🎙️ Craic on the Coast – Episode 4: “Heritage, Hunger, and One Last Pint”

In this heartfelt and history-rich episode, host Michael Schilling and guest co-host Greg Shanahan take listeners on a journey through Ireland’s past, present, and future — all from the shores of Massachusetts.

First, they preview two powerful upcoming events from the Father John Murphy Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians: the Easter Rising Commemoration on April 27th and the ambitious Hibernian Walk for Hunger this May, where Division members will walk 100 miles in 6 days along Ireland’s National Famine Way to raise funds in the fight against hunger.

Next, they welcome Sara Stanton, founder of Cara Travel Group in Quincy, to talk about the magic of discovering Ireland for the first time — and how travel can reconnect us to our roots. Cara Travel is also this year's Gold Sponsor for the Easter Rising event.

Finally, the lads raise a glass and share stories as they bid farewell to a South Shore legend — Paddy Barry’s Pub of Quincy — reflecting on the music, the memories, and the mighty craic that made it “the best little pub in the world.”

Whether you’re a history buff, a proud Hibernian, or just missing the sound of a good session, this episode is for you.
