How Is He Podcast | Ep. 124 

Podge & Guich's guest today is someone who probably needs very little introduction around Carlow & its surrounding areas.

If you've spent any amount of time in Carlow town, chances are you've heard the name Bramley's. And behind that famous name is a family story that goes all the way back to 1946. Bramley's Jewellers was started by Pat's father, Bill, and his mother Maureen. Bill was a watch and clockmaker who made his way from Athy to Carlow, where he eventually set up the business on Dublin Street. And Pat has been right at the heart of that story. 

He grew up over the shop, trained as a watchmaker, came back into the family business and, alongside his wife Dympna, helped take Bramley's through decades of change. He's seen Carlow town change beyond recognition, he's seen the way people shop completely transformed, and he's had to adapt the business while keeping the family tradition alive. 

And today, that tradition continues with the next generation, with Philip and Stuart involved in the business.

This isn't just a story about jewellery. It's a story about family, Carlow, business, hard work, changing times, and keeping a name alive for generations. And the lads would definitely say there are a few stories from living over a jeweller's shop that probably haven't been told publicly yet!

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 119 

Podge & Guich's guest is someone most people in Ireland have checked in with at least once, especially when there's snow on the way, a named storm approaching, or the barbecue plans are hanging in the balance.- From a passion project in County Carlow, to becoming one of Ireland's most trusted independent weather voices, Alan O'Reilly has built Carlow Weather into a daily stop for hundreds of thousands of people looking for clear, honest forecasts without the jargon.

His expertise has seen him become a familiar face across Irish media, appearing regularly on RTÉ television and radio, Virgin Media Television, Today FM, Newstalk, and local radio stations across the country. He's featured in the Irish Independent, the Irish Times, and regional newspapers, and even found himself the subject of a Gift Grub sketch. A sure sign you've become part of Irish popular culture. 

Today, the lads talk about where his fascination with weather began, how Carlow Weather grew into the phenomenon it is today, what it's really like being one of Ireland's best-known weather forecasters, the science behind the forecasts, the big weather events that have defined his career, and what it's like when the whole country is waiting on your next update.
