Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 2

Flight Into Culfadda - Chapter 2

Author: Brian Sexton May 17, 2026 Duration: 13:04

Part two of the story. Tis hard to know if anyone is following but if you are, and are human, then the tale will run the course. I don't really have a plan for how long it will go. It was meant to be a script for a live show with some local comics, but reality means that will never happen so I might as well go mad with it given there are no filming restrictions etc. Gonna try get more regular and sharpen up on the writing and editing as it goes along. Anyhow, hope all is well with you -thanks for joining in. Brian


Ever wondered what happens when a spaceship lands in a Connemara bog, or how a time-travel paradox might be solved over a quiet pint? That’s the peculiar and wonderful territory explored in Irish Science Fiction. Each episode is a unique blend of the otherworldly and the everyday, crafted by writer and comedian Brian Sexton. You’ll find stories where futuristic dilemmas are filtered through a distinctly West of Ireland lens, complete with the dry wit, local character, and surreal humour that the region is known for. This isn't your typical sci-fi; it's a genre all its own, where cosmic adventures sit comfortably beside very human, and often hilariously relatable, observations. Tuning into this podcast feels like hearing a great tale in your local, one where the stakes just happen to be the fate of the galaxy. Brian weaves original narratives and jokes that are both inventive and grounded, creating a listening experience that’s as comforting as it is wildly imaginative. So if you fancy a journey to galaxies far, far away that somehow always feel like they’re just down the road, you’ve found your new favourite audio destination.
