A few years ago, my now-husband and I spent a few days biking through western Ireland. Along the way, we stumbled across a weathered billboard near the tiny (800 year-round residents) town of Lisdoonvarna, advertising an annual matchmaking festival.
60,000 people come to this festival, every year, from all over the world. And the main attraction is the matchmaker: a man named Willie Daly. In Episode 3 of The Specialist, I tell the unlikely story of how Willie and I met (there's a barn dance), share the matchmaker's advice for getting lucky, and share one of my favorite live performances anyone's ever given.
We’d love your feedback, and your ideas. Do you know any specialists? Are you a specialist? Email me and tell me all about it at specialistpodcast@gmail.com.
Thanks! More Specialists coming your way soon, right here on KALW.
