He’s travelled up and down the country seeking strange, curious, and lesser-known places, traditions, and stories of Ireland to share through is book, podcast, and on his social media channel ‘Weird Ireland’. From holy wells to endemic Irish fast food, reviving traditions like mumming and collar and elbow wrestling, magic hills, cryptids, historical sites, the whole lot.

And in this personal show he’s going to give you the rundown to what makes Ireland unique, fascinating, and even weird.
