Was Darwin Wrong? (90 second gag)

Was Darwin Wrong? (90 second gag)

Author: Brian Sexton October 30, 2025 Duration: 1:50

Just a 90 sec gag in the car to the phone. I think there are three or four watching/ listening to these so ...hello, hope all's good with you -if you tuned in to Nancy G there'll be another long tale starting next month (Nov '25), with a few short bits of stories/ messing in between. Enjoy Oíche Shamhna, keep the fire lit


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.
