    Vanishing Ireland co-founder Turtle Bunbury looks back on how a dream to travel around Ireland on a tractor developed into a best-selling book series, a social media platform for the Irish Diaspora and, thanks to SuperValu, a podcast series bringing the voices of the old world into the 21st century.

    An unexpected flood, cattle going into a bank and the indispensable Tailor’s Goose are among the recollections of the charming, pipe-smoking 75 year old Michael Johnson, a fifth generation tailor based in Tullow, County Carlow. Season One of the Vanishing Ireland Podcast concludes as Michael recounts some of the remarkable scenes he has witnessed from his window seat in the tailor’s shop, as well and the contentment of working alongside his son.   Music by Liam Mulvaney

    "Journeying to her West Cork school on the back of her father’s milk cart is among the earliest memories of 91-year-old Freda Jones, a much admired organist living near Baltinglass, County Wicklow. She recalls her childhood days alongside the Schull to Skibbereen railway line before she left for boarding school at the Collegiate School, Celbridge. She also tells how she was obliged to give up her teaching career in Baltinglass, County Wicklow, following her marriage in 1957."
