El Arpa is not just media but completa , as its two members are reunited to review and relive good cinema, good art, and good times.

A podcast that is longer than normal cos ye're a sound a bunch of lads and ye deserve it. Taking in surrealism, old books, paint, the universe... and a spot of revisionist history.

The Human Voice. That is all.

Blogs, dogs and everything in between. There is also gossip (xoxo) about St. Patrick, the Spanish Civil War and buskers.

Metros, magic, messiahs, musings, mugs, moons. Dive right in.

A look at a local poet and a there's even some art. Lovely. Because I'm an idiot, I mistakenly referred to Beckett's book as 'Kicking Against The Pricks'. It is, in fact, called 'More Kicks Than Pricks'.
