Shane McCarthy has built an online following by being himself, dedicating his platform to authenticity, real conversations, and humour, but speaking with I Love Limerick recently, he described how the lifestyle comes with both positive and negative challenges.
Speaking about his growing profile, Shane said becoming well known for authenticity can be nerve-wracking, as it brings “so much love and so much hate” at the same time.
Shane told I Love Limerick, “ It’s a nerve-wracking thing because you’re exposed to so much love and so much hate online, and stuff like that.”
The Kerry man explained how the idea that he can use his platform to help others is “one thing that keeps me going”.
A proud Kerryman, Shane is also widely known for speaking openly about diversity and inclusion. He has consistently challenged stereotypes about the travelling community, emphasising that travellers are simply people who deserve respect.
He told I Love Limerick, “ I feel like I touch on different things like LGBTQ+, being a traveller, and I have friends who are from different backgrounds, ethnicities, minorities, and cultures. And as long as you are nice to me, and I know it sounds so cliché, I am just happy to take a person for who they are, genuinely.”
Although Kerry is home, Shane has developed a strong connection with Limerick, where much of his work now takes place. He said, “ I love Limerick people. I love everyone, but Limerick people are my type of people. And even though I love Kerry as well, I suppose it’s the bigger city. It tends to be a lot of my work. And I suppose, naturally, over time, without choosing, I ended up steering this way more.
“There’s a lot of content creators or just friends in general that I have up here. And it just happened more naturally. But I love Limerick.”
Join Shane McCarthy for the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast as he sits down each week for honest, hilarious, and unfiltered chats about life, love, pop culture, and everything in between. Known for his quick wit, iconic one-liners, and unapologetic storytelling, Shane dives deep into the things everyone’s thinking but few will say out loud.
