S4-EP4: Jim Doyle: A Hero’s Rest, Part 2

In Part 2 of this extraordinary conversation with my father, Jim Doyle, we delve deeper into the story of Frank Stagg, Irish hero and martyr, and the covert operation to honor his final wishes. Jim reflects on the emotions and challenges that came with the daring effort to recover Frank’s body—a mission carried out in the dead of night, fueled by determination and a profound sense of justice.
Jim recalls the tense moments of digging beneath the concrete barrier that the government had callously imposed to suppress Frank’s republican legacy. He shares how every scrape of the shovel carried a weight far heavier than soil: the weight of defiance, of loyalty, and of love for a man who gave his life for the Irish cause.
Through Jim’s vivid recollections, we hear not just a story of rebellion but of family—of bonds strengthened in the face of adversity and the unshakable belief that honor and history are worth fighting for. He offers a rare and personal glimpse into the intersection of ordinary lives and extraordinary events, making this episode a must-listen for anyone moved by the power of courage and conviction.
Join us as Jim Doyle closes this chapter with reflections on Frank’s enduring legacy and what it means to be part of a story far greater than oneself.

S4-EP3: Jim Doyle: Memories of Killarney and a Hero’s Rest

In this deeply moving episode of Spirit Talk Show, Jim Doyle, my 83-year-old father and a proud son of Ireland, shares captivating stories from his life growing up in Killarney. With his warm storytelling style, he takes us back to a time of sweeping landscapes, close-knit communities, and a steadfast commitment to Irish identity and heritage.
Jim offers a remarkable insight into his connection to Irish hero and martyr Frank Stagg, his brother-in-law, whose legacy has left an indelible mark on Irish history. He recounts the incredible and little-known story of a covert operation to honor Frank’s wishes for a republican burial—an operation Jim himself played a vital role in. With ingenuity, determination, and quiet defiance, Jim and his comrades bought the plot next to Frank’s state-imposed grave, digging down and across to recover his body, despite the concrete barrier intended to suppress his legacy.
This gripping tale, hidden for years, unfolds like a scene from a spy novel but is grounded in the very real fight for freedom and respect. It’s a story of courage, resilience, and the lengths people will go to honor those they love.
Tune in for a powerful journey through Irish history and a father’s connection to an extraordinary chapter of his nation’s past.

S4-EP2: Season 4 Opener, Part 2: The Redemption Radio Play with Richie’s Sound Effects Show

In Part 2 of our Season 4 opener, we’re back with Ermie Oliver, Chris Turek, Richie Mon, and myself for another attempt at our ambitious live radio play. After the hilarious misadventures of Part 1, we regroup with one simple strategy: let Richie handle all the sound effects himself. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: Everything—and it’s amazing.)
Richie takes center stage as the self-proclaimed "Sound Maestro," armed with everything from pots and pans to his own vocal talents, creating a soundscape that’s as ridiculous as it is unexpectedly perfect. Whether it’s a thunderstorm that sounds suspiciously like crumpled chip bags or a galloping horse that’s clearly Richie slapping his thighs, the results are comedy gold.
As the play unfolds, the mix of laughter, improv, and sheer commitment from the team transforms our chaotic experiment into a uniquely charming success. Tune in for a hilarious celebration of teamwork, creativity, and the kind of joyful silliness that makes Spirit Talk Show one-of-a-kind.
Grab your headphones and get ready to laugh until your sides hurt—this is the radio play redemption arc you didn’t know you needed! 🎭😂🎙️

S4-EP1: Season 4 Opener: Radio Play Chaos with Ermie, Chris, Richie, and Doyle

Welcome to the hilariously unpredictable Season 4 opener of Spirit Talk Show! In this special episode, we attempt a bold experiment: creating a live radio play complete with sound effects. Joining me for this ambitious (and slightly unhinged) adventure are Ermie Oliver, Chris Turek, Richie Mon, and, of course, yours truly.
What starts as a creative endeavor quickly spirals into chaos as our live sound effects go hilariously off the rails. From misfiring sound cues to accidental hilarity, our first attempt is nothing short of a comedic disaster. But we don’t give up! Determined to make it work, we rally together and let Richie take over the sound effects himself—with unexpectedly funny and over-the-top results.
Join us for the laughter, the mishaps, and the sheer joy of embracing the chaos as we prove that sometimes, failing spectacularly can be just as entertaining as getting it right. You won’t want to miss the outtakes, the improv, and the camaraderie that make this episode a perfect kickoff to an unforgettable season. Tune in for the fun! 🎙️😂
