Join us, April and Laura, as we take you on an adventure through the magic of Ireland! In this episode, we’re heading up Slievenamon, one of Ireland’s most iconic mountains. With its stunning views and rich history, Slievenamon is woven into Irish folklore, and we’re digging into the stories that make it so special.

It’s April and Laura, and we’re so excited to bring you our first episode all about the breathtaking Comeragh Mountains in County Waterford. We’re diving into the history of the range, chatting about how these stunning peaks are shaped (spoiler alert: glaciers were involved), and sharing some of the local lore that makes this area so special.

But the real treat? We’re telling the story of Ned Curran—a man whose legend looms as large as the mountains themselves. Was he a rogue, a hero, or just someone with powers? You’ll have to listen and decide for yourself!

Strap yer boots and join us for a chat full of history, laughs, and a dash of Irish mischief. We can’t wait to hear what you think!
