Sean Farrell’s debut novel, Frogs for Watchdogs, has one of the most memorable titles of this year’s new publications. The story it tells, likewise, lingers long in the mind.

Set in rural Ireland at the tail end of the 1980s, much of it is seen through the eyes of a young boy running wild in both his surroundings and his imagination.

As he struggles to adapt to changing family circumstances, and exert some control over his unsettled life, the boy’s creative powers turn ferociously destructive.

It’s a tale packed full of menace, yearning, and the intensity of childhood, brought vividly to life as an audiobook by two of Ireland’s finest narrators.

Join Sean and Red as they discuss the importance of storytelling in forming our own narratives, and why Sean chose to write from the perspective of a 7-year-old child.
