Big Irish World: An Irish Diaspora Podcast
This podcast is about visibility, awareness, connection, and healing as a culturally connected community spanning the global Irish diaspora.
What we're building together is a grassroots community devoted to the exploration of the many stories, lives, and voices of the global Irish diaspora.
We seek deeper understanding of how Irish culture shows up in the world today, and how a better fluency with this culture can nourish us and bring us that little extra hope, warmth, and resilience that has become one of many familiar calling cards of the Gaels.
We seek better visibility and connection across our massive family of humans scattered to the four winds across as many lands as years, and at least as many stories as storytellers.
We seek to better understand our collective place in the larger cultural narrative of this Big Irish World. Together.
Please forgive our dust as we get our feet under us, and for any production chaos in the beginning as we get spun up. We really have some amazing things planned for the first season, and we can't wait to share them with you.
"What's up with these Patreon Tiers...?"
At this time there are only two categories of support, and each has three pay-what-you-can options. This is an attempt to create as much access as possible for those carrying or seeking this culture, while allowing patrons to select the entry point that makes the most sense for them.So there are effectively only two “Whatever feels fair, GRMA." tiers "Cara" (friend), and "Laoch" (hero).
Everyone in the same tier gets the exact same access, regardless of amount contributed, and any level of support is deeply appreciated. Although the tops of each tier are considered the “main” levels of support for that tier, the world is on fire, everybody is struggling, and I get that. Every contribution helps keep me housed and fed and makes this podcast - and community - possible, and every bit of it helps.
This is all still actively forming in realtime. backers get immediately added to our (new) Discord server. — stay tuned!
