Welcome to episode 1 of the Voices Of Boyle Podcast! 

It’s only taken us a couple of years to actually follow through with our idea of trying to document and record some stories from the people of Boyle! 🙂 

Today’s guest is Risteard Lloyd, who I’ve been friends with since we were young whipper snappers back in the early 80’s! 

Risteard’s story is a very hard-hitting one and for anyone that doesn’t know of what happened to him back in June 2005 in Thailand, it will send a few shivers down the back. 

Risteard has an very positive outlook on life and that’s evident when you listen to him speak.

In the episode, we talk about the lead up to the accident, why he was in Thailand at that time, the accident itself and the road to recovery afterwards.

There were a few audio hiccups in this episode as it’s the first time I’ve ever recorded a podcast. Things will undoubtedly get better as time goes on. 

A special word of thanks to Brendan O’ Dowd for creating the intro music for the podcast. He did a great job of it and it fits perfectly with the local theme of the podcast.

Finally, as mentioned in the episode, I’ve linked to article that Risteard wrote detailing his journey from before the accident in 2005 all the way to 2008 when he was well on his way to a full recovery.
