In this debut episode of this historical archive, travel back to 1878 with the founding of the Presentation Brothers and hear stories of explorations of Presentation Brothers from Brother Martin and Brother Matthew who travelled the world in a time much different to now. Take a step back in time to Cork in the early 1900’s with historian and current Lord Mayor Kieran McCarthy who paints a picture of the Mardyke Walk and city as it was way back then. Brother Jerome Kelly features through a reading from ‘Gentlemen of the Presentation’ and finally current Deputy Principal, Enda O'Regan describes a year he spent with the Presentation Brothers in St Lucia at the start of his career.

This podcast is presented by PBC alumni George Hook and Ronan McAuliffe. It was produced by PBC teacher Éanna O'Loinsigh with Elaine Smith on sound and post production and piano composition by PBC student Liam Ring. Thank you to our contributors for sharing the stories and fond memories and to Presentation Brothers College Cork for their continued support.
