Voices of BoyleAuthor: Carlo Cretaro Florence Cretaro
Finally, after years of talking about bringing a podcast to Boyle, were live! This podcast is our way of documenting stories about Boyle and its people.So what motivated us to take this big leap into the unknown (its our first time recording audio and doing interviews!)? We were lucky enough to spend 7 years travelling and, like the majority of people that live abroad, we came back to Boyle with a greater appreciation for our hometown, its people and its history.We love the idea of creating a space on the internet where people from all over the world can tune in to listen to stories about Boyle. Each show will feature a different guest and we hope to cover lots of topics ranging from the old fair days to current events that are happening in the town.

David McGee - Ships, Cameras and a Silver Play Button
Episode 89
Sunday, 3 May, 2026
Send us Fan MailEp 89---Carlo sits down with David McGee, a young man from Boyle who has quietly built one of the most niche and impressive YouTube channels in Ireland. Blue Star Line, his channel dedicated to historically accurate 3D ship animations, has over 127,000 subscribers and a single video with close to 7 million views.David talks about growing up beside the boys school in Boyle, his grandfather Dick McGee's influence on his love of photography and storytelling, making short films on a Nintendo 3DS, his obsession with the Titanic since the age of four or five, and how a school musical called All Shook Up set him on the path to technical production. He also covers commissions from Italian documentary companies, drone footage of the hot air balloons at Lough Key that went viral, working on the film "Ann" in Boyle, and what it takes to render a 20-minute animation that can take a month to produce. A genuinely fascinating conversation about creativity, craft and a passion pursued quietly but brilliantly.Check out the full blog post on this episode - https://www.voicesofboyle.com/davidmcgeeJoin us on:( Facebook ) ( Instagram ) ( YouTube )( Website )If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who would like to chat with us, then drop us an email at ( info@voicesofboyle.com ) Thanks to Brendan O' Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.
