Many Men Die Younger Than Women - In fact on average, men have a shorter lifespan compared to women. Males have higher death rates than females for almost all leading causes of death and at all ages. Men’s poorer lifestyles contribute significantly to the prevalence of chronic diseases. Many Men often present to health services late, making many health issues untreatable.

International Men’s Day is celebrated on November 19th every year and is a great opportunity to take part in a global conversation about manhood, masculinity and men’s issues. Aidan and Stephen discuss the themes outlined above this years theme about mens health champions, role models and more.

Samhain is Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. According to Irish mythology, Samhain (like Bealtaine) was a time when the 'doorways' to the Otherworld opened, allowing supernatural beings and the souls of the dead to come into our world; while Bealtaine was a summer festival for the living, Samhain "was essentially a festival for the dead".

We explore this and some spooky tales with our guest Seán Clancy who has many titles including Accredited Seanachaí (traditional Gaelic storyteller/ historian), Irish Pagan, Druid, ITGA Tour Guide, The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids (OBOD) member, Organic Farmer, Hill of Uisneach Guide, Photographer for fun, Chartered Engineer with Westmeath Councuil and most importantly a Dad & Husband.
