About this podcast
Ever wondered what it’s like to see Ireland through fresh eyes? Kara and Craig are well-seasoned millennials who moved to Dublin pre-pandemic, decided to stay through it all, and are still figuring things out. Blow-Ins explores Irish life, history, and culture through their personal stories and perspectives as outsiders navigating the subtleties of contemporary Ireland. Hosted on Acast.
