Listen here: SoundCloud, Spotify, ApplePodcasts.

Conscious Lee is a podcast to help people value and protect their rivers. This first episode explores otters in Cork rivers and discusses the importance of water habitats, and how we can respect them. It has contributions from Gill Weyman of Cork Nature Network, activist Chris Moody, Jude Sherry of Anois, and Cork city Councillor Lorna Bogue, see links below. It also uses Sustainable Development Goal 15, Life on land, to show the importance of rivers, waterways, wetlands, and lifestyle choices you can make to help address our climate and biodiversity crisis.

Conscious Lee is produced by students of Creativity and Change, a course in Munster Technical University’s Crawford College of Art & Design. Colette Mulholland, Ann Lambe, Flo Whitworth, and Richard Scrvien narrated, and the field recordings were made by artist Vicki Langan and Richard.

This episode focuses on our connections with the river by experiencing it from on the surface or on the banks. Despite everything else going on around the city – the traffic, the rushing, the noises – the river itself passes, threading its own course. By being on or by the river we can feel affinities to it, a sense that links us with its calming presence.

This episode looks at the crossings of the Lee with a focus on the bridges found in the city. The city’s expansion from its medieval core from the late 16th century involved initial building of bridges between the marshy islands before culverting over most of the channels. Then, as the urban are grew, crossings were required along the banks linking the central island with the south and north sides. As well as providing an overview of the topic, specific reference is made to South Gate Bridge, St Patrick’s Bridge, the Shaky Bridge, Brian Boru and Clontarf Bridges, and the Jack Lynch Tunnel.

The opening and closing music is composed and played by Claire Layton; the field recordings are made and edited by Vicky Langan (www.vickylangan.com) and Richard Scriven, narration is provided by Ruth Harrington and Aisling White, and Joe Kiely gave production assistance.

Cork is the Lee: an audio exploration of the River Lee

This auditory project explores the cultural and natural heritage role of the river Lee in the life of Cork city through a podcast series and a workshop during Heritage Week 2019. Using the unique capacity of sound to convey meaning and evoke emotions, this project will interview people who use and appreciate the Lee (eg. rowers, fishers, naturalists), utilise historical sources, and take field-recordings along its length, which will be combined to create a rich and unique insight into river as geographical and cultural force. The project has received funding under Cork City Council’s Local Community Heritage Grant 2019 and is supported by the Department of Geography, UCC.

You can contact Richard by email – corkisthelee@gmail.com – or on Facebook: facebook.com/corkisthelee

Podcast

Cork is the Lee series benefits from the popularity and accessibility of the medium and its capacity to reach larger audiences. It will be disseminated through my podcast, Littoral Space.

Heritage Week workshop, Tuesday 20^th Aug, Geography Department, UCC

Participants will listen to a series of recordings that display distinct aspects of the river by combining the soundscape with people’s stories. This audio journey will take place in a slightly darkened space enabling attuning to rhythms and flows of the Lee.
