  • Irish folk song and the feeling of leaving home - interview with sean nós singer Chan Reid

    Irish folk song and the feeling of leaving home - interview with sean nós singer Chan Reid
    Dec 23 2025
    In this episode I talk with Irish sean nós (old-style) singer Chan Reid about the experience of living as an immigrant far from one’s ancestors, and how experiences of migration and dislocation resonate in the heart of Irish traditional song and music. Chan sings some heart-cracking-open songs, and even obliges me by explaining how Irish traditional singers do the “diddly bits” that make sean nós songs sound so unbelievably cool.

    Wolf at the door - interview w/ Scottish storyteller Dougie Mackay
    Feb 20 2025
    In this episode I speak with Scottish storyteller Dougie Mackay about the troubled relationship between humankind and wolves in the British isles, and how we might revive the days when culture was shared with entertainment and joy at the centre.
