"Well, what's the craic?!"
In this episode of Proud Craic, Damien McCaul (he/him) welcomes fellow Irishman and friend Colum Coleman for a conversation that unfolds like a journey — from first impressions to deep reflections on identity, community, and the wild, winding path of the Irish diaspora.
Across the episode’s chapters, listeners are pulled into moments that feel both intimate and unmistakably Irish. It begins with the two reconnecting and painting vivid pictures of where life has taken them, before drifting into honest reflections on how the podcast itself has evolved and why cultural representation still matters so fiercely today.
As the conversation widens, so does the sense of shared experience. Damien and Colum dive into the realities of living outside Ireland, the unexpected networks that shape us, and the strange magic of finding “your people” in places you never planned to be — from Glasgow nights out to accidental involvement in LGBT+ communities that end up changing everything. They talk about haggling for opportunities, building connections through pure curiosity, and the messy, beautiful process of coming out while navigating new cities and new versions of yourself.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Proud Craic without the unmistakable threads of Irishness running through it all. The pair swap diaspora anecdotes, laugh about the ways accents shift and adapt, and reflect on how identity stretches but never snaps — no matter how far from home you roam.
By the time they reach their final reflections, the episode has become a celebration of pride, belonging, and the small moments that remind you who you are.
