🎉 SPECIAL EPISODE – THE PARTING GLASS TURNS 6 MONTHS! 🎉
🚀 Six months, 24 stories, and powerful conversations later… we’re just getting started!
To mark this milestone, we’re bringing you one of our most compelling episodes yet – a raw and honest conversation with Richard Boyd Barrett. Known for his fearless activism and fierce passion for justice, Richard opens up like never before.
đź’ˇ In this deeply personal and powerful chat, he shares:
🔥 Learning from an early age that he was adopted – and later discovering his birth mother was none other than legendary actress Sinéad Cusack
🔥 The incredible twist of fate – his mam used to do Sinéad's hair, neither knowing their true connection
🔥 His journey to Israel in 1987, witnessing firsthand the persecution of the Palestinian people during the First Intifada – a defining moment in his activism
🔥 His love of punk music, Damien Dempsey, and Christy Moore, and why he admires them for always calling out social injustices through their music
🔥 His unwavering fight for a fairer Ireland and what still drives him every day
This is not just a political chat—it’s a story of identity, discovery, and lifelong activism.
