At Home with Peter Broderick

Episode 15 of 20

Conversations and live performances from songwriters living away from their homeland. For this episode, Verity Sharp calls up Oregon-born, Galway-based musician Peter Broderick.

As the year prepares to turn, Verity Sharp dials up singer songwriters who aren鈥檛 living in their country of birth. Are they more mindful of their roots at this time of year? Has the pandemic made them feel closer or further away from home? Or is music all they鈥檝e needed to keep them rooted?

Peter Broderick has moved many times since growing up in Oregon, USA. Currently settled in Co. Galway, Ireland, he talks about his love of nature and how foraging for wild food has helped him understand the way in which everything is connected. Singing live, he identifies with the extraordinary resilience of the blackberry and its ability to root anywhere.

Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.
A Reduced Listening production for 大象传媒 Radio 3.
