Plastic Paddies's Podcast
Welcome to Plastic Paddies, a podcast hosted by me, Caitlin. I have a deep love and appreciation for my Irish roots. I'll be exploring my cultural heritage, sharing stories and traditions, and learning more about what it means to be Irish and of Irish descent.
I want to create a community where people can come together to celebrate their Irishness and learn more about the culture that has influenced so many around the world. Whether you're a Plastic Paddy like me, simply interested in learning more about Irish culture or you are actually Irish, this podcast is for you. Stick around, it's going to be fun!
