    a family moves on05 Nov 202500:07:52

    Abandoned cottages speckle the Mayo countryside. Combining the hard evidence of census records, maps and onsite investigations with imagined, fact-based dialogue, I attempt to bring one home, and the people who lived there, back to life, if only for a few moments.

    In 2018, the buzzard's shadow once again fell upon our corner of the west of Ireland. These are my reflections on their homecoming.

    a thousand paces16 Jun 202600:10:17

    A walk of a thousand paces, part nature observation, part a mythology of my own creation. Looking at the landscape through a different lens.


    Acknowledgements


    My thanks to Phil Barnett, Louise Mee and Micki Colbeck, whose generous reading improved this piece.


    This piece was deeply inspired by the Metrical Dindshenchas, a text compiled between the 11th and 14th centuries that records Ireland’s much older oral traditions.  https://celt.ucc.ie/published/T106500C.html 


    This episode draws inspiration from the Songlines of the Australian First Nations peoples, the oldest continuous narrative geography on Earth. I acknowledge their custodianship of a landscape where every path carries a living voice. https://deadlystory.com/page/culture/Life_Lore/Songlines 


    Acknowledgement is also given to the enduring creation narratives of the Haida Nation, who celebrate the figure of Raven, the masterful trickster whose curiosity coaxed humanity into being from a simple clamshell.  https://moa.ubc.ca/2020/01/the-raven-and-the-first-men-from-conception-to-completion/

    a year in Vermont30 Dec 202500:05:50

    As the year turns, let's turn our ears beyond the patch to listen to something different. A special episode to explore a year in Vermont with Micki Colbeck.

    the stonechat field18 Dec 202500:07:52

    In the summer, I walked down to my favourite place in the world to listen and to observe. Being not doing.

    grass06 May 202600:13:13

    Mostly ignored, but silently growing all the time. The grass under our feet can be an unexpected source of much interest.

    swallows arrive15 Apr 202600:08:24

    It is always special to welcome the swallows back after their long journey from the south. They have cpatured our imaginations for millennia, and there is much to learn about these fork-tailed beauties.

    Some birds have a simple calls but these often hold an iconic position in our collective memory. Let's listen to these two-note troubadours.

    the sappers mark11 Mar 202600:12:59

    I explore how Ireland’s historical maps serve as more than just navigational tools, revealing the deep, often complex stories etched into our landscape. By retracing the steps of 19th-century surveyors, I examine the intersection of culture, colonial history, and personal memory.

    Spring a time of birth and life, but also of death. Seeing the signals, listening to the sounds.

    the well at Carn28 Jan 202600:13:52

    As the wheel turns toward St. Brigid’s Day and the ancient festival of Imbolc, I mark the traditional arrival of spring with a visit to a local holy well. Join me as we explore the intersection of landscape, ritual, and history. A special note of thanks to Jim O'Connor for his knowledge and poetry reading.
