The Blindboy Podcast is a storytelling podcast in the Irish tradition of the Seanchaí. Seamlessly intertwining history, fiction, cultural critique, and politics into a relaxing form the author calls “the podcast hug.”

“His uncanny ability to articulate what nearly everyone is thinking is unparalleled and something that is sorely needed in Irish society.” — The Daily Edge

With humble beginnings as a short-term tool to promote his first book, the podcast has, over the past several years, grown into an international success with listenerships regularly exceeding two million per month. Blindboy is now an established voice in contemporary Irish culture — a bestselling author of fiction who has written three acclaimed collections of short stories. He has over a decade of experience writing for television, having made shows for BBC, ITV, Channel 4, MTV, and RTÉ.

He is also a songwriter, musician, and producer with his group The Rubberbandits, who have amassed over 150 million YouTube views and continue to tour internationally as a theatre act. The Blindboy Podcast stands as the creative summation of all these experiences.

Blindboy is also an academic, having completed a master’s degree in 2015 in Creative Practice and the Social Environment. He draws upon this to democratise topics such as art, psychology, politics, science, and music — offering unique and humorous insights into issues that are often perceived to be complex. Mental health remains a frequent and central topic on The Blindboy Podcast.

A longtime mental health activist, Blindboy continues to use his platform to speak openly about his own experiences with anxiety and depression. Through the podcast, he explores theories of psychotherapy such as CBT and transactional analysis, helping listeners apply these tools in practical, accessible ways.

And then there are his live podcast shows.

From Toronto to London, from Sydney to Galway, Blindboy’s live podcasts remain consistently sold-out affairs. He captivates audiences in a quiet, intimate atmosphere, drawing from his years of live performance experience to make a crowd of 1,200 feel as though they are in a small room with only a handful of others.

He reads from his books and speaks with a guest — not in the style of an interview, but as an intimate chat that seeks to recreate a private conversation in a public space through the language of theatre. These live shows are spontaneously endearing and heartwarmingly engaging; there is always something for everyone to enjoy. Guests range from people with fascinating life stories to experts in their fields.
