Fault erriu dys Mona’s Isle. Welcome to the enchanting world of Mona’s Isle! I’m your host, Kyle Withington, and this podcast tells a story inspired by the rich folklore of the Isle of Man, the curious island beyond the mists of the Irish Sea where I was born and grew up. Episode by episode, we’ll follow Ashley, Rory and their father, Arty as they travel to the island to fulfil their mothers last wish, and unearth a family secret that will change the island forever. The show has been made possible thanks to the incredible support of the Isle of Man Arts Council and Culture Vannin, who do so much to champion the arts and the island’s unique cultural heritage. Joining us for this adventure are a host of brilliant Manx actors plucked straight from the islands one-of-a-kind local theatre scene, all propped up by a beautiful, original score composed by David Kilgallon, weaving some of the soul of the island into the tale to follow. And so, without further ado, let’s set sail for the island beyond the mist... after all, there’s always a boat in the morning if you don’t like it!
