It’s fun, informative and has renewing my appreciation for the Irish language.
Love the interplay of the hosts and their senses of humor. Will miss it greatly when it wraps up - any chance you’ll reconsider? Or revive it at some point? Hoping so! (Edited Oct 2023: What a delight to see a new episode come back from the dead and pop up in my feed this morning! I hope you will continue to release these every now and then - you are beloved and missed!)
Stumbled across this pod recently. First episode was the Blindboy one which was great. Shows like this are great for curing work-related boredom.
I love this podcast that I have just discovered. It opens up so many inroads to learning about and loving modern Irish language in its cultural context. Funny, entertaining in every episode. I still recommend it to enjoy the great fun while it lasted.
I've come late to this, and accidentally but loving the content so far. Google translate warnings were issued to my kids in the UK by French & Spanish teachers also
