Welcome to our thirteenth episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast!

For today's instalment, we'll be digging into what life in rural Ireland is like from the perspective of a couple city slickers! There are enough ups and downs, and sights and sounds to keep someone on their toes, and no shortage of things to keep busy with. We've made friends with the locals (both human and otherwise), and faced off against some less-than-friendly neighbours (of the fuzzy persuasion), all of which ultimately culminating in a truly memorable and uniquely Irish perspective on this particular slice of Irish life!

Hosted by Emma and Jake DeSouza, follow their musings from the island of Ireland on life, politics, art, culture, history, and more. With insight and analysis from Jake, a musician and artist from Los Angeles, who moved to Northern Ireland only to find himself metamorphosised into an over-night rights campaigner when he married his Irish better half Emma - together, they won unprecedented rights for the people of Northern Ireland after taking on the British government, and now look to examine topics and ideas of all kinds, each and every week with their listeners!

Welcome to our eleventh episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast!

On today's well-overdue episode, we'll be starting a discussion about this island's future. There's no secret that the two of us hope to see a united Ireland, but how would it work? And how do we get there? The first in a series, the main focus of this introductory instalment is upon discussion surrounding what needs reworked - both North and South, and what we look forward to once all the pieces are reassembled. We also repeatedly and unapologetically mispronounce Claire Byrne's name.

Welcome to our tenth episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast!

There are few as skilled in the art of whataboutery as those who’ve made a career of it as Northern Irish political representatives. In today’s episode, we’ll be taking a look at the issues inherent when political representatives fail their communities in order to preserve the archaic status quo they rely on. We’ll also be discussing recent political and social changes in Northern Ireland, and examining both their causes and effects.

Welcome to our ninth episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast! In this belated and well-overdue episode, we will be discussing the role that artificial intelligence plays in politics, and in everyone's day-to-day lives. We'll be exploring some of the various upsides and downsides of life during the rise of the machines, and what we as a society can do to avoid being made redundant by Skynet.

Welcome to our eighth episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast! In this episode we will be delving into the subject of ignorance, specifically the lack of knowledge and awareness of all things Northern Ireland. From the benign to the malevolent, the incidental to the intentional, ignorance takes many forms. We're all guilty of it to some extent, but few regions possess a history so entwined with the phenomenon as our wee chunk of land.

Welcome to our seventh episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast! In this episode we tackle the subject of political ideologies. This complex combination of values and beliefs is at the heart of politics and life as we know it in Northern Ireland. Every society contains a varied mix of belief systems and political ideologies but in Northern Ireland it can often seem like there are only two options- unionist and nationalist, 'ussens vs themmuns'. We discuss why this region continues to be viewed through this binary lens with some insight and comparison as to how political ideologies in the United States may differ.

Welcome to our fifth episode of the Hollywood to Holywood podcast! In this instalment, we'll be diving into the subject of lockdown, how it has impacted us and the rest of the community, and the lengths we go to entertain ourselves while cooped up for months on end. At the bottom of the show notes you'll find a fairly comprehensive list of movies and tv shows which we indulged in during our many nights in, some less-than-proud choices included, but also with the exclusion of a few titles a bit too embarrassing to list - one such lengthy television series took up an inordinate quantity of pages within our viewing history, but shall remain nameless at the request of a visibly ashamed Emma.
