A history- and culture-forward show led by two Galway writers, focusing on local lore, historic industries, and the city's social fabric. Episodes weave archival stories, personal anecdotes, and context on Galway's neighborhoods, landmarks, and events—from textile mills and railways to canals, sports venues, and traditional arts. The style blends wit with long-form storytelling, making complex local history accessible and charming for listeners with strong ties to Galway or a passion for place-based storytelling. Noteworthy is the duo's deep, decades-spanning knowledge and their collaborative, conversational approach that makes Galway's past feel immediate and relevant to contemporary life.
