Tuesday was the real St. Patrick’s Day, a day that honors Saint Patrick and pays homage to Irish heritage and culture. What better time to welcome Boston Globe travel writer Christopher Muther on the program, who recently traveled to Ireland for the first time and self-admittedly knew nothing about the country of Ireland. Chris chatted with us about his experience in Ireland, all the history to be learned there and the local connection between Ireland and Boston. Have you ever been to Ireland? What was your favorite part about visiting? If you’ve never been but wish to, what’s the biggest draw for you?

Rea believes that talk radio is the best way for people to communicate their opinions and ideas on what he calls “North America’s Virtual Back Porch.” Rea encourages challenging conversations and diverse ideas combined with respect and tolerance for the opinion of others. But don’t think for a moment that NightSide is anything but provocative, always interesting and at times, passionate and emotional. 642427
