On today’s podcast I chatted with two very special and talented people, the duo behind the new musical project, Hibsen.

Grainne Hunt and Jim Murphy have teamed up to bring the James Joyce book “Dubliners” to life through a special collection of songs inspired by each story in the book.

This project was born during a “Covid lockdown” songwriting workshop and now it comes to life with a new album, ‘The Stern Task of Living’; and live performances which will debut in Smock Alley as part of the Bloomsday Festival.

James Joyve will be happy when he hears this …

On today’s podcast I welcome back Professor Connell Fanning, Director of The Keynes Centre at UCC and co-author of The Leadership Mind.

Books are a key part of the development programme at The Keynes Centre and critically he says “It’s not the book, it’s how it is read” that is important.

Connell describes how we should “read with intent” , developing a dialogue with ourselves, engaging with the author’s mind and he discusses some source thinkers, minds that can help us to refresh our own thinking.

Most importantly, Connell explains the importance of development through adulthood an how reading experiences can play a critical role in this.
