About this listen

This week we dive into Song of the Sea (2014), a breathtakingly unique animated film rooted in folklore and magic.

The story follows Ben, a boy navigating grief, sibling bonds, and Irish folklore after the loss of his mother. His journey with his sister Saoirse unfolds in a world of myth, music, and memory.

Between admiring its stunning artistry and getting lost in selkie myths, Patrick and I can’t help but slip into plenty of silly moments along the way.

To pair with the film, we sipped on Miha Sauvignon Blanc 2024 - crisp and citrusy, with a label featuring a mama whale and her calf. Just like the movie’s selkie child and her mother, the wine reminds us of the deep bond between parent and child that runs through the story.
Make sure to stay until the end to hear this week’s question, you won’t want to miss it.

If you’re into folklore, heartfelt stories, or just want to laugh with us, this episode’s for you!
