In Episode 8 of the Shnug podcast we speak to writer, poet, journalist and part time rock star Jimi Mc Donnell. A man that has a way with words, we chat to Jimi about his love of language and how this interest has influenced his different pursuits over the rears. An awarding winning writer and published poet, words have been his bread and butter for well over a decade.

Jimi’s other love is music, a onetime music correspondent for the Connacht Tribune and in his early days you might have caught his pounding the pavement’s of Tuam or Galway with different bands such as Hershey Bare and Tradiohead, he is now the front man of The Strolling Homes.

Jimi’s most recent release is ‘After Them’ a collection of poems he has been work on over the past few years. Within he reflects on love, loss and the west of Ireland.
