About Rince Radio:
Rince Resource, my channel on Youtube, has existed since about 2007 as a way to help other dancers and teachers with dance choreography, something I have provided since.
In about 2013, I started changing the focus of the channel to podcasting because at the time I was a host of the “Irish Aires” radio show in Houston, broadcast on 90.1 FM KPFT. These interviews started out as a project for the radio show. In time, I wanted a platform for just these types of interviews and decided to turn Rince Resource into “Rince Radio” because they started out on the radio for a radio show. Over time, the Youtube channel became a resource for providing interviews to open up and discuss the very incomplete story of Irish dance culture as told to me by both my own teachers and many Irish dance teachers I have talked to over my 26 years as a dancer and teacher. I wanted to fix that and paint a more accurate picture of what I think is the best form of dancing there is.
To date, I have recorded approximately 210 interviews, though about 8 have been deleted for various reasons. At present (1/27/2025) there are 201 interviews published with interview #200 not produced yet, but reserved for my friend Irish dance teacher and judge Darren Maguire who recently passed away. Darren’s interview will be produced in time with permission from his family. Darren was one of the first interviews I recorded for Irish Aires. Interview 200 will be an episode for his friends and family to commemorate his life.
Fun fact: My very first interview (before the radio show or youtube channel was changed) was in about 2010 with the Gothard Sisters who are a family Irish band which combines Irish dance with Irish music. That interview has been lost (not deleted) and try as I might, I can’t find it!
Rince Radio is the longest running, largest collection of Irish dance and music podcasts to date. In fact, it’s larger than all other interview-based Irish dance-related podcasts combined.
Rince Radio is also in the process of being archived at both the University of Limerick and the Irish Traditional Music Association.
Several researchers have used this collection for their projects. Feel free to use it for that purpose, it’s here for that. However, please do not cut and splice any interview found on this page or the youtube channel without first obtaining written permission from me. All of my interviews on this and the youtube channel are copyrighted. Any use of them in terms of publishing them or using them as part of any published project would need written permission from me first.
