A new pilgrim route will forge connections between Pembrokeshire and Wexford. David Pepper, the new Pilgrimage Officer for the Wales side of the project, encourages community and local businesses to get involved. This exciting new route aims to build on and strengthen historic links between St Davids, Pembrokeshire, and Ferns in County Wexford. The project will be led by The British Pilgrimage Trust (BPT), Pilgrim Paths of Ireland (PPI) and partners with West Wales based Journeying and Guided Pilgrimage.

"I'm delighted to have been appointed Pilgrimage Officer for Pembrokeshire, where I live. My role will be to deliver a full and inspiring pilgrimage programme by engaging with people from all communities."

We kick off 2022 with a vehemently anti-new year, new me leisurely conversation with the incredible Dale Murphy Butler.

Since his last appearance on the podcast Dale has hopped aboard with the Wexford GAA set up and, in this chat, he gives us an insightful look at what’s involved in putting your team in the right position to succeed from a strength and conditioning perspective. Spoiler – it’s not just about the strength and conditioning.

We also discuss the current state of the industry as well as adding 3 more bangers to The Gym Advisors playlist on Spotify.

In this episode, we interview Tom Osha who is the senior vice president of innovation and economic development of the Wexford Science & Technology Institute. We explore what is an innovation district and how the work they are doing at University Of Maryland Bio-Park and other projects can be scaled nationally to expedite the future of industry and innovation.

Andy is joined by Ellen Quinn to talk about her relationship with diets and how she now sees herself as The Anti-Diet Personal Trainer.

We discuss the affects of diet culture on individuals as well as society as a whole and get some awesome tips on how to implement a very simple self-care regime to keep us as calm as possible during these mad times and beyond.

County Wexford singer Michael Londra burst on the scene as the lead singer in the United States tour of Riverdance, the cultural phenomenon that itself inspired all of the Celtic and Irish groups and shows that have also swept the country over the years. He was, by many standards, something of a late bloomer. He was 31 when his career began in earnest.

Since Riverdance, he’s performed in many venues and shows, from Broadway to an acclaimed PBS special in 2011. He’s also a producer of musicals, which his kept him off the road recently. But Londra’s back, and he’s performing—including a show, Michael Londra and the Celtic Fire, at Annenberg Center Live March 16.

We recently interviewed Michael Londra about his life and career. Here’s what he had to say.
