In this, the first conversation episode of my journey through rediscovering home, I chat with my childhood friend Edmund. We reminisce on the parts of us rooted in the landscape of our past, what nature might be able to teach us and explore our mutual appreciation for Irish philosopher and storyteller, John Moriarty.

Recorded on the West Coast of Ireland in February 2025. Withmy mind trying to catch up with my body after returning to Ireland, in this episode I try to make sense of why I’m on this journey. I reflect on Irish Trad music and wildlife, Irishness and what’s it’s like to return to Ireland with the backdrop of the slightly unfamiliar landscape of the West Coast.

Recorded in Brisbane, Australia in September 2024 before returning to Ireland.

In this episode I invite you to join me at the beginning of my journey to rediscover my homeland, Irishness, myself in the context of familiar landscape and how we might look to the ground under our feet for deeper understanding, meaning and connection.
