Peter from Dublin - Writer and Director of The Petrified Podcast
Have you ever felt that chill crawl up your spine, that uncanny sense you're not alone, even in an empty room? I'm not just talking about bumps in the night or shadows that don't quite make sense. I'm talking about stories so palpable, so raw, that they invite us to question the boundaries between the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown.Let me introduce you to Peter Dunne, the writer and director of the highly rated Petrified Podcast. In this chat, we talk about the global success of the Petrified podcast, how Peter found his passion of invoking fear in others and what’s more, how he made a career out of it. In the description of this episode you will find a link to the Petrified Podcast and also a link to their live show which will be on the 25th of October in The Laughter Lounge. Something a bit different and a plan I’d 100% recommend for the lead up to Halloween!Tickets for the Live Showhttps://laughterlounge.com/products/petrified-live?variant=47020377768266Petrified Podcast Instagraminstagram.com/petrified_pod/Petrified on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/216zDQhhVWO2biziVgx8uEPeter’s Websitehttp://www.talesofmorb.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Alan from Ireland - 35 Marathons in 35 days & swimming the length of Ireland
Alan Corcoran ran 35 marathons in 35 consecutive days and then swam the length of Ireland. As you can imagine, there were a lot of ups and downs on this journey for Alan and in this chat I talk to him about what motivated him to start these brutal physical and mental challenges and also what gave him the encouragement to keep going, despite at times, nearly everyone and everything going against him. Alan has released two books, Marathon Man and Unsinkable chronicling his mission of the marathon challenge and the sea swim challenge. You’ll find links to both books in the description of this episode.
