The Recluse’s Cookbook is a monthly podcast where I, your humble recluse, engage in one-on-one conversations with persons of substance. People who may not get the column inches in the media but their work or lives events are remarkable.

Aidan Killian is the “Oliver Stone” of Irish Comedy. He can take sensitive niche subjects like wikileaks or the banking crisis and make them accessible to a mainstream audience, providing plenty of laughs and after thoughts along the way. Many try to do this but Aidan succeeds every time out. His adventures have taken him around the world several times and to great acclaim. On this episode we discuss striking a moment in a show, the effects of the pandemic on the entertainment, his favourite moment in the toilet and his secret tour.

The latest episode of the Recluse's Cookbook drops. Jarlath Mc Hale is the CEO of Mayo Adventure Experience. Since 2014 he has been delivering activities on land and water to the public. In 2017 he undertook the Inca trail, not as a tourist but as a porter. In this episode he discusses changing careers in a recession, going for broke and how putting in the effort will pay off in the most unlikely places, like the car park in Lough Lannagh.
