You’re invited to an Irish adventure. From a small island in the Atlantic Ocean - off West Coast of Europe - Hyperlocal podcasting from Cork. Your host is poet Paul O’Mahony - language is fluid & melodic (sometimes) - value-laden & political (othertimes) - This is for people who crave detail, not generalisations. Often there's drama & opera - depression & resurrection - dog-walking & fatherhood - poetry & fantasy - Above all, you'll find this podcast predictably imaginative
Recorded on 31st October - the day before November Podcasting Month began. Paul O'Mahony speaks about what he's going to do during November.
"Buck Mulligan frowned at the lather on his razonblade ... O, an impossible person! he exclaimed."
This is a reading of about five pages from the start of James Joyce's novel.
There are a few words that are new to me: "scutter" - "Epi oinopa ponton" - "Thalatta" - "hyperborean" - "breeks" - "Dottyville" - "oxy" - "jalap" - "Ades of Magdalen" - "motes of grasshalms" - "omphalos" - "Lalouette"
Recorded on 4th June - #AudioMo Day 4 - in Lagos, Portugal
Nik Lakhani drives the conversation - innuendo after innuendo awaits you. The identity of the champion of New Zealand is almost revealed. Paul O'Mahony & Nik travelling into Galway - past signs to Loughrea (where there is a Toastmasters club) & Ardrahan (where the cheese comes from).
Warning: there is no swearing in this episode.
Warning: this episode is all football. There's a lot of excitement. Noise too. "How is your heartbeat Nik Lakhani?" Recorded during the live penalty shoot-out between Liverpool & Chelsea. You hear Nik call it. Paul O'Mahony asks Nik "Who should take the penalties?" You hear every single penalty from inside the Muskerry Arms pub in Blarney village. Ted Mellamphy's delighted.
There may be some swearing. #TheLakhaniRoadshow
In Muskerry Arms Pub in Blarney Village - the excitement overwhelms Nik Lakhani, Ted Mellamphy & Paul O'Mahony. Will Liverpool beat Chelsea? You hear the sound of a rowdy public house. The topic: "How are you feeling about your team today?" You hear Nik's response. You also hear Nik say "I have to come back to Blarney".
"What do you think of the Guinness" asks Paul. "Are you going to keep on drinking Bulmer's cider?" The conversation jumps on to Uzbekistan - especially Uzbekistanian apples.
