I'm Donagh McKeown. Welcome to the Irish Voices podcast, where we hear the stories of the Irish Diaspora, that "scattering" of the Irish across the globe. Emer Martin, originally from Dublin, now lives in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. Among many things, she is a mother, a teacher and a writer. We hear her story as she travels to Paris, Rome, Greece, Israel and Egypt before settling on the USA's West Coast

Irish Voices is brought to you by Donagh McKeown, veteran Irish broadcaster. You can hear his Irish Voices radio show on www.globalirishradio.com on Saturdays from 10pm BST, with repeats throughout the week
