A monk trained by the disciples of Patrick.A teacher who shaped Brendan the Navigator.A founder who built where a wheel broke — and changed a landscape forever. Tuam did not begin as a town. It began as a sign. In this episode, we uncover the story of a saint who didn’t seek fame, power, or glory — but whose quiet legacy still echoes through Ireland’s faith, identity, and memory. Who was Jarlath?Why did Brendan send him wandering in old age?And what does it mean when a broken wheel becomes destiny? Press play — and rediscover a forgotten founder. —Hosted by Liam BlakeThe History & Heritage Podcast
