Fáilte, welcome to the first episode of Misneach: A Podcast For Men.
Well actually this project began back in 2018 when I travelled around Ireland and interviewed 10 different men in the creative field. They ranged from chefs, musicians, artists, photographers, extreme adventurers and many more, you can find those episodes below this one.
Anyways back to Misneach, that's the Irish word for courage and to be honest that's what has been asked of me to get back in front of the microphone.
But it's all good, this isn't just about me, this is about us as men and offering some of the lessons and learnings I have received over the years of walking an unconventional path as a man.
I'll let you listen to this episode that tells you a bit about that and hopefully this is a continued resource that supports you in your own wellbeing.
The intention is to release an episode each week on Wednesdays with each episode focusing on one or two specific topics related to our wellbeing as men.
And also in time I hope to bring on other men and interview them so we can deep dive together about the challenges and gifts of being men today.
For now, enjoy the episode and any questions you can find me on social media @
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darraghsheehy/
Or alternatively you can email me at: [email protected]
Also last thing, if you want to support this podcast with the price of a coffee the I've setup this Kofi page: https://ko-fi.com/darraghsheehy
This is money that I can use to continue to record each week and to edit and produce the show to the highest quality and offer you a greater resource for your wellbeing, any support is welcome.
Anyways sin é,
Le beannachtaí agus misneach,
Darragh

Joe Caslin is a street artist and teacher. His art work are large scale drawings across Ireland which explore societal issues. His work has surrounded themes of mental health, sexuality, drug addiction amongst others. As you will hear in the episode these drawings are meant to start a conversation rather than to tell you something, the images speak for themselves. "They are bringing people from the peripheries of society back into the conversation.” We discuss: What led Joe to being a street artist.The power of images to open conversations.How suffering has played such a big role in his art.The importance of art for his own mental health.The role of a teacher and how his students respond to being given a creative platform.I really enjoyed this conversation, I hope you do too.
