@NeilJackman's love of Skellig Michael is not just about its stunning location, nor the #archaeology of the ancient #medieval monastic site, nor is it some #StarWars fanboy thing, rather it's the home of his favorite bird, the Puffin

We asked @NeilJackman about his sense of #Irishness and he speaks eloquently of that moment when there is nowhere else in the world where he'd prefer to live

@IrishStewPodcast @NeilJackman You can tell just by his face, he's talking about crisps again. He's relentless.
@IrishStewPodcast @NeilJackman
How could anybody not like puffins?
@IrishStewPodcast @NeilJackman Ooh that looks very interesting. That's me sorted for listening while spinning later!
@jupitersigh @IrishStewPodcast Hope you enjoy it Heather!
@NeilJackman @IrishStewPodcast Thank you, yeah, I found it really interesting. The need and difficulty of demonstrating importance and usefulness of a place and skillset feels very familiar to me as a librarian. I was also interested in what you had to say about archeology in Australia. We hear a lot here about companies harming sacred and important sites but not much about the work that happens to try to prevent that damage. Thank you for your work!
@jupitersigh @IrishStewPodcast thanks so much Heather!

Great episode! I got to visit one of my sons at an archeological site where he was working on Inis Mór this summer (and where I got to put my dodgy Irish to practical use for once); he has an internship at a museum in Duluth, MN, now, and is looking at a museums and public history career after university - bringing history to life is such an important job that enriches all our lives
@mhartford @NeilJackman glad you liked it. Given you Aran Island experience, you might enjoy our episode with @MacDaraMusic who is from that part of the world
