Podcast · Eoin Murphy · Science Tales looks to bridge the gap between science and our everyday lives, by telling stories that people can relate to. The content spread across the channel will include local environmental and scientific topics of interest which in one way or another affect all our lives. Following on from the success of The Elements of Clare podcast series, I went on the road to meet some really interesting people and learn more about how actions they were taking at a local level can have an impact at a much bigger scale.The result of these conversations was two audio documentaries, The Story of Hometree...so far and Burren Winterage: Looking to the Past to Protect the Future. Then in 2022, I was fortunate enough to travel to Svalbard in the Arctic and look at how the work scientists carry out there will be crucial as we look to predict the future impact of climate change. While in Svalbard, I was struck by the presence of The Global Seed Vault. From the outside, the vault looks to be simply a doorway into the mountain. But under the snow and ice is so much more. During my time in Svalbard it was suggested to me that instead of asking people about the seed vault, why not investigate what Ireland has deposited and why these seeds were selected. This idea resulted in me broadening out the question to ask how are we in Ireland doing at securing our plant and crop genetic diversity for future generations. A published article and 12 interviews later, this story will finally make its way into podcast form with a multipart audio documentary in Summer 2024. I am always looking for new ideas and stories to investigate, so if you have a story or a topic you think would make a good audio documentary, let me know.
