For our Xmas ep we interviewed my older bro - here’s the blurb;

Brother Richard Hendrick is a priest-friar of the Irish branch of the Capuchin Franciscan Order (as well as Dave’s actual older brother!) For over 20 years he has worked to bring the insights of the Christian Contemplative tradition to greater public awareness, particularly with reference to modern Mindfulness theory. He’s served as director of Youth Ministry for the Irish Capuchins for over ten years.He has also worked in hospital and prison relief chaplaincy roles and in parish work.

He is currently a member of the Church St community and Parish Priest in Halston St Church in Dublin’s north inner city.

He came by to talk to us about his cryptid theory, sudden internet stardom and his favourite apocalypse which both served to scare and surprise a young Ben Hennessy back in the day!
