Episode 38.5 - Tailc Son Of Treon - Post Show Chat

This story is a bit mad and the main thing we will talk about is probably how we did it/ how we do the music for the podcasts in general.

Saying that I think it will be messy if we have four voices talking about the topics on this story. So I suggest that I to Sorcha for a half hour first on a couple of the following ideas, and then at half one Ru and Oisin come in to offer the musical perspective:

Themes in this story:

After a quick re-cap of this story we talk about the following:

Notes I want to mention briefly - the Native American relief thing which is great, the closing down of Bewleys in Dublin, and the Darkness into light this week. Bealtaine and the rest....

The abusive relationship element that appears at the start.

The idea of disposable warriors/young men in war (this jumped out at me as a thing in this). Survival of the tribe depends on the sacrifices of young men - .... thoughts?

Then that can lead us to Grainne and her position in this story. Her sympathy of the grieving wife and her lament.

The lack of a second source and the difficulty we had with getting the story right due to its weird beats - the rythm and the moods.

This last one brings in the lads to talk about:
