8.‘It’s Not a Hobby That Would Save Anyone’s Life, But It Could Save Your Sanity’ - a podcast by Stay Safe Stay Sane

12 years ago, Paul Duff left behind the hustle and bustle of Dublin and settled for a new life on Valencia Island, just off the south west tip of Co Kerry. Here he is surrounded by the wild Atlantic Ocean as he tends to his vegetables and a lighthouse. Mark Nevin is model railway enthusiast who can quite easily while away the hours and days building and maintaining his large model railway. It’s a lifelong passion that has saved his sanity during the lockdown. We also hear from Julian Tynan-O’Mahony originally from Ireland but now living in Sweden’s largest city, Gothenburg, where the government has adopted a very different approach to tackling the COVID-19 virus. We also check back in on Mariana Moncasi in Madrid as the Spanish government begins to ease back on the rigid lockdown restrictions and citizens can once again enjoy a taste of the open air. We also get some scientific insight into the virus from Spanish science podcaster Carlos Alameda host of El Viajero de la Ciencia.Music featured (CCC licensed): Christian Bjoerklund 'Hallon'; Blue Dot Sessions 'Cupcake Marshall'; Soft and Furious 'So What'; Ryan Andersen 'Awakening'.
