We are conditioned to think Magic isn't real.It is just something made up for stories.Or something they used in ancient times to explain the things which lacked reasonable explanation.But what if this wasn't the case.What if we took it as fact that it did indeed exist.That it did play a role in our lives whether we could see it or not.What would this mean for the unexplained.For the blind spots of science.It is the life of a Kilkenny woman which answers these questions for us.This is her story.The music for this episode was written, preformed and produced by Ryhan O'HalloranThe story was researched and scripted by Oran.If you enjoyed this episode, and want to help support the podcast, you can buy us a coffee and www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirish or leave us a review on your podcast app.We the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.

Show notes

What is a cause?Is it something you rally behind for your own sake or for the sake of others?Often the reason you might join a cause is not always the primary aim of the cause.What if you joined a cause for selfish reasons to get what you wanted rather than for the greater good of the cause itself?Would your efforts be enough to get what you wanted?Or would you be better off joining a cause with the same exclusive goals as your own.Although it would be a smaller rallying call, would this joined voice be louder and more powerful?It is the life of a man from Meath which answers these questions for us.This is his story.The music for this episode was written, produced and performed by Ryhan O'Halloran.The story was researched and scripted by Oran.If you want to help support this podcast, you can buy us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirishWe the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.

EP33: He Was My Daddy Oct 17, 2020

Show notes

Often, we view revolutionary figures from the point of view of what they achieved, or what they tried to achieve.We read their quotes, peruse their battles and reminisce over their speeches.Often we forget that they did not just exist in the public world.To raise those who required revolution was not their only role in life.We often fail to recognise that aside from how we knew them, there as another side to them.A side where they were not known as the creators of a new world but rather as a father, or mother, a brother or sister, a friend or colleague.Known as ordinary people who just happened to do extra ordinary things.If ye knew what they were like behind closed doors, would or view of them differ?Would we be more sympathetic to their battles outside the home?Would we view them as people rather than statues awaiting erection?It’s the life of a man born in Cowgate, Edinburgh, which answers these questions for us.This is his story, as told by his daughter Nora.Today's music was written, performed and produced by Ryhan O'Halloran.Nora's words were read by Ann Long.The story was researched and scripted by Oran.You can support this podcast by buying us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirishWe the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.

EP32: The Queen of War Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

As we move through life, we meet different people and learn of the variety of life experiences available to us.Seldom however, do we step outside of our comfort zone to sample something totally alien to our own individual norms.But want if you took a leap of faith and tried something totally new.So new, the world did not know of anyone having tried it before you.So new, you didn't know the names of the places you would go before you left.So new, you didn't know of the inner strength you would be due to find as you developed.Would you take the opportunity, or would you play it safe with what you knew and with what you were accustomed to.What could you achieve with just a simple leap of faith?Its the story of a woman from Cork which answers these questions for us.This is her story.Today's music was written, performed and produced by Ryhan O'Halloran.The story was researched and scripted by Oran.You can support this podcast by buying us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirishWe the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.
