Random Irish Podcasts

Trish & Marie serving up pop culture musings with our own Donegal/Mayo (i.e. rural Irish) POV.

Think of No Other Craic as a lighthearted, bite-sized magazine in your ears; bringing you our own brand of ‘craic’ to keep you company on your walk/journey!

From our own version of the TV guide (our latest streaming service show obsession) to what’s going on in the world wide web, our top tier recommendations ranging from skincare to life hacks, and FOOD – as well as shop local shout outs, a tonne of 90’s nostalgia – and no doubt lots of endless weird and wonderful topics in between.

Life is chaotic (…and, so is this podcast!) No Other Craic has been created to bring a slice of lighthearted conversational escapism from us, to you!

We hope you enjoy –

Please connect and continue the craic over on our Instagram @nothercraic_pod

Thanks a million –

Trish & Marie

For People Who Like The Heels of Bread is a collection of short stories, recollections, anecdotes about my immediate and extended family. Youngstown, Ohio, the middle-child dying steel town between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, was rich in its variety of ethnic groups and churches, especially Catholic ones like ours, and it had plenty of bars and taverns… and it was all we knew, so it was the whole world to me. Some members of my family refused to eat the heels of bread, but then there were those of us who gave in…

Belfast-born Melbourne-based songwriter and producer Andy White has a new podcast series based around the writing and recording of ‘AT’, the album he released with Tim Finn earlier this year.

As in the first series, when he went track by track with latest solo album ‘This garden is only temporary’, Andy looks at a song a week to show how layers of lyrics and music work together, ideas appear, and surprises are welcomed.

In both series, Andy plays excerpts from the master tapes and discusses process, influences and inspirations. Each episode ends with a different version of the song from the one you’ll find on the released recording.

If the underlying theme of Series 1 was “How to make an album”, Series 2 is “How to co-write an album”. There are even more ways to write songs or record when two people are involved. And if you are old friends and bandmates, you don’t need to be in the same room together.

“If you want to express something but don’t know how to express it—tell the truth. This is powerful.”

The Blarney Pilgrims Podcast is a weekly journey to the heart of Irish music. We interview players of Irish music about how they first came to the music and the place it occupies in their lives now. We use the word ‘heart’ intentionally, because heart is what this music, and the people who play it, are all about. It’s a funny, warm and often unexpected journey – and the tunes are crackin’ too. NOTE: Hey there – it’s Darren and Dom here. So…we want to let you know that last week was the last episode (Ep 94) of the Blarney Pilgrims Podcast for now. We’ve come to a point where we’ve both decided to take a long pause and focus on a few other things. Knowing how much the podcast means to you all, it’s a decision we’ve been really reluctant to take. What we DO know is how massively grateful we are for every text, every thumbs up, every raised eyebrow of support we’ve had over the past two years. You are all legends, and we’re forever in your debt. Thanks especially to everyone who’s become a Patron Saint and supported us through the toughest of economic times, and thanks most especially to the musicians. To those who have been so generous to share their tunes and stories with us, and to those who’ve welcomed us into pub sessions and festival gatherings and house sessions and campsite sessions. Wherever in the world we’ve chatted with players of the music, we’ve been made to feel like lifelong pals. It’s a testament to the open heartedness of the communities who keep the music going wherever they are, and we can’t thank you all enough. We hope this archive will remain of use to people even as we’re taking a pause. So – please do stay in touch, don’t be a stranger, and if you see us out and about, do say hello. And we’ll see you when we see you. Dom and Darren.
