About This Podcast
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.
