After our written interview with Nell Kruger earlier this year we figured it made sense to capture her unique insights and voice in this podcast interview.

Nell Kruger lived on Cape Clear from 1986 to 2018 and saw many interesting events and changes on the island.
She worked as an artist, ceramicist and cofounder of the Cape Clear Storytelling Festival and resident on the island for four decades.
