Episode 134

How does a semi-retirement idea become an award-winning artisan food brand? We hear the story of O’Mimo’s Chilli Madness, built in Portarlington around family recipes, bold flavours and plenty of heat. One year after securing Just Transition funding, Aidan Shortall returns to explain how The Old Coach House has gone from plans on paper to a fully operational tourism business in Tullamore. Plus, fresh from a Business to Arts Award win, Mullingar artist Joan Mulvihill discusses Art in the Hubs and how the initiative is bringing contemporary Irish art into workplaces across the country.
