Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of Ireland Creates a podcast about Ireland’s storytellers.

I’m your host Aisling O’ Rourke.

If this is your first time listening, thank you for joining us. Each week I speak with a creative based here in Ireland or with a connection to Ireland about their lives, their creative practice and what storytelling means to them. This is episode 16 so I would encourage you to check out the back catalogue, it’s full of conversations with a selection of Ireland’s talented creators.

On last week’s episode, I asked you to get in contact with me to suggest future guests and emphasised the importance of making the podcast as inclusive as possible and I’d like to thank those of you who got in touch with me to suggest a number of people so I have a great list of future guests for Ireland Creates but that offer remains open, you can contact me through my website www.aislingorourke.com or on Instagram @aislingmakesstories.

This week I speak with Noelle Brown, she has done amazing work as an artist and an adoption rights activist and I hope you go to the Abbey Theatre’s you tube channel to check out her latest project Home Part 1. 

Well, that’s it for this week, I’ll be back next week with another episode of Ireland Creates, in the meantime stay safe and remember to share your story.
