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.

Ronan Flanagan - The Art of Conversation: Why Local Voices Still Matter
Ep 69---
On this week’s Voices of Boyle episode, I sit down with Ronan Flanagan; a news broadcast journalist, passionate Sligo Rovers supporter, and all-around Boyle native.
Ronan shares stories of growing up on the French Park Road, how a love of the Irish language shaped his journey, and what life’s really like as a local journalist with Ocean FM Ireland. From reporting the news to commentating on thrilling matches and running the Sligo Rovers F.C. Bit o’ Red Supporters Trust podcast, Ronan brings a fresh perspective on community, connection, and adapting to the changing landscape of media.
If you’re curious about what goes on behind the scenes at a radio station, enjoy a bit of GAA or League of Ireland banter, or just want to hear a local Boyle story then this one’s for you!
Give it a listen and tag someone from Boyle who’d love to hear his chat!
