nature is Gordon’s hobby, his passion and his life’s work. He paints beautiful depictions of Irish wildlife, sometimes straight onto stone, and many times in beautiful hardback books. In his latest book, ‘Birdstyle’, he has elegantly captured the characteristics of 112 beautiful Irish birds. xRSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

190/365: Holly Duffy, Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare.
Jul 1300:18:46Tap to summarizeIf ever there was an episode of this podcast that I would like the government to listen to, it’s this one. As we travel around all of Ireland and speak to a whole host of different people, from different socio-ecomonic backgrounds, different ages, different everything…there’s one topic that is affecting absolutely everyone. The housing crisis.Holly, her partner, and their small child are victims of the crisis. Each summer, they have to leave their rental home so that tourists can rent it on AirB&B. No matter what county they try (and they’ve been moving a lot), it seems they can’t find any decent, affordable and permanent places to live. Not the most ideal situation with a child who’ll be starting school soon. Holly is trying to be resourceful and knows that having just one income can hold them back, so she has launched a photography business. It’s something that she can do flexibly around childcare.

189/365: Katie Boyle, Woodquay, Galway City.
Jul 1200:17:29Tap to summarizeKatie is 22 years old, living and working in Galway city. She’s studying journalism and has a particular interest in documentary making. She works in a bar to pay her way through college and through this work finds herself having so many different conversations a day. She’s particularly interested in researching and advocating for men’s mental health. It’s a topic that worries her a lot, especially after losing so many young male friends to suicide in as many years.

188/365: Betsy Cornwell, Carraroe, Co. Galway.
Jul 1100:18:59Tap to summarizeBetsy is a writer, a single mother, and a survivor of domestic abuse. She left her home in America and moved to Ireland where she married an Irish man and had a son. When the marriage ended, she found herself in a very difficult position and she turned to domestic abuse services. She stayed with friends, found her feet and when she was stable, knew it was time to give back. She crowdfunded to buy a property which would house herself and her son, but would also be an artist residence space that she could offer to other single mothers who were in need of respite. She bought The Old Knitting Factory in 2020 and began her journey in Carraroe.Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

187/365: Dave Clancy, Cloughanover, Co. Galway
Jul 1000:11:47Tap to summarizeDave has found his calling as a musician, and thankfully left his old life as a software programmer behind. He used his lucky winnings on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme to write and record his second album. His music, like most art, is a processing tool. He turned to it in a big way after a severe tragedy in his life, and he has never looked back. Just to flag - today's episode tells a story some listener may find distressing. Please take care while listening. RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

186/365: Sandie Byrne, The Rock of Cashel, Tipperary
Jul 900:26:48Tap to summarizeSandie is a full time psychic medium. Today, she took us up to the Rock of Cashel to see her great grandfather’s resting place and talk me through her job (though it seems like more of a calling really). Sandie comes from a long line of psychic mediums including tea leaf readers, palm readers, tarot cards and even bones and stones. She can feel, see and even communicate with the spirits that surround us. RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

185/365: Darren Flynn, Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary
Jul 800:22:00Tap to summarizeDarren took us on a tour of the Eco Village in Cloughjordan, something I've always been fascinated with. It's an incredible community of wildly different people who all share a similar ethos. They have each built sustainable homes, decorated the parks and trails with edible plants, and have an amphitheater, enterprise center (with 3D printers and laser wood cutting facilities) and even allotments on site.Darren also chats to me about being in the Irish band, The Pale, for 25 years and how much the music industry (and his own perspective) has changed so much.

184/365: Matt Whitby, Co. Tipperary
Jul 700:16:13Tap to summarizeI’ve met Matt before today, but only through a screen. I was his mentor for a few sessions and was tasked with providing him with guidance with his photography. Really though, he didn’t need it. Matt’s work is stunning and incredibly unique. He uses his photography to access his community and connect with his queerness. He photographs male, nude models, but has also found liberation in becoming a life model himself.

183/365: Miceál Mullen, Newry, Co. Armagh
Jul 600:16:54Tap to summarizeMiceál has been given a second and third chance at life. He is the recipient of two kidney transplants, one when he was 14 and another just last year. The donors? His own brother and sister. He is, of course, incredibly grateful to them, and does not take a single moment in life for granted.

182/365: Avery Milo Parducci, The Tenters, Dublin 8
Jul 500:23:49Tap to summarizeAvery introduced me to the wonderful world of ceramics. In Dublin 8 there’s a fantastic community ceramics studio called Throwing Shapes where you can pay a membership fee and throw down some clay. Avery has found his joy teaching classes, making lovely wee mugs and even a bespoke piece for his Nana’s urn!xRSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.
