In a special second bonus episode, Shannon enlists the help of Caragh and Aisling to test a new segment for Season 2: Shan Uses Her Degree. The three gals chat about Newgrange in County Meath, a UNESCO site that tells us a lot about life 5,000 years ago and leaves modern humans marveling at the winter solstice.

Thanks for listening, and happy holidays x

Hey everyone, Shannon is signing off and on for the last time this season as she tends to some personal matters. Sometimes shit happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thank you so much for your continued support throughout this season as Shannon has explored a new interest and learned new things. Next season will be bigger and better, as there will be a lot of learning and planning in the meantime. Stay tuned xx

After a 6-week hiatus, Shannon is back and catching you up on what's been happening the past few weeks. Visa updates, travel updates, life updates, Shan has them all. It's not always easy living abroad, and Shannon is opening up about some of the difficulties during her break.

Shannon's back after a week hiatus with her friend Eavan to chat about what it's like to be a 20-something in America and Ireland. Are the expectations similar? Do Shannon and Eavan feel there are certain pressures on being in their 20s? Do they want to be 30?

In this ep, Shannon begins to talk about a favorite topic: food. Well sort of, because halfway through she realizes she doesn't really know what she's talking about and may have to do this in a part two.

In what is likely part one of a few, Shannon begins to tackle drinking culture with her first Irish guest, Bryan! Covering everything from lock-ins to car bombs (stop ordering them!), the pair have a few and get to chatting about drankin.

This week, as she marks the halfway point of the season, Shannon addresses some feedback from last episode. If you'd like to learn more from a podcast that centers on topics of race and Ireland, Shannon recommends The Black & Irish Podcast. For this week's topic, Shannon gives advice on cost of food if you're planning a trip to Ireland.

In this episode, Shannon welcomes her first guests, Naeha and Tim! Tackling a question from a fellow ex-pat, the three dive into getting mocked for being American and how they handle talking about race and racism outside of America. Apologies for the background noise - editing is hard work!
