Blindboy Returns - An Irishman Abroad

What this episode covers

This week the one and only Blindboy Boatclub makes his much-anticipated return to An Irishman Abroad. Limerick’s most loved artist and hip-hop icon explains how his life was changed by taking his courage in his hands on a new platform, his attraction to dog videos as pure entertainment on Tik Tok and the Irish housing crisis. For the very first time he discusses how Irish artists are moving to London because they can't afford to rent in Dublin. There's also a fascinating discussion on how we expect things from those with a platform, conspiracy theories and Jarlath reveals some exciting news about the next stage of the Irishman Abroad Podcast Network.
