Hilary Rose

59 episodes · Explicit

Welcome to the Live Wild Podcast with IFTA nominated Irish actor, Hilary Rose. Hilary is best known for her role as Mairead in the hit film and TV series, The Young Offenders.

More about the show

In her private life Hilary is an adventurer and lover of living wild and free in a modern world. Her blog www.livewild.ie was well received which led to the production of this podcast.

Hilary interviews people from all walks of life, specially those who live and work outside the normal boundaries of society, those who are passionate about what they do, what they stand for and those who think outside the box.

Note from Hilary: Welcome to the first and second season of Live Wild. I'm so excited to share it with you all. I love all things wild from the food that I eat, to the thoughts that I think, to the actions that I take in the world. Freedom is a choice and it all begins within ourselves. Sometimes all it takes is a different viewpoint or a snippet of knowledge to set your lifestyle on an entirely different but extremely satisfying path. Hopefully some of these interviews will inspire you to do just that.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
