Ep 66---
Welcome to episode 66 of the Voices of Boyle and this week I'm delighted to welcome Jack Fallon to the podcast.
At 95 years old, Jack is the oldest guest we’ve had on the podcast so far, and with that comes a wealth of experience and insight.
Born in 1929, he carries firsthand memories of a world that has changed dramatically over the decades—he even recalls the early days of the Second World War and Ireland’s stance of neutrality.
From his childhood in East Galway to making Boyle his home, Jack’s journey has been shaped by history, education, and a deep commitment to preserving local heritage. A dedicated teacher, he has taught across Ireland, Africa, and China, witnessing the evolution of education on a global scale. In this episode, Jack shares his reflections on life, learning, and the changing world around him.
It’s not every day we get to sit down with someone who has lived through nearly a century of history, and it’s truly a privilege to share Jack’s stories with you. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
