Ep 69---

Our guest this week is Nathan Haynes, a thoughtful and insightful young man who made Boyle his home just over a year ago. With a Master’s in Psychology, Nathan brings a fresh and compassionate perspective to some of the most pressing issues facing younger generations today.

In this episode, we explore the power of human connection, the importance of collective sense-making, and the emotional landscape young people must navigate in today’s world. Nathan works in residential care, supporting teenagers aged 16–18 who, for various reasons, don’t fit into the traditional foster care system.

This is a deep and thought-provoking conversation, and Nathan has a remarkable gift for breaking down complex ideas in a way that’s accessible, relatable, and full of heart. So, I hope you all enjoy the episode and enjoy the rest of your day.

Ep 69---

On this week’s Voices of Boyle episode, I sit down with Ronan Flanagan; a news broadcast journalist, passionate Sligo Rovers supporter, and all-around Boyle native.

Ronan shares stories of growing up on the French Park Road, how a love of the Irish language shaped his journey, and what life’s really like as a local journalist with Ocean FM Ireland. From reporting the news to commentating on thrilling matches and running the Sligo Rovers F.C. Bit o’ Red Supporters Trust podcast, Ronan brings a fresh perspective on community, connection, and adapting to the changing landscape of media.

If you’re curious about what goes on behind the scenes at a radio station, enjoy a bit of GAA or League of Ireland banter, or just want to hear a local Boyle story then this one’s for you!

Give it a listen and tag someone from Boyle who’d love to hear his chat!
