The Conversations Hosted by Fender Jackson and produced by Salthill Media, the podcast centres on listening rather than argument. Each episode features a single guest and allows time for reflection, context, and experience to emerge naturally. Guests include artists, musicians, writers, athletes, broadcasters, historians, and cultural figures whose work or perspective offers insight into place, memory, and lived experience. There is no political or religious agenda. The podcast does not seek to persuade, promote, or argue a position. Instead, it exists as a space for careful dialogue, where complexity is allowed and difference is approached with curiosity rather than confrontation. The Host Fender Jackson grew up in Ulster and later lived in England and China before returning to Ireland and settling in Galway, where most episodes are now recorded. These experiences inform a listening-led, exploratory approach shaped by distance as well as proximity, and by an awareness of how place, movement, and memory intersect.

In this final episode of our three-part series, Professor Katy Hayward looks beyond the politics of 2016 to examine Brexit's long-term consequences for Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom and Ireland. We discuss: • Has Brexit been an economic success or failure for Northern Ireland? • Has Brexit made a united Ireland more likely? • Who, if anyone, has benefited? • Has Brexit strengthened or weakened the Union? • How has it changed relations between Britain, Ireland and the European Union? • Why does the Windsor Framework continue to matter? • What happens if a border poll is eventually called? • How will historians judge Brexit in fifty years' time? Along the way, Prof. Hayward offers one of the most memorable explanations of the Windsor Framework you'll ever hear - describing it as a mythical creature: \"a pony dressed up with a little glitter in its mane, an ice cream cone on its head... it shouldn't really exist.\" Whether you supported Leave or Remain, this conversation aims to explain rather than persuade. This is Part 3 of a special three-part series on Brexit.
