GESPONSORDE
At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss.

In Season 2 of Waterways through Time, historian Turtle Bunbury continues his journey through the Waterways of Time as he further explores the rich history of Ireland’s waterways. With an instinct for quirky details, he brings us the story of the terror-inducing Viking leader Thorgesius and the Norman warlords who seized control of the Shannon, the Barrow and the other major leaders. We meet Turlough O’Connor, one of the most powerful kings of Connaught, and learn how he changed the landscape of the Shannon region. And we bring the story forward to the Protestant Reformation and the Jacobite wars. Season 2 also features interviews with Susie Coote, owner of the 45M barge, historian Cathy Scuffil about the days when boats laden with Guinness voyaged through the Irish countryside and the marine archaeologist, Dr Connie Kelleher about what’s hidden in the waterways and life on a traditional open Irish boat with Cliff Reid.

×Turtle is joined by Ultan Cowley who shares his insights into the daily lives, motivations and semi-mythological reputations of the Irish navvies who built the canals, and how their successors built Britain’s railways, motorways and the Channel Tunnel.
Started on the eve of the French Revolution, the Royal Canal is Ireland’s longest manmade waterway running for 145 km (90 miles) from Dublin to the River Shannon. Here Turtle tells the colourful story of its founders Long John Binns and William Cope, and looks at why it took almost 30 years to finish the project.…
It is now 30 yrs since the completion of the Shannon-Erne waterway, linking the Shannon and Erne river systems. It was a pioneering project in many ways, not least as one of the first major collaborative efforts between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Turtle talks with renowned engineer Joe Gillespie, the main OPW representative on the project, for a reflection on how the transformational waterway came about.…
Irish language novelist and historian Séamas Mac Annaidh discusses his childhood on the island of Enniskillen, as well as the monks who compiled the Annals of Ulster on Belle Isle, the school where Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett studied, and a poem about American GIs playing baseball amid the ruins of Devinish Island.…
Featuring cameos by James Joyce’s canal-building forbear and Black Tom Wentworth, we learn how the desire to drain and improve Ireland’s boglands led the industrious Georgians to slowly (very slowly) construct some of the island’s earliest canals and waterways.
Turtle charts the twists and turns of the long-running project to connect Dublin to the River Shannon.
Patsy Cummins is the third generation of her family to work on the Grand Canal. Having been keeper of the 29th lock near Tullamore, she talks of the friendships she made along the way and explains how a tragedy at Shannon Bridge brought her family east to Ballycowan.
Dive into this gorgeous interview with Gwen Wilkinson, who named her homemade boat ‘Minnot’ before setting out on her 400 km journey from the shores of Lough Erne to the tidal waters of the River Barrow in Ireland.
Turtle talks with marine archaeologist, Dr Connie Kelleher, about the exciting revelations of underwater archaeology on Irish waterways from Neolithic logboats to battle debris to the treasures of the modern age.
Boating guru Cliff Reid of www.boatrips.ie discusses the glorious historical, geographical and natural elements of the River Barrow, the second-longest river in Ireland.
The Maguires, Kings of Fermanagh, were once among the most prominent dynasties in the north-west of Ireland. At their peak, their fleet of white sail boats gave them complete dominance of the waterways in and around Lough Erne, where they built the first castle at Enniskillen. This is the story of their rise and all.…
Turtle talks with historian, Cathy Scuffil about one of the most iconic aspects of the Canal Age – the sight of barges laden with Guinness barrels voyaging through the Irish countryside.
This episode tells the tale of the Anglo-Norman invasion through the men who built the castles of at Athlone, the Rinndown peninsula, and McDermott’s Castle on Lough Key, as well as along the Barrow, featuring a cast of warrior-bishops, Flemish wool traders and Knights Templar who dominated the waterways.…
The extraordinary story of the O’Connor king who ruled Ireland for 35 years, during which time his extensive fleet took control of the Shannon and the Erne, built bridges and castles along the waters, and reshaped a large stretch of the Shannon region to build a new border against his enemies to the south and east.…
Susie Coote, owner of the 45M barge, tells the story of the boat that sank on Lough Derg in 1946 with the loss of 3 of their crew, and how it was raised in 1975 by the late Donnacha Kennedy and purchased by her late father David Coote.
