The Story Relived | A Storytelling Podcast

Hello everyone!

So it’s been a while since I’ve posted my usual kind of stuff here. Apart from a brief period where I wasn’t writing much, the latter half of last year was spent in investing my time into learning the ins and outs of podcasting.

In January of this year, I began a storytelling podcast called The Story Relived. It’s my newest venture into storytelling, telling tales of real people and events in a way that blurs the line between fact and fiction. The first period of the podcast will focus around Irish people or events in Ireland.

The episodes/stories are short, (6-10 minutes), so if you have a few spare minutes, please give it a go and let me know what you think! I’ve included the first episode here:

The first two episodes are up, and the third will be released on Sunday, February 25th.

Episodes will be released on the second and last Sunday of each month and is available on the platforms below!

iTunes | Stitcher | Spotify | TuneIn | YouTube | SoundCloud | Libsyn

Cheers,

Gerard
