Described as a “cultural phenomenon” byThe New York Times, The Blindboy Podcast is an award-winning storytelling podcast in the Irish tradition of the Seanchaí, which seamlessly intertwines history, fiction, cultural critique and politics into a relaxing form the creator calls “the podcast hug”.
Drawing on his knowledge and chronic curiosity to democratise topics such as art, psychology, politics, science and music, for these live and exclusive events, Blindboy will offer the audience a unique and humorous insight into issues which are considered to be complex.
With a surprise special guest at every show, these meditative evenings will seek to replicate a private conversation in a public space through the language of theatre. In equal parts spontaneously endearing and refreshingly engaging, undoubtedly there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
