    Episode 80 — Joe Maxi and the Hailers

    Episode 80 — Joe Maxi and the Hailers Philip loses his guitar. Jim loses the plot. And somewhere in Dublin, a taxi driver may unknowingly be sitting on the next great Temple Barred mystery. After a night involving a gig, David Bowie’s legendary drummer Woody Woodmansey, a taxi and an entire load of missing musical equipment, the boys follow the trail of CCTV, taxi numbers and unanswered questions. From there, the conversation goes everywhere: ADHD, ADHD medication, childhood, education, alcohol, coping mechanisms, trauma, spirituality, faith, luck and synchronicity. Jim and Philip also get deep into consciousness, spiritual awakening, DMT, meditation, breathing, the ego, the straw man fallacy and why we’re all so desperate to be right. There’s plenty of music chat too — Katy Tunstall, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and David Bowie — and the bizarre interconnected web of influence running through music and culture. And underneath it all is one question: Are the things that happen to us simply random… or are they all part of the same journey? ADHD, spirituality, consciousness, music, philosophy, Irish life, missing guitars and Joe Maxi and the Hailers. The Dualities are collapsing. Stay bold.

    Rat in me kitchen —Episode 79— Rats, grandkids, AI, Ed Sheeran and the choice

    TEMPLE BARRED PODCAST — EPISODE 79 🐀 RAT IN MY KITCHEN The Dualities are collapsing… and apparently there was a rat living in Jim’s kitchen. 😂 After a little break, Jim & Phil are back — and they’ve got plenty to unpack. Jim tells the full story of the surprisingly intelligent rat that moved into his home, stole spaghetti, built a stash under the fridge and sent the whole house into lockdown. From rats and fear to becoming a granddad, the lads explore how even the things that frighten us can become opportunities to look inward. From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into the recent controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and political expression on stage, before widening into questions about Palestine and Israel, free speech, outrage, tribalism and the dangers of dehumanising anyone who sees the world differently. Then it gets even bigger… Immigration and Irish politics, Donald Trump and a United Ireland, the collapse of old Catholic/Protestant divisions, AI, nuclear weapons, power, fear and the possibility that humanity is heading towards a completely different form of communication. There’s also a wild Temple Bar story involving an American family, a dance floor, a camera and a holiday that took a very unexpected turn. 😂 And finally, the conversation comes back to the central theme running through it all: Are we acting from love or from fear? Identity, ego, addiction, death, consciousness, grief, the nature of reality and the idea that beneath all our roles, beliefs and labels, there is simply consciousness experiencing itself. A mad one. A deep one. A very Temple Barred one. The Dualities are collapsing. Stay bold. 🍀

    Falling Slowly — Ego, Perspective, Fight or Flight & Choosing Love | Temple Barred Podcast #78

    Falling Slowly — Ego, Perspective, Fight or Flight & Choosing Love | Temple Barred Podcast #78 After a summer hiatus, Temple Barred is back for Season 3 — and the boys are straight back into the deep end. Episode 78 begins with a tribute to Glen Hansard, reflecting on his influence on Irish music, the connections he created across generations of musicians, and the unexpected ways music can leave a mark on our lives. From there, Jim Win and Philip Noone get into a much deeper conversation about ego, the “monkey mind”, self-awareness and the different versions of ourselves we become throughout life. They explore how unresolved experiences can manifest as tension, anger, resentment and anxiety, and how the body can hold onto things long after the mind has moved on. The conversation moves into fight-or-flight, social media algorithms and the way our feeds can distort our perception of reality, making the extremes seem far more representative of the world than they actually are. The lads also tackle perspective and polarisation — why we become so attached to our own opinions, why we assume people who disagree with us must be wrong, and why recognising that everyone sees the world through their own lens might be the beginning of something closer to harmony. They talk about past versions of ourselves, changing paths, addiction, judgement, forgiveness and meeting people where they are, before arriving at one of the central ideas of the episode: We all contain both light and darkness. The question is which part we choose to reflect back into the world. Plus plenty of the usual Temple Barred chaos — gig stories, The Commitments, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan, Venom, aliens, Cape Fear, Irish trad musicians, questionable film recommendations and the search for a new producer for Season 3. From Glenn Hansard to the ego, from fight-or-flight to social media, from the paths we’ve taken to the people we’re still becoming — Falling Slowly is a conversation about change, perspective, acceptance and choosing love. Just another episode of the Temple Barred Podcast. 🎙️ HOSTS Jim Win

    Jayne Pomplas – Irish Music, Creativity, ADHD, Near-Death Experiences & How the World Ends EP76

    In Episode 76 of the Temple Barred Podcast, Jim Win and Philip Noone are joined by phenomenal musician, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jayne Pomplas for a wide-ranging conversation about music, creativity, ADHD, spirituality, quantum physics and the experiences that shape who we become. Growing up in upstate New York, Jayne discovered Irish traditional music at an incredibly young age, learning by ear through the Suzuki method before travelling regularly to Ireland and eventually making the life-changing decision to move to Ennis at just 17 years old. Jayne shares her journey through the close-knit world of Irish traditional music, her experiences performing around the world, and her remarkable ability to move effortlessly between musical styles. From traditional Irish sessions to recording with artists including Mick Pyro and The Darkness, Jayne discusses life as a session musician and the unique challenge of finding your own artistic voice when versatility has always been one of your greatest strengths. The conversation turns to creativity, songwriting and Jayne’s upcoming album, This Is How the World Ends — a deeply personal collection of songs exploring growing up, identity, change and learning to create without placing limitations on yourself. Jayne also opens up about her ADHD diagnosis, sensory overload and the decision to radically change the way she was living and working. She reflects on how stepping away from relentless pub gigs gave her the space to write, create and reconnect with the parts of herself that had been pushed aside. From there, things go full Temple Barred. The conversation dives into spirituality, mythology, quantum physics, consciousness, psychedelics and Jayne’s extraordinary near-death experience — an event in which she describes the sensation of her physical self dissolving into something far greater, leaving her with a profoundly different perspective on life, death and the nature of consciousness. Along the way, the lads and Jayne somehow find time to discuss Irish music in Oman, terrifying family road trips across America, cruise ships following the route of the Titanic, lightning strikes, the 27 Club, nepo babies, Norah Jones, Ravi Shankar and why Jim suddenly knows far more about thunderstorms than he did before the podcast began. Jayne also talks about working with David Keenan, recording an album live in the studio, her upcoming performances and the release of This Is How the World Ends. Music, madness, creativity, consciousness and the collapsing dualities of existence. Just another episode of the Temple Barred Podcast.
