“Growing Up Poor in Irish Boston” is a podcast series, colored with humor, nostalgia and pathos. It’s about a Boston tenement kid, born in 1939, clawing his way out of poverty by being hard-working, creative, persistent, entrepreneurial and by taking risks often. There are also stories of my later life in Boston, Cambridge and New England. If you like old Boston stories or Irish-American stories or old Cambridge stories, this is your podcast. If you like Pull-Yourself-Up-By-The-Bootstrap type stories and/or down-to-earth philosophy with a Roman Catholic, funny and relatively conservative slant, then this is for you.

I am Roderick Patrick Murphy, born into a large, loving Irish family in Boston, widowed after 50+ happy years. So I am now doing some writing, volunteering and learning how to be a bachelor again.

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
