Deeply rooted in the landscape, the Irish language is thousands of years old and full of words with multiple layers of meaning—not to mention countless references to the Otherworld.

On this week’s episode, we speak with Irish writer, broadcaster, and Gaeilgeoir, Manchán Magan about how the Irish language and food can be used as a metaphor to tune in to our intrinsic connection to the land. We discuss Magan’s traveling show, Arán & Im, and his book, Thirty Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish Landscape. With topics as diverse as sourdough bread baking, folklore, nonlinear time, and quantum physics, this is an episode you will not want to miss!
