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.

Ep 23---
Today's guest is Jane Suffin (or Sharkey as lots of people would know/remember her!). We were delighted to sit down and chat with Jane about her early years growing up in England and what it was like to leave Manchester and come home to Boyle to spend time in the great outdoors with her friends and family members.
We chat about Dudley and Annie (Jane's grandparents) and their escapades playing music around the country with other local musicians. Boyle was a different place back then, and we talk about how free children were to roam the fields and explore. In Jane's words - "You only went home if you were on all fours with hunger!!".
Termon Road will always be home to Jane, and we chat about some of her favorite people in the area and the role that they played in creating a community spirit like no other.
On that note...grab a cuppa and sit and enjoy a chat with Jane!
