Let’s take a tour of the Wild Atlantic Way!

From the comfort of your Easy chair listen to a 5 part series from Reporter David O’Sullivan.

The Wild Atlantic Way is a 2,500km tourist driving route marketed by Failte Ireland.
The route uses existing roads on the Western Seaboard of Ireland, from Kinsale to Donegal.

In July/August 2014 David travelled the Cork section, and for one week eachday he file 5-10 minute aaudio-rich report that aired on Ireland’s largest local radio operation: Appearing on the flagship talkshow on on Cork’s 96FM called the ‘Opinion Line’, and C103 Cork called ‘Cork Today’.

Each segment took many hours to create, between research, travelling, recording, and editing.

There was a great reaction to the pieces, with local residents, businesspeople and politicians saying it was great to hear the gems of their area featured. To hear what those gems were press play below!
