Why are the Irish Obsessed with Emigration with Hannah Nash

How to be Irish

About this episode

Hannah Nash is the host of ⁠⁠Greener Fields⁠⁠, a podcast about the realities of life in your 20s and 30s, a time often associated with emigration for Irish people.

Having recorded nearly 90 episodes (and counting), Hannah reflects on what she has learned from speaking to so many young Irish people and their choice to emigrate, come home or stay in Ireland, a choice that is often the least likely!

In this episode, we discuss the meaning of home, mental health and wellbeing, the decline in drinking culture and the rise of the sober movement, as well as Hannah's plans for Greener Fields and her psychotherapy career.
