Voices of Boyle

By: Carlo Cretaro | Florence Cretaro
  • Summary

  • Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, we’re live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (it’s our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7+ years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.

  • Eamon Perry - Reflections On Boyle
    Dec 22 2024

    Ep 60---

    In this episode of Voices of Boyle, we sit down with Eamon Perry as he shares a few memories that paint a vivid picture of community life in Boyle through the years.

    From the bustling local shops like Christy Wynne's and Keenan's, where summer ice creams became a cherished treat, to the biting cold of the "big snow" in 1947 that blocked doorways and halted trains, Eamon recounts the challenges and charms of his hometown with warmth and nostalgia.

    Join us as Eamon reflects on the rich sporting legacy of Boyle, with tales of his uncle Paddy Perry's handball triumphs, and his own swimming accolades. He chats about the vibrant social scene of festivals, golf club gatherings, and the Catholic Club.

    Facing personal and community changes over the decades, Eamon shares his hopes for Boyle's future development, emphasising the spirit that binds the town together.

    Whether reminiscing about his youth in the streets of Termon or recalling career milestones and family life, Eamon's stories are sure to resonate with everyone.

    Enjoy the episode and feel free to share it.
