My #podcast trip to #Leitrim was short

I’m looking forward to heading back to the country and spend time there in a more leisurely fashion

1) On the latest episode, Sinead McDermott details how the mix of #tourism has shifted in #Leitrim.

Her home county is a #coolcation destination where visitors can relax, disconnect, and indulge in a slow adventure

Recent guest John Coffey and his Thyme restaurant team getting well deserved kudos for their wonderful food

We had the pleasure of hosting John on our #OffTheBeatenCraic series. A trip to the #HiddenHeartlands wouldn’t be complete without a stop at this fabulous eatery

1) How do you get to know a town?

We’re big believers in walking tours. In #Athlone there’s no better man than Vincent Harney of Athlone Guided Tours

After our walk, Vincent sat down with us to talk about the Shannon River town on our latest episode

We spent eight jam-packed days in Ireland's #HiddenHeartlands.

Here's a quick look at the first three days as we traveled across #Offaly and #Westmeath, recording new #podcast episodes and stopping off at places that piqued our curiosity.

You can find details about the upcoming #OffTheBeatenCraic road trip series in our preamble episode, linked in the comments.

Just finished up a 10 day @IrishStewPodcast trip across the Irish Midlands with my #podcast partner @Johnleemedia

We wanted to capture some of the essence of the place and it’s people for a new series which we call #OffTheBeatenCraic

We concluded our trip with a chat with Kieran Cuddihy of Newstalk, talking America and Ireland warts and all
