b'We had some very fine plans for Season 3, but, like the best laid schemes of mice and men, they have \\u201cgang aft agley\\u201d (been ruined) by external events. We have been fortunate that the team is all doing well and we send our best wishes to our listeners around the world and their loved ones at this time.\\n\\n\\nIn this week\\u2019s episode, Peadar and Darach consider how rapid change and displacement are represented in Irish mythology. The story of T\\xedr na n\\xd3g is one of the best known in the Irish canon, one which hinges on loneliness, homesickness and how people and places quickly change. What was the deal with Ois\\xedn\\u2019s mother? What monk snuck the religious conversion in? And how many Niamhs did you know growing up?\\n\\n\\nWelcome to the quarantine sessions. We\\u2019ve missed you.\\n\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nGet Kirsten Shiel art prints here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/kirstenshiel/\\xa0\\n\\n\\nSupport for this episode comes from Foras na Gaeilge - https://www.forasnagaeilge.ie/\\n\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nContact the show:\\n\\n\\ntwitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor\\n\\n\\nemail - motherfocloir@headstuff.org\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
