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.
Voices of Boyle
Anna Marie Jehorek - Boyle Is The Heart of Ireland
Ep 80---
On this episode of Voices of Boyle, Florence and myself chat with Anna Marie Jehorek. Anna shares her story of her deep connection to Boyle—despite being born and raised in the U.S.
Her family roots reach back to Croghan and she reflects on her fond memories of visiting Boyle since the 1980s, as well as the friendships and traditions that shaped her affection for the area.
It was a result of these visits that Boyle became the backdrop for her two novels.
From travel inspiration and pen pal letters with her grand uncle, to Irish dancing championships and her recent foray into podcasting, the conversation with Anna Marie is packed with stories of heritage, creativity, and the enduring magnetism of Boyle. We hope you enjoy the episode.
