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!
