  • Fantastic

    I adore this podcast and all your work. What a tonic amid the noise. New listeners can expect learning, laughter and authentic passion spanning a multiverse of topics from music, mythology, biodiversity, history, psychology, mental health, and neurodiversity…to name a few. Blindboy’s curiosity is boundless. He is compassionate, creative and bloody funny too. Bravo!

    So lovely to listen to these takes on life, events, people, places and the connections. The background piano and calm voice of Blindboy makes this the perfect podcast for late night listening. I’ve listened to each and every episode.

    Loved the history and folklore and tips on Festivals. Those Beresfords were not decent folk. Keep the kisses at the end and gentle music.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Speaking with a professor about the evolution of plants, terraforming planets and extinction events
Q: Is it fair to call that terraforming?
Yes, because it's a transformation of the earth.
Pleasuring myself about sycamore trees above the top of Croagh Patrick
Q: What's the strangest experience that you've had with the podcast?
The concept of fame is strange; I can sell out large venues like the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, while being relatively unknown, which highlights the shift from a monoculture to polyculture in media.
Pleasuring myself about sycamore trees above the top of Croagh Patrick
Q: Is there one episode that is your favorite of all you've done?
I can't answer that question as I've made an episode every week for the past eight years, but the one that pops up is from 2020 called Hieronymus Bosch, because it took me a long time to find the right information before sharing it.
Catherine Connoly
Q: Why do you want to be president of Ireland?
Because I feel we're at a crucial point in our history, where peace has become an unacceptable word, and we have normalized war and genocide.
Catherine Connoly
Q: Do you ever draw upon your background in clinical psychology with the job that you do as a politician or what you might want to bring to the presidency?
Absolutely, but I'd say that I learned empathy on the floor of my house at home with 14 siblings.
