  • Dermot Beggan - Bringing The Hot Air Balloons Back To Boyle
    Ep 67---In episode 67 of the Voices of Boyle podcast, I sit down with Dermot Beggan, a familiar face to many around town.Dermot grew up in Smoterna, just outside Boyle, with Lough Key practically in his back garden! He shares his journey from leaving school to working his way up to becoming General Manager of Lough Key Forest Park, a place where he first worked many years ago. It’s a real full-circle story.We chat about the current activities on offer at the park, the exciting developments planned for the future (there are some amazing plans in the pipeline!), and how he played a huge role in bringing the Balloon Championships back home to Lough Key.For many of us, the memories of those crisp September mornings, watching the colourful balloons rise above the Boyle skyline, are something special. Now, with a week-long festival planned that includes two flights per day, there’s a real buzz about seeing the balloons fill the skies once again.Lough Key is the perfect setting for the balloon championship to take place, and Dermot gives us all the details. Finally, we talk about the importance of Boyle town in Lough Key’s existence and how it’s the support from local people that will help the park to continue to thrive. Enjoy the episode! https://www.voicesofboyle.com/dermotbeggan/Join us on:( Facebook ) ( Instagram ) ( YouTube )( Website )If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who would like to chat with us, then drop us an email at ( [email protected] ) Thanks to Brendan O' Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.

  • Jack Fallon - Recollections of World War 2
    Ep 66---Welcome to episode 66 of the Voices of Boyle and this week I'm delighted to welcome Jack Fallon to the podcast. At 95 years old, Jack is the oldest guest we’ve had on the podcast so far, and with that comes a wealth of experience and insight. Born in 1929, he carries firsthand memories of a world that has changed dramatically over the decades—he even recalls the early days of the Second World War and Ireland’s stance of neutrality. From his childhood in East Galway to making Boyle his home, Jack’s journey has been shaped by history, education, and a deep commitment to preserving local heritage. A dedicated teacher, he has taught across Ireland, Africa, and China, witnessing the evolution of education on a global scale. In this episode, Jack shares his reflections on life, learning, and the changing world around him. It’s not every day we get to sit down with someone who has lived through nearly a century of history, and it’s truly a privilege to share Jack’s stories with you. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Check out - www.voicesofboyle.com/jackfallon/Join us on:( Facebook ) ( Instagram ) ( YouTube )( Website )If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who would like to chat with us, then drop us an email at ( [email protected] ) Thanks to Brendan O' Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.

About Voices of Boyle

Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, we’re live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (it’s our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7+ years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.
