Great podcast! I’m an avid reader of Time Travel Ireland. The photos and stories shared there are just wonderful!
Well done interview, Eoin!
Hi Jody,
We are glad to hear that you have enjoyed our podcast 🙂
Stay tuned for more interesting interviews.
Greetings! Having just come back from Ireland & visited Loughcrew, this podcast was of particular interest.. I had mentioned to my fellow travels when we were driving into Dublin & seeing the construction cranes in the distance that I hoped someone was watching out for what may lay beneath & within the landscape. Consider the ancient sites all around Ireland & those that my have not been ” discovered,” and because thankfully the landscape of Ireland was never bombed like in other parts of the world these places may still be intact holding our history in its mystery. It is reassuring to know there is policy in place to protect these treasures of humanity. Thanks Eoin! I always enjoy your podcasts. They are layered with great information. A jumping point for further investigation. Great job. I look forward to the next one. Slán go fóill!
Hi Micki,
