About this listen

Welcome to the I Love Mann podcast - celebrating all we love about the Island.

In each episode we hear someone talk about their connection to this jewel in the Irish Sea - be they natives, come-overs or stop-overs.

Here we talk to Juan Christian, who was nominated by previous guest Graham Hall.

Juan is, as we'll hear, as Manx as they come and he's done the research to prove it.

He hasn't always lived over there though; he spent a number of years living away. But as happens with so many of us, the pull to return was strong and came at just the right time.

This is a joyously optimistic discussion about what it means to be Manx and why we shouldn't worry about a bit of negativity on social media.

Juan also talks about his work with the charities Isle Listen and Mooinjer Veggey.

If you would like to try learning a little Manx, you can get in touch with Juan by emailing projects@mooinjerveggey.org.im and by the end of this episode...you will know how to say 'testicle hill,' a phrase you didn't even know you needed.

If you'd like to share your thoughts about the Island, drop me an email bethespey@manxradio.com
