Ep 66--- Welcome to episode 66 of the Voices of Boyle and this week I'm delighted to welcome Jack Fallon to the podcast. At 95 years old, Jack is the oldest guest we’ve had on the podcast so far, and with that comes a wealth of experience and insight. Born in 1929, he carries firsthand memories of a world that has changed dramatically over the decades—he even recalls the early days of the Second World War and Ireland’s stance of neutrality. From his childhood in East Galway to making Boyle his home, Jack’s journey has been shaped by history, education, and a deep commitment to preserving local heritage. A dedicated teacher, he has taught across Ireland, Africa, and China, witnessing the evolution of education on a global scale. In this episode, Jack shares his reflections on life, learning, and the changing world around him. It’s not every day we get to sit down with someone who has lived through nearly a century of history, and it’s truly a privilege to share Jack’s stories with you. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Ep 54--- Episode 54 takes us on a trip down the Regan family lane with local photographer Mary Regan. Mary’s not only known for her own work as a local photographer but also for being the beloved wife of the late Christy Regan, one of Boyle’s most renowned photographers, who captured the spirit and essence of our town for decades. Together, Mary and Christy created a legacy that resonates with so many families in Boyle and beyond (most households locally have a photo that was taken by a Regan family member!). Let Mary take you back to her early days growing up in Elphin as she talks about her memories at home with her parents and going to both primary and secondary school. Christy soon comes into focus in our conversation as Mary gives us a glimpse into their special moments of meeting, going on their first date and later getting married, moving to Boyle, opening the business and having a family. We’ll dive into her memories of working alongside Christy, their family’s involvement in continuing his legacy and Mary’s own career as a photographer for the Roscommon Herald. We’re thankful to Mary for giving us a great insight into the life of her husband - the man behind the camera - whose work not only documented local life but also became a cherished part of countless family memories. We finish up talking about the Regan family’s journey of compiling ‘Through Christy’s Lens’, a two-volume book filled with Christy's remarkable photographs, making it a true visual record of our local history. Enjoy the chat with Mary as we reminisce, reflect, and honour her own work, the Regan family’s contribution to capturing local life with photos and, of course, the incredible life and work of her husband Christy. ****** You can purchase ‘Through Christy’s Lens’ on Enda’s website https://endaregan.com/collections/through-christy-lens.
