You can visit this magical place and go with cousins, Prince Ryan and Princess Kim, on a dragon hunt. You'll meet FLASH, a beautiful, friendly sort of dragon. Join us for the 3 part series of the adventures of Flash and his new friends. Stories in voice. (Part 1)

Taken from "Ireland: a novel"... tonight I'm going to tell you about the patron saint of Ireland-Saint Patrick, Saint Paddy, Saint Pat. Now you all know certain things about Saint Patrick. He wasn't yet a saint, of course, at the time I'm talking about. So we'll refer to him simply as 'Patrick,' and this is about the way he walked among us. I'm going to tell you how he converted the country from paganism. And then I'll tell you how he banished snakes and drove the devil out of Ireland. Offered in live voice by our own Shandon Loring.
