164/365: Gaël Gaudin, Marino
Jun 1700:15:31Tap to summarizeI met Gaël in a Saturday market a few years back. He has a little van from which he made the most amazing crepes. Today, we sat in his very quaint wee house, surrounded by art and plants, and we were treated to vegan cookies. It’s Gaël’s dream to open a community space in the area. Somewhere kids can hang out, listen to live music and a place where locals can host a market. The biggest challenge to realising his dreams, is space. With new hotels and apartments popping up everywhere around him, there is a complete lack of community spaces. Something we’re all very familiar with and frustrated with.Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

Jun 1600:26:51Tap to summarizeEnda has been busy this week on the lead up to Irish Aids Day (June 15th) and meets us today utterly exhausted. Enda is an incredible queer icon, known also as drag queen, Veda who has played stages across the world, released albums, starred in movies, hosts a podcast but today we’re talking specifically about his activism. Enda went public with his own HIV diagnosis back in 2019 and has since launched ‘You, Me and HIV' — a nationwide campaign to address misconceptions around HIV and help reduce the stigma for those living with it.Some of the topics discussed today might be distressing for some listeners - so mind yourself and always ask for help when you need it.RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

162/365: Éanna Brown, Dublin
Jun 1500:20:16Tap to summarizeÉanna is mad about emo music. It’s something he came to later in life after leading what he describes as a “sheltered” life. He has found his passion and his tribe and now runs emo clubs around the country where he plays an awful lot of My Chemical Romance!Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

161/365: Johanne Heraty, Beyond the Pale
Jun 1400:17:55Tap to summarizeHere is a woman who has found her passion. Johanne lives by Samba, it’s her be all and end all. It’s her community and her joy. What’s most amazing is the connection she feels to her sadly departed Dad whenever she’s playing with her bloco. We found Johanne buzzing around the festival, in her self described smurf outfit, banging her drum, having the time of her life.

Jun 1300:11:31Tap to summarizeSinead exudes art in everything she does. In her professional capacity she endeavors to create spaces that people can be in awe of. This weekend at the festival she’s inviting people to her loveball, where she’ll hand out love letters and spread a little joy while DJ-ing under the very fitting moniker of minikimono.Sin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

159/365: Michal Mencnarowski at Beyond the Pale
Jun 1200:13:25Tap to summarizeWe’re down at Beyond the Pale this weekend doing the day job (photography) and so we thought we’d interview some of the lovely folk around us, like Michal. Michal is the brains behind the amazing queer collective, Rathaus, who take to the stage tonight. They’re an inclusive queer collective of DJs, performers and all round incredible people. xRSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

158/365: Valerie Hourigan in Rialto
Jun 1100:24:33Tap to summarizeVal makes us a cuppa in her lovely home and we fall instantly into the rhythm of a very quick Irish conversation. Val has lived in more counties than I’ve traveled to, but now resides in Dublin (although Cork seems to be vying for her attention too). Together we talk a mile a minute and cover topics like why Lesbos is called Lesbos, the importance of community and if we had another hour, we’d be able to fix all of Ireland’s problems too.

157/365: Jill Meghen, at The 40 Foot, Dublin
Jun 1000:12:51Tap to summarizeJill is a trailblazer, even though she would probably never describe herself as one. Jill has been swimming in Sandycove for nearly 50 years. In 1974, she was one of the first women to ever swim in the 40 foot. Fed up with having little space or depth to swim in Sandycove at the time, she defied the gender ban and swam with the men. Jill worked for RTE, but when she got married had to give up her job and stay home. However, she feels that the marriage bar (a ban on employing married women) wasn’t such an awful thing as she got to spend time with her children and focus on creating a home for them, which she cherished. Jill still swims in Sandycove, sometimes twice a day. Today, she defiantly ignores the red flag that’s just gone up. There’s still a bit of rebel in her it seems. xRSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

156/365: Barry Coyle, Co. Cavan
Jun 900:19:55Tap to summarizeBarry left Dublin for Cavan, and is living a lot of people’s dream. During the pandemic things got a little noisy in their apartment in Portobello. Yvonne, Barry’s wife, lost her mum, and she felt the need to live a little closer to where she came from, Cavan. They now have all the space in the world, not to mention peace and quiet. Ever keen to keep busy and integrate into his new community, Barry has transformed a derelict old creamery into a workshop for his fledgling business. Inside, he restores old furniture and creates new bespoke pieces. RxSin Scéal Eile - That's Another Story was hosted and created by Ruth Medjber, with sound by Ronan Lally.

Jun 800:21:09Tap to summarizeStevie is a new Dad and is taking stock on all that means and how his life and perspective has changed. While also taking us on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey with a story about his own Dad. What we leave with is a story of hope…and Star Wars.
