About this listen

The Tides That Tie
Two islands. Two countries. One unbreakable bond.

The Tides That Tie explores the extraordinary connection between Beaver Island, Michigan, and Arranmore, County Donegal, Ireland—two communities officially twinned and bound by history, heritage, and heart.

Hosted by Kevin Green and Ron Gregg, each episode dives into the stories, traditions, and challenges that shape life on these islands. From fishing heritage to emigration to celebration, we share voices from both sides of the Atlantic, bringing to life the people and events that keep this transatlantic friendship thriving.

Produced by the Beaver Island Irish Heritage Group, this is more than a podcast—it’s a living bridge between two shores.

    Why has Ireland been so outspoken about Palestine?

    In this episode of The Tides That Tie, guest host Micaela Cole of Beaver Island is joined by Brian Proctor and Fiona Ní Ghlóinn of Arranmore to explore why this issue resonates so deeply in Ireland.

    Rather than advocating a position, this conversation focuses on context — how Irish history, colonial experience, displacement, and control of narrative continue to shape empathy and response today. Drawing on island life, generational memory, and lived experience, the episode offers American listeners insight into why many Irish people see familiar patterns when they look at Palestine.

    This is a conversation about history, understanding, and how the past continues to inform how communities respond to the world around them.
