Listening to Blow-Ins is a joy. It’s like sitting between two friends who see Ireland through very different, but complementary lenses. Craig brings a historian’s depth and precision to his stories and Kara adds her love of more individual-focused anecdotes. Their banter and laughter is engaging and brings a balance to every day life, but a “fresh” look at Ireland— coming from the outside in. Whether you’re an expat or a local, you will appreciate the warmth with which they lead you through familiar and fascinating areas— both physically and emotionally.

Episodes are perfectly-sized treats. Both hosts feel at ease on the mic and manage to distill their unique perspectives as outsiders to arrive at something really novel.

I can relate to these guys. With a perfect blend of humor, charm and heartfelt insights, these two bring fresh outsiders’ perspectives on life in Ireland. Listening is like sitting down for a chat with good friends. It’s a quirky slice of the beauty of Irish life, whether you’re Irish or expat! Thanks for the excellent storytelling.
