    Our most requested interview: John O'Donohue

    The Irish poet John O'Donohue is in a league of his own here at Tapestry — he stars in the single most requested episode we’ve ever broadcast.

    O’Donohue, an ex-priest, was also a beautiful writer, and a wildly eloquent partner in conversation. Talking to Mary Hynes in 2004, O’Donohue shares his poetry and soulful wisdom about what it means to live a good life and die a good death.

I will miss Mary Hynes’s incredible talent to thoughtfully ask the most insightful queries.
You exude compassion, I’m sad. Take care Mary.

Final words

Such a loss for Tapestry to be coming to an end!
And old episodes removed from the podcast-why?

You will be missed Mary
