b'Tea. It\\u2019s a national obsession - just ask Irish emigrants to America about the first time they tred to get their hands on a kettle. While the infusion of tea leaves in hot water might unite the city dweller from her country cousin, the tiny differences in the way it\\u2019s prepared can speak volumes.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nThis week Darach chats to Sligo\\u2019s Laura Gaynor, formerly the tea critic with Raidi\\xf3 na Life. She tells Darach about how she landed in Dublin\\u2019s hippest radio station and the doors it opened for her, how learning Irish prepared her for learning Greek, the power that comes with being a critic and how to find something close to Barry\\u2019s tea when you are abroad.\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nSupport Motherfocloir on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/darach\\xa0\\n\\n\\nGet Kirsten Shiel art prints here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/kirstenshiel/\\xa0\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nContact the show:\\n\\n\\ntwitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor\\n\\n\\nemail - motherfocloir@headstuff.org\\n\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nWant to record your own podcast?
