Erin's Isle takes you beyond the shillelaghs and the shamrocks in stories that will make you feel like you are there. Plus, you'll get to know the real people who live here and both the authentic and the offbeat you won't want to miss when you travel here yourself.

    I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. I subscribe and listen every week. The mix of narration and interviews is perfect for the subject. I’ve visited Ireland twice and this podcast brings it all back to me in a lovely way.

  • Lovely journey through Ireland

    I have the pleasure of following Erin’s work in Reno for many years and “knowing” her through my mother. I was delighted to meet Erin in Galway when I was traveling through and admired her for taking this journey in life. The podcast reflects her curiosity about people and places and introduces listeners to those we would not otherwise learn about. I look forward to new episodes every week and can’t wait to go back to Ireland for a more leisurely trip. Best of luck, Erin!

  • Been There..Done That! Now she takes me back!

    Listening to the tales told by Erin certainly returns me to the one place to which I need and want to return. The music and sounds of the Sea you hear can only be realized again if you have been there and done that. Erin tells if a place that is part “Fairy Tale” and so real and believable. I now yearn to return to the places I’ve been and those I haven’t been to in Ireland. I get so lost in the stories and can picture the day when I too return to the land of my ancestors. Thank you Erin, f... more

  • sweet stories

    Everyone knows the usual highlights of a trip to Ireland, but Erin goes beyond the brochure 'must see' features to the quieter delights. She knows what a story is, finds one around every corner, and takes the time to tell it well.

    Definitely off the beaten track and well worth it.
