Award-winning Irish storyteller Maria Gillen joins Women, Books & More from Cork, Ireland, to share the magic and cultural power of Irish storytelling. A fourth-generation storyteller, Maria explores the enduring legends of St. Patrick and St. Brigid (Ireland’s matron saint) and why storytelling remains central to Irish identity.
Maria also co-hosts the podcast From Cork to New York with author and storyteller Jim Brulé, where ancient stories meet modern lives and cultures across continents.
In this episode, we discuss the power of story to connect people, guide the human spirit, and preserve cultural traditions. We also explore St. Patrick’s Day celebrations across the United States, the St. Patrick’s Festival in Dublin, and Ireland’s iconic landscapes—from the Wild Atlantic Way to Ireland’s Ancient East—as the Emerald Isle welcomes travelers with a renewed focus on sustainable tourism.
