All Things Considered

All Things Considered is a podcast that examines why we do the things we do. Host Amelia Cullen covers a myriad of topics, gleaning insight from psychologists, experts and academics. Each episode is peppered with the real-life experiences of listeners who share details on things like their first sea swim to their enduring Taylor Swift obsessions. Amelia’s job is to find the connection and commonality in these experiences. In this episode, she explores summer nostalgia, why we idealise the summers of the past and how we collectively remember Ireland as a tropical country. This episode features personal anecdotes from Andrea Cleary, Alan Maguire and Breifne Byrne. More from Tall Tales  Find Amelia on Instagram and Twitter 

On this episode of All Things Considered, I meet Dr. Catherine Kelly to discuss our draw to the sea. Dr. Kelly is the author of Blue Spaces, a study about the sea, our connection to it and how it can improve our wellbeing.  Next I chat to Mandy and Eoin of Ripple Effect Ireland who share their experiences of sea swimming and why they felt compelled to build a community.  And finally, I speak to Jen O'Dwyer, a recent convert who opens up about how sea swimming has grounded her during the past year.  More from Tall Tales  Find Amelia on Instagram and Twitter
