Re:Build (Tiny Home & Sparking Joy)
What do we really need to live well? From the houses we build to the possessions we buy, our choices have a huge impact on how we live and the world around us.
In this episode, host Meghann Scully explores how living with less can open up space for a more sustainable future, and she’s joined by two guests who are approaching this in different, but complementary, ways.
Paul Lawford is the founder of Small Change, where he’s helping people explore what he calls a radical, sustainable and affordable alternative to traditional housing. He tells Meghann the story of how he quit his job, sold most of his possessions, and built his own Tiny Home with no previous construction experience.
Aidan Gately, of Joy at Home, is a decluttering specialist and certified KonMari consultant, as well as the first Declutter Expert on RTÉ’s popular television series Home Rescue. He chats about how decluttering is about far more than tidying up; it’s a mindset shift that can reduce waste, bring calm to our homes, and positively affect our mental health.

Re:Play (Sport and Sustainability)
Sport is everywhere. From a local youth club to a national team competing on a global stage, superstar athletes to superfans, sport is a part of our society and culture like nothing else. And so, it’s the ideal platform from which to help shape a sustainable future.
In this first episode of Re:Energise, host Meghann Scully is joined by two expert guests: Sean McCabe, Head of Climate Justice and Sustainability at Bohemian Football Club, and Oscar Carolan, sustainability consultant and co-founder of Green & Blueprints. They look at how we can use the world of sport to advocate for, and implement, significant changes in sustainability. From work with youth sports clubs and Leinster Rugby, through to the initiatives of Bohemians Football Club, Oscar and Sean highlight innovative initiatives, practical solutions, and the pivotal role sports can play in creating a more sustainable future.
