Live in Ennis
I live in NYC and listened to this episode as I was walking along the path by the Hudson River yesterday. I was so moved that I had to sit on a bench and listen. Each segment was spectacular but I loved the donkey one most of all. Thank you so much for making my walk so special.
Appreciation from across the pond.
Just a fantastic program. From HF/VHF to podcasts, RTÉ and Sunday Miscellany has been a companion to me for more years than I care to count. What a wonderfully entertaining program. How lucky am I to be able to listen from so far away, and for a short time I am transported to another world through the beautifully crafted words and stories. Always something new and captivating.
