A podcast series on alumni who went to Clongowes and their recollections of those days looking back now as adults. In seeking balance some of the expected names are absent.
Yet everyone who has shared their story reflects on the formative influence being a boarder in CWC has had throughout their life, careers and lasting friendships.
The unique commonality of each story is striking and developed unknowingly at the time in the school. A man for others is a common theme for many.
The series is devised and created by Rossa McDermott, an alumni from 1978. The podcasts are recorded and produced at Dublin South Podcast Studio,in Dundrum
A third series is recording in January 2024 with an array of contributors already committed including Patrick Coveney.
In Series 2 a number of former headmasters and teachers have spoken, as has the first parent to contribute, Liz O’Kane.
In addition, Bidemi Afolabi an impressive Alberto Hurtado scholarship student now running his own business, who shared his story in Series 2.
