The Selection Box: Books Edition with Joanne Hunter

Jarlath meets Joanne Hunter the manager of a brilliant independent book shop in Louisburgh in county Mayo to talk about the challenges facing these kinds of book shops during the pandemic. We hear the very unusual story of how an Irish Times article brought her to apply for the job and how Books At One has come from a cornerstone of the community. The first in a series of Selection Box episodes to be uploaded across the next few months, this conversation goes straight to the heart of why we need to support our local stores when and where we can. If you’d like to suggest an independent book store for Jarlath to devote an episode to, email us at irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail.com. For more on Books At One and their extraordinary work visit www.booksatone.ie
