Irish Audio Dramas for Lá Fhéile Pádraig
Dia dhaoibh agus Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh! It’s St.Patrick’s Day and I wanted to share some Irish media with you that I have fallen in love with recently! So here are some audio dramas that I wanted to shout out some shows that I’ve started listening to, or have been recommended!
This House Will Devour You
“Kilphaun Hall sits high on a ridge overlooking the Blackwater river in County Waterford. Abandoned and silent for so long, it echoes now to the cheerful sounds of renovation and preparations for the coming social season of winter 1925. But Kilphaun Hall has its secrets and some places are best left to rot, forgotten.”

The Last Dance
Rusty Quill is an industry leading independent production company and podcast network.
“The Great South was alone. A small rock formed atop the bones of dead gods and leviathans, drifting within an endless ocean. People left to their own petty wars and dogmas. But now, from that same ocean, comes a wave of death in the form of savage invaders, striking without cause against the Eightfold House of Holy Ichors and its 8 Bleeding Monks. In the wake of their eradication, a battlefield scavenger by the name of Jericho Raeke goes picking through the remnants and discovers something that puts him, and his unlikely allies, at the centre of the conflict.”
Last Dance is produced in Belfast and has a full cast of Northern Irish voices, with guest stars including David Morrissey (The Walking Dead) and James Mackenzie (CBBC’s Raven).

Down Below The Reservoir
A horror podcast series from creator & writer Graham Tugwell
(I had to use the wayback machine for the website because I think its broken, but if you search up the title you should be able to find it.)
“Here is the horror of it: In the Town, you are a child only as long as you’re allowed. Then something happens, makes you different, and you have to be an adult. You never get the choice. One day, you have to change. And the crowd watches, making sure it happens…”
Down Below The Reservoir is the first Irish fiction podcast, adapted from the works of acclaimed horror maven Graham Tugwell (Everything Is Always Wrong) and voiced by award-winning writers Dave Rudden, Sarah Maria Griffin and Deirdre Sullivan. Published in twenty countries, through five continents, these stories unearth the very special misery of small-town Ireland, suspended between terror, hilarity and grief.

Neighbourly - Mathew O’Casement
Do you ever really know your neighbours?
“Do you ever really know your neighbours? Neighbourly follows the residents of Little Street, house by house. What they do, how they interact with each other, and what skeletons are hiding in their closets. Our Narrator is definitely reliable.”

The Devil’s Chair

Part 2 - https://youtu.be/qMbUcqsD9UI?si=flGB6U4OoQa5jLab
“Dearbhla Ashe has always wanted a career in comedy, and has suffered hard to get as far as she has - a nightly show in a dilapidated hotel on a sleepy coastal town in Maine. It might be enough, but the appearance of a young, new comedic star forces her to choose whether to foster new talent or fight for her own position on stage.”
Written by Méabh de Brún (a.k.a. Carpenter from The Silt Verses)
And some special mentions of course:
Conversations With Ghosts
Conversations with Ghosts is a fictional horror podcast from the creators of Archive 81
“Conversations with Ghosts is a new fiction podcast from the creators of Archive 81. Each episode is an interview with a different spirit, in which a cemetery’s mausoleum attendant attempts to convince the ghost to pass on.”

Keeping The Zoo
“Keeping the Zoo is a full-cast audio sitcom about a zoo that’s short on money but big on warm-hearted colleagues and animal shennanigans. It’s about work, friendship, capturing escaped animals, and finding out what’s important in life.”
Written and produced by Jon Madge. Features actor and playwright Denis Burke as Alan.
