Gaeilge Thar Lear

In April 2025, I started creating my own podcast called “Gaeilge Thar Lear.” It is an Irish-language podcast about living in Germany as an Irish person, and about the experiences of other Irish people living abroad. It is still at the early stages, and I hope to make many more episodes, but here you can find some episodes of the series.

The podcast is mostly in Irish but the episodes labeled “Níos Éasca” are bilingual Irish-English.

#42 Níos Éasca: Seacht mBliana i ndiaidh GOT | Seven Years after "Game of Thrones" Part 2 – GA-EN – Gaeilge Thar Lear

In Part Two, we arrive at the end – and at the verdict.It is April 2019, and I have just moved to Bonn. Season Eight is airing week by week, and every Monday, while my girlfriend is at work, I am on the sofa with my NowTV pass, going back to Westeros one last time. What I thought of what I found there – and why – is what this episode is about.We talk about Season Eight, about where it went wrong, and when the cracks actually started. About rewatchability, about what a bad ending does to everything that came before it. And about what made GOT genuinely unique – a collective experience that only happens once, and that no amount of disappointment can fully undo.This episode was originally released in Irish in May. I had the script ready, and as I am taking a summer break, I thought it was a good opportunity to release the bilingual version for anyone who enjoys a little English alongside the Irish. I am hoping to be back in September with new episodes.In the meantime, grab a cup of tea and come along for the final chapter.___________________________________________________________________________________________________Sa dara cuid seo, tagaimid go dtí an deireadh – agus go dtí an bhreithiúnas.Tá sé Aibreán 2019 agus táim díreach tar éis bogadh go Bonn. Tá séasúr 8 ag teacht amach seachtain ar sheachtain, agus gach Luan agus mo chailín ag an obair, bím ar an tolg le mo NowTV pass, ag filleadh ar Westeros den uair dheireanach. Cad a cheap mé de cad a fuair mé ann – agus cén fáth – sin an méid atá san eagrán seo.Labhraímid faoi shéasúr 8, faoi cá ndeachaigh sé mícheart agus cathain a thosaigh na cracks i ndáiríre. Faoin rewatchability, faoi cad a dhéanann deireadh olc le gach rud a tháinig roimhe. Agus faoin rud a rinne GOT uathúil i ndáiríre – eispéireas comhchoiteann nach dtarlaíonn ach uair amháin, agus nach féidir le díomá ar bith a chur ar ceal go hiomlán.Eisíodh an eagrán seo as Gaeilge amháin i mí na Bealtaine. Bhí an script réidh agam agus, ós rud é go bhfuil sos samhraidh á ghlacadh agam, shíl mé gur deis mhaith a bheadh ann an leagan dátheangach a chur amach dóibh siúd ar maith leo beagán Béarla fite fuaite leis an nGaeilge. Tá súil agam a bheith ar ais i mí Mheán Fómhair le heagrán nua. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
