In Episode 17 of Craic on the Coast, hosts Michael Schilling and Shaun Morgan record on location at The Tinker’s Son in Norwell, MA for their annual Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

First up, we’re joined by Greg Shanahan, the newly elected President of the South Shore Irish Heritage Trail. Greg shares his vision for the Trail, why preserving Irish heritage along the South Shore matters, and what’s ahead for this exciting project.

Next, we sit down with Brian Houlihan, proud Cork man and owner of The Tinker’s Son. Brian reflects on his journey from Ireland to the South Shore, what it takes to run one of the region’s most beloved Irish pubs, and how food, music, and community come together under one roof.

Finally, we welcome back Mike Reardon, Guinness Ambassador and returning guest, who shares tips on pairing Guinness with seasonal dishes. From hearty stews to savory fall flavors, Mike highlights how the world’s most famous stout makes the perfect companion to cooler weather cuisine.

It’s an episode full of food, stories, and plenty of craic as we mark the halfway point to Ireland’s biggest day of the year.
