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 traveled the Cork section, and for one week everyday I filed a 5 minute (approx) audio 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, traveling, recording, and editing.

There was a great reaction to the pieces, with local residents and businesses along with politicians saying it was great to hear their area featured, and I discovered a few hidden gems off the beaten path!
