Instead, they started Cillin Sum Time - a mother and son podcast that's equal parts laughter, real talk and resilience. Together they are breaking the mold because there aren't too many 16 year old/ 50 year podcast duos out there! From lighthearted banter and hot takes to honest updates on Cillian's journey to recovery, this show is all about finding joy and connection, even when life throws you a curveball. Grab your headphones, pull up a chair, and come chill with Cillin Sum Time - where we're turning setbacks into comebacks, one conversation at a time.episodicSusan McGrathsu@cillinsumtime.comyes<![CDATA[Knee Deep in Learning ]]>In this episode Cillian updates us on his recovery from mastering 'crutching' to conquering the art of sitting still - while we take a nostalgic detour back to school days in 1980s Ireland. From knicker shorts to knock outs, dominican nuns to digital classrooms, we compare what learning looked like then versus now. It's a mix of rehab, reminiscing and a few laughs along the way.

Instead of sitting around for months waiting to heal, we decided to make lemonade out of lemons and start a podcast following his journey to recovery and hopefully having some laughs along the way. Welcome to our first episode where we tell you about ourselves, what happened to Cillian and what we hope this podcast will be.

We might be a little all over the place right now, but stick with us - we'll find our rhythm soon enough.

Follow us on www.cillinsumtime.com, Instagram and Tiktok where we'll upload pictures throughout his journey.

No flags, no fumbles we're calling time and letting the conversation run.
