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.

Bonus: Seacht mBliana i ndiaidh GOT: Part 2 Gaeilge Thar Lear

Seacht mbliana tar éis dheireadh Game of Thrones, leanaimid ar aghaidh leis an scéal – an uair seo i mBonn, i mí Aibreáin 2019, agus Séasúr 8 ag teacht amach seachtain i ndiaidh seachtaine. Agus mé díreach tar éis bogadh go dtí an Ghearmáin, gan mórán struchtúir ná plean soiléir don chéad chéim eile den saol, bhí Westeros fós mar chineál compánaigh dom agus mé ag iarraidh mo bhealach féin a aimsiú.Sa dara cuid seo, labhraím faoi dheireadh na sraithe, faoi na “cracks” a bhí le feiceáil fiú roimh Séasúr 8, agus faoin gcúis nach gceapaim go bhfeicfimid rud cosúil le GOT arís. Ní hamháin mar gheall ar an tsraith féin, ach mar gheall ar an idirlíon, streaming, agus an áit a raibh muid inár saol ag an am sin.Seo eagrán faoi endings – deireadh sraithe, deireadh ré áirithe den idirlíon, agus deireadh tréimhse i mo shaol féin freisin.Faigh cupán tae, cuir ort na headphones, agus tar liom ar ais go Bonn, 2019.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Seven years after the end of Game of Thrones, we continue the story – this time in Bonn, in April 2019, as Season 8 arrived week by week. Having just moved to Germany, with no real structure and no clear idea what the next stage of life would look like, Westeros became a strange kind of companion while I tried to figure things out.In this second part, I talk about the ending of the series, the cracks that were already appearing long before Season 8, and why I don’t think we’ll ever see another cultural phenomenon quite like GOT again. Not just because of the show itself, but because of the internet, streaming culture, and where many of us were in our lives at that moment in time.This episode is about endings – the end of a TV series, the end of a certain era of the internet, and the end of a particular chapter of my own life too.Grab a cup of tea, put the headphones on, and come back with me to Bonn, 2019.
