Only 11% of podcasts make it to episode 50 and only 6.4% get to 100.

So, excuse The Stew if they’re feeling a wee bit chuffed to drop episode 100 today.
For this milestone show, co-hosts John Lee and Martin Nutty are on the receiving end of questions from Wexford’s own, attorney Shelley Ann Quilty-Lake, who grills the pair on their four-year journey, their podcast concept, the show’s evolution, their changing interview approach, and how they collaborate. They reflect on the podcast’s dynamic guest lineup from astronauts to archaeologists, standout moments in the first 99 episodes, what they see as their role in the Irish diaspora, and share the buzz from their recent “Irish Stew Gets Lost in Belfast Road Trip 2024” (episodes dropping mid-Jan.), the first, they hope, of many road trips across Global Irish Nation.

And they manage to humble brag about being on the short-list for three 2024 Irish Pod Awards—Best Society & Culture Podcast, Best Hosting Duo/Trio, and Best Editor (thanks to the Stew’s secret weapon, audio guru and inaugural guest Bill Schultz).

With thanks to Shelley Ann for her deft interrogation and deep appreciation for their intriguing guests and loyal listeners, Martin and John look forward to dishing out many more servings of Irish Stew for you.
