The Power of Fandom- With Amanda Shannon & her guest Leah Shannon

So with the podcast launching on St. Brigid's day I had wanted to lean into sisterhood, and how better than interviewing my own sister.  These podcast interview episodes are all about each individuals perspective on growth and authenticity. We landed on the theme of fandom, and how listening to music and being a super fan can really herald some beautiful realisations and protections for music lovers. Leah Shannon is a native of Ennis and grew up in a musical home, and attended a very musical school, Gaelscoil Mhichíl Cíosóg.  Her dad a drummer and she herself singing in the school choir and winning awards with Slógadh through the years, Leah has well understood from a young age the value in music but it takes on deeper significance when facing life's challenges.  If you want to hear some wise words from this young mom and music lover this is the episode for you! This weeks episode considers the following: Do listen in to hear how a musical home is a happy home? How bands and artists can heal their listeners? How songwriting can really impact us? How themes and concepts can really open doors for people into new worlds? How development of the artist as well as the music can positively influence people? How we can all find our own ways to be musical?
