Runaway Joe

Documentary on 1 is normally well put together and entertaining. Runaway Joe however was melodramatic and badly edited as it was drawn out instead of maintaining the usual high standards we have come to expect from RTE’s Doc on One it sounded instead like the dross we have come to expect from American made podcasts. 2 out of 5 for effort.

Stories from an Ireland that no longer exists

I love listening to this podcast, especially the stories from pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland. It’s astonishing to me that as recently as the early ‘90s, Ireland was very much a different place to what we know now. These stories provide an insight into a world that, as an American, didn’t exist for me while I was growing up. Thank you for sharing and for allowing so many people to tell their stories.

Love this podcast

A great podcast. No glimmer or softening but tells you about a significant period in Irish history. Very non partial to either side.

This American Life meets Ireland

Less whimsy but more a vivid and lush snapshot of an Irish event or situation. It feels like being transported to that time. It’s special, give it a go.

Beautifully told stories by ordinary yet extraordinary people

I fell in love with all things Irish when I traveled alone many years ago. Since then I have been seeking out Irish story telling forever. This is the best podcast I found so far. When I listen to their stories, I feel like I am right there in the room with the narrator.

Best I've heard

I stumbled across this podcast and am grateful I did. Amazing in everyway. The sound could be a little clearer in some and the volume can be quiet low but that aside it's a wonderful way to relax and open my mind.

Incredible

This podcast is wonderful. My commute flies by every day because I have all of these amazing stories to listen to. It's like having a carpool full of interesting and fascinating people. There is something for every one here.

great way to pass the time

I love this podcast, someone else compared it to the Irish version of An American Life, I agree. There is a wide variety of stories and people that you get to meet. I am sorry to say that I have caught up with the series and now must wait for new downloads. Great way to spend my time in traffic on the Long Island Expressway. Thanks for sharing these on iTunes

Ten Minutes from Kenema

Loved this episode. The narrator/producer is a close friend of mine but all biases aside I think it was very instructive to learn just how different childbirth experiences can be depending on where you live. Its a stern warning for anyone who thinks the government should have no role in healthcare.

Understand your heritage

This is one of the most interesting and unbiased media documentary series I have ever listened to. The subjects are vastly different and always presented in an nonjudgemental fashion. If you are interested in a better understanding of your Irish heritage, this is truly worth the time. And, since my late mother was from Leitrim, I love the sounds of the voices. Great podcast!

This Irish Life

This is the best podcast I've heard so far. I love the different narrators and the stories are intriguing and touching. It feels like Ireland's version of, "This American Life".

A gem, worth it if you can get past the accents and audio

This has become a very personal joy for me. Not polished, sometimes the audio is frustratingly low. But the people and stories are sometimes powerful and always very real. Actually when "production" appears it takes away for me. It's certainly not "This American Life" - thankfully. Highlights for me are the "Drugs, liver.." etc. episode about a '60s band in the mode of the commitments.

Documentary on One

I stumbled across this podcast site accidently and now I am a devoted listener.Each podcast is different but everyone has been riveting. "Soul wings" and the "The Orphans That Never Were" have not left my mind. For anyone who loves listening to real people tell wonderful stories of their lives and local history, I highly recommend Documentary On One.
