Der Wild Atlantic Way ist mit seinen 2500 Kilometern die längste ausgewiesene Küstenstraße der Welt. Von der  Halbinsel Inishowen im Norden des County Donegals schentlang der irischen Westküste bis ins Küstenstädtchen Kinsale im Süden des County Cork. Irlands Westen verspricht überwältigende Naturschönheit und idyllische Ruhe. Von dieser Landschaft mit ihren Steinmauern, reetgedeckten Cottages, stimmungsvollen Bergen und verlassenen Stränden ließen sich schon Träumer, Landstreicher, Dichter und Maler gleichermaßen inspirieren. Nehmen Sie bei einem Abenteuer am Rande Europas eine Auszeit vom Alltag. Margaret Jenkins kümmert sich vor Ort um die Vermarktung des Abschnitts Galway, Clare, Limerick und kennt die bekannten Attraktionen ebenso wie die Geheimtipps entlang dieser Traumstraße.

Qu’est-ce que réussir ? Fuir son milieu social, sa banlieue périphérique ? Et cette réussite, bien souvent construite par la société, est-elle celle, finalement, qui nous convient ? Quitter son monde d’origine pour en rejoindre un nouveau et finir par se demander auxquels des deux on appartient ? Peut-être à aucun ? 

Nicolas Mathieu est un écrivain français. Son précédent roman, Leurs enfants après eux, paru en 2018, remporte le prix Goncourt la même année. 

Avec Connemara, publié chez Actes Sud, Nicolas Mathieu installe de nouveau ses personnages dans le Grand Est postindustriel, interroge notre rapport au monde du travail et les entreprises qui le composent et explore la mélancolie du temps qui passe pour dresser une chronique sociale. 

« Pourquoi le monde du travail ? Moi, j’essaye de raconter la vie et ça prend quand même une place énorme dans nos existences le travail. Souvent c’est drôle parce que, quand on m’interroge, on me dit "Pourquoi la sensualité ? Pourquoi le travail ?", mon Dieu mais la place que ça prend dans nos existences, vous vous rendez compte ?! » 

Aujourd’hui, Ce qui se lie avec Nicolas Mathieu.

Der Kroate Hrvoje und die deutschen Geschwister Heike und Hauke haben einen ganz besonderen Ausstieg erlebt: Sie wohnten zwischen 5 Monaten und 2,5 Jahren im 14-Personen Schlafsaal in einem Hostel in der irischen Hauptstadt Dublin.

Warum sie dauerhaft freiwillig mit so vielen Menschen im gleichen Raum schliefen und wie sie sich – trotz der Gegebenheiten – Privatsphäre geschaffen haben, davon erzählen sie dir in dieser Episode.

Nebenbei gibt es Tipps für deinen Irland-Trip.

Außerdem wird es romantisch und auch ein wenig schlüpfrig, denn Heike und Hrvoje haben sich nicht nur im Hostel kennengelernt, sondern sich auch ineinander verliebt. Nein! Es war keinesfalls nur eine Hostel-Affäre. Mittlerweile sind sie verlobt und werden 2019 heiraten. Wie man auch im Mehrpersonenschlafsaal mit 12 Mitschläfern, einer davon der eigene Bruder, ein Liebesleben haben kann? Lad dir diese mega lustige Folge am besten gleich herunter, dann erfährst du wie es geht! ;-)

THE CELTIC INVASION OF THE ISLE OF SKYE
I'm going to Scotland in 2018, and I want you to join me. We will experience the Isle of Skye, where the Bonnie Prince Charlie fled with the aid of Flora MacDonald after the defeat of the Jacobite Rising of 1745. The Isle of Skye is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides. Some call it one of the most-beautiful islands in the world. You can join our small group of invaders as we get to Know the region through its culture, history, and legends. Subscribe to the mailing list to join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

James Slaven emailed a couple photos regarding the Thin Veil episode: "Hey, Marc! Great episode this week! Halloween is my favorite time of the year, and you outdid yourself on the song picks for this year's Halloween episode. Listened to it while baking my annual loaf of Barm Brack, the traditional Irish bread of Halloween, although without the bits and bobs inside, as no one eats it but me. I also found a Barm Brack drink recipe that I tried. Irish whiskey, egg, all-spice and more. Interesting! Not sure if I'll make it again. Keep up the great work!"

I got an anonymous text: "Good morning Marc from aboard the MV Coho as I head over to Victoria BC listening to the great pre-Halloween episode. Thanks for the great music and adding to the beauty of the trip."

Patty Bolan emailed a picture: "Hey! My name is Patty, and I've been playing traditional Irish music for most of my life. For the past three and a half months, I've been on the Pacific Crest Trail hiking from Canada to Mexico. I have under 500 miles, or about two weeks, left now. I've started listening to the Irish and Celtic music podcast, and it's so amazing finding new music while hiking and hearing familiar names and people I'm friends with. Here's a picture of me listening while coming down Mt. Whitney!"

HOW DO YOU WRITE WITH RACHAEL HERRON

Have you ever thought about writing? Do you get stuck thinking about "how the heck do real writers write?" Do you plot first? Or do you sit down and see what comes out of your fingertips? How do real writers work every day and how do they keep their motivation going? Novelist and memoirist Rachael Herron is always searching for the magic bullet that will make her own writing easier. Tune in and eavesdrop as she talks to professional writers of all types, from graphic novelists to poets to literary novelists, about their particular, daily processes. https://rachaelherron.com/write/

My two biggest science fiction conventions I play every year are over. So I'm hoping I will finally be able to compile a basic itinerary for the Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye in 2018. I will email around Sept 15th with whatever details I find. Go to http://CelticInvasion.com if you want to be the first to hear about next year's invasion.

I also host Celtfather Music & Travel podcast. I just released a new show where I interviewed Breton musician Dom Duff. He was one of the early contributors to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I was thrilled to talk with him in Brittany. And we also got a concert from him. You can hear a little of my interview and the entire concert over at http://celtfather.com. You don't want to miss this.

If you're a long-time listener, you probably know that I don't speak Gaelic. My friend Rudiger Reinhardt frequently sends me audio files with how to pronounce the names of some of the songs I play in the show. Last week, I relaunched my Duolingo app to try and learn Gaelic. Apparently, there's now a Club that you can join on the app to learn. If you'd like to join the club, you'll find a code on Facebook with details. I'll also post it in the newsletter. Only a limited number of people can be in the club and if you're not trying to learn, you won't get to stay in. So we're gonna push each other and hopefully, we can learn together. Go download the app, then come join me! https://www.duolingo.com/

Nick emailed: "Hey Marc! I'm so excited I found this podcast through a friend in the Merry Wives of Windsor (who you just covered). I'm a huge Irish / Celtic music fan and play a lot of it. I wanted to go out on a limb and see if you'd be interested in featuring or including my band Forkroot in one of your shows. We do a mix of Irish, Folk and Bluegrass. I'll be listening in regardless and am excited to discover more about all the musics out there. Thanks for doing this podcast. Cheers, Nick"

Stuart Jervis emailed from Belgium: "Hi Marc, I'm listening to the 2-hours of Scottish Music episode while preparing the next trip in our Pipers Remembering WWI-project. A fellow piper and I are visiting all WWI Military Cemeteries in Belgium, a list of about 530 places. Keep up the good work as I always enjoy listening to your podcasts.

Ray Chatterton posted on Facebook: "My last name is Chatterton and you cannot get much more English than that, but from my father's side of the family I have Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and a wee bit of German mixed in. Thus my love of this music. I found you by accident, but I adhere to the concept that there are no accidents ... there is only some purpose that we haven't yet understood."

John Thompson emailed: "Just a quick e-mail after listening to show #279. Another great one! A listener commented on the band Scythian. It's pronounced Sith' ee in. They're from the DC area. The founding band members (two brothers and now a sister) actually have Ukrainian heritage. They play quite an assortment of music including Celtic and folk -- traditional, covers, and original material. A band you really need to see live to fully appreciate the energy they bring to their shows. Old Tin Can I think was their latest studio album but they followed that with a live cd called Old Time Good Time Tour. Give it a listen if you get the chance. Keep up the great work!"

Steven Rausch emailed: "You ask what we do when listening to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. Well, I'm in the home stretch of a painting project on my 130-year-old farmhouse. I fire up my headset with your podcast, working my way from the newest to the ones I've enjoyed previously. A great way to work and makes the job go faster and easier. Also, I wanted to highlight a tune by the Elders, "Appalachian Paddy," from a recent podcast. It's a long one but a great story of how the Irish came to my part of the country. Talk about an earworm. Thanks for your work and for making mine go much better."

Maddie Hanlon added a new photo to Facebook: "Thanks for the inspiration, Mark! While listening to episodes 265 and 266 of Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, I finally completed the design and burn for this custom guitar for Aisling Guitars. It's a combination of my husband's family crest - the wild boar - and motifs from the Lindisfarne Gospels. Your podcast has been the perfect companion to my work! Looking forward to the next episode!"

Come along with farm owner and animal trainer, Vickie Maris - also the podcast host of Heartsong Fit - as she cares for her llamas and Connemara pony during evening chores in the extreme cold of winter.

You can learn more about her Dawn of Promise Farm and what it is like caring for livestock in the winter when you visit the the farm website or the Facebook page, https://www.fb.com/dawnofpromisefarm

Whether you're an experienced horseman or still dreaming of owning a pony, you're going to enjoy taking a ride through the llama pasture during Episode 11.

I put my Edirol recorder in my vest pocket so you can hear the footsteps of my Connemara horse, Kerrymor Madison, the creaks of the saddle, the sneezes of the llamas and other ambient sounds of the ride.

This episode is specifically designed to help you relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the moment. If you're not currently giving yourself time to de-stress each day, I hope this ride on Madison plants a seed for something you could begin doing in your journey of self care.

I also recap a keynote presentation given by John Medina during the International Online Learning Conference (OLC). He is the author of Brain Rules and several other interesting books about how our brains work and how we learn. He tells us that the research suggests at least 30 minutes of exercising to get your heart rate elevated on a daily basis is you want to stave off memory loss and keep your mind sharp.

Enjoy!

While the primary content of this episode is recorded on location at Fox Lake Resort in Minnesota, the show starts with a story from our llama farm. You'll learn about one of my protective mama llamas, Velvet, who is still looking out for her daughter, Petals, who has long since grown into an adult llama. As I tell the story, my Connemara pony, Madison, interrupts and tries to get the attention on himself.

Then, at Fox Lake Resort, I visit with Edwin and Sheryl Olson, in Marcell, Minnesota - USA. They share the history of the resort - original structures built completely by hand without electricity by two Frenchmen in the 1930s - and the many ways people enjoy the property for fishing and nature vacations. You'll hear the sounds of a fishing line being cast from the boat during an outing to fish for large mouth bass and northern pike, as well as an eagle chirping from the bank of the lake.

Scott and I have co-written a song, "Minnesota," that is inspired by our trips to Fox Lake Resort.

Would You Like to Hear a Farm Story?
For this episode, I took the handheld recorder out in the snow and sat near the barn with the llamas. My Connemara pony, Kerrymor Madison, stood next to the fence, and our Jack Russell Terrier, Hope, joined the conversation.

You’ll get to learn about life on the farm as I describe our one-eyed llama, Stunning, whom Madison is so careful with as he moves around her. I also describe the coloring of Primary Colors and how we send the fleeces, sheared in the spring, to the mill for processing into roving and yarn.

I also share a story about the harsh 2014 winter and the day we found Lily, the llama, shivering in the barn. Lily got to live in the old farm house for a few hours as she warmed up and enjoyed watching Let’s Make a Deal on the TV. 

Did You Work Out Today?
Vickie encourages you in your fitness journey as she talks about her experience following the schedule in Focus T25 to build cardio, strength, and flexibility. She has finished the first five weeks of Focus T25, or the Alpha section, and has moved on to the final five weeks, or Beta.

My thoughts about Focus T25:  “There are three things that really stand out to me in this program. 1) I love Shaun T. He is an amazing athlete and professional fitness trainer. He keeps me motivated, and, well, focused! I also love that these workouts are designed to be done five days a week and are only 25 minutes each. They fit in my day very well. And 3) the modifier who does a low-impact version of the moves has enabled me to do this difficult program and gradually work up to some of the full versions of the moves. 

“My body has really been toning as I do this program, and the inches are melting from my waist line. Love it! I also keep track of my health stats and track my progress in weight loss, inches lost, my decreasing blood pressure and more. You can set up a free account through my Beachbody website.”  https://www.teambeachbody.com/heartsongfit
