This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people. So what motivated us to take this big leap into podcasting about Boyle? We've been travelling frequently since 2012 and like the majority of people that live abroad, we come back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history. Local podcasts can be a valuable resource for a community looking to learn about its history, characters, and culture. By providing a platform for members of the community to share their stories and experiences, podcasts can help to preserve and promote the unique character of a place. One of the key benefits of a local podcast focused on Boyle is that it offers a personalised, intimate glimpse into the history and culture of the town. Unlike a textbook or a museum exhibit, which can often be impersonal and removed from daily life, a podcast allows listeners to hear directly from people who have lived and experienced the history of a place. This can help to make the past feel more real and relevant, and can encourage people to engage with their local history in a deeper, more meaningful way. In addition to providing a window into the past, the Voices of Boyle podcast can also help to showcase the diversity and richness of the community’s culture. By featuring a wide range of voices and perspectives, the podcast can help to highlight the unique experiences and traditions of different groups within Boyle. This can be especially important for promoting understanding and inclusivity, as it allows people from different backgrounds to learn about and appreciate one another’s experiences. Furthermore, the Voices of Boyle can help to promote a sense of community and belonging. By providing a forum for people to share their stories and experiences, it can help to foster a sense of connection and commonality among members of the Boyle community. This can be especially important in today’s world, where many people feel isolated and disconnected from those around them. By listening to the Voices of Boyle, people can feel more connected to the community and its history, and can gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of their neighbours. It’s for the above reasons coupled with the desire to document our wonderful town of Boyle that we set up the Voices of Boyle in 2022.
