Weekly Bundoran Podcast launched
A new podcast called The Bundoran Weekly has been launched by Discover Bundoran. The podcast will complement the existing weekly video. The video appears each Friday at 11am on Facebook, Twitter and You Tube. The podcast will give a rundown of what’s happening in the town. Shane will also talk to residents and visitors about their time in the seaside town.
Host Shane Smyth said ‘We’ve been doing the weekly video report every Friday since January 2018 and we felt that the time was right to launch the podcast. We restrict ourselves to around 2 minutes for the video. We’ve often felt that we could do with longer to interview people about events or other things happening in the town. The podcast will also create an archive of material for future generations.’
Available
The podcast is available on the iTunes platform each Friday or via the website www.discoverbundoran.com/bundoranweekly.
