I’ve just listened to an excellent documentary about Lanier Phillips, the US Navy’s first black sonar technician. You should listen to it too.
Here’s a 39 minute podcast about Witchcraft (mp3) from the RTÉ Documentary on One series. It was first broadcast in 1976. The first half of the documentary is enlightening, explaining what and how witches worship, but the discussion on black magic is disturbing. The guy who was confident he had killed people with magic was [...]
Charlie Chaplin, the star of silent movies of a bygone era spoke with a Kerry accent. Well, he did when he spent time in the town of Waterville in that county of Ireland. So his daughter says in this RTE documentary called “Kerry and the Tramp”. It’s a wonderful documentary to listen to, especially as [...]
Derek Mooney of “Mooney Goes Wild” on Radio 1 has a robin cam pointing at a nest in his utility room. It’s the usual webcam quality but it’s good enough that we were able to see the mother robin arrive and feed her chicks. See the Mooneycam for links to this camera and a blue [...]

Oh dear. Dustin will be singing for Ireland at the Eurovision this year. I think we could win. Maybe.
You probably remember the Web 2.0 bubble video that did the rounds recently. Funny wasn’t it? Unfortunately the authors of that video never asked for permission to use many of the photos featured in it. Jim asks if that was fair? Lane Hartwell is one of those photographers. She wrote of her frustration with people [...]
It’s easy to find cocaine in Ireland: You’ll find it in the autopsy reports of Katy French (24), John Grey (23), and Kevin Doyle (21) unfortunately. Go to your local pub. A recent investigation of 1,200 social venues found traces of cocaine in many of them. I wish the how to make cocaine video was [...]
