With many listeners staying off the booze in January, I’m joined by Irish actor and comic Joe O’Neill, who quit alcohol almost a year ago for at least 12 months, to talk about the difference it has made to his life and health.

Joe is one of the driving forces behind the Irish Creative Collective in London, which runs events and networking opportunities for writers, artists and musicians.

A very special Christmas edition focusing on “Back Home – A Christmas Concert”, which will take place in Dublin and be streamed live to the Irish community around the world on Dec 21. 

I spoke to Aimee van Wylick, the woman behind much of the “To Be Irish” project about this creative endeavour, and I am also joined by cellist Patrick Dexter about how he shot to fame during the pandemic and what tunes he will play as part of this Yuletide celebration of the global Irish community.

In this episode we visit one of the longest-established, yet smallest, Irish communities abroad as I talk to Irish academic Luke Field about life as a politics lecturer and researcher in Reykjavik, Iceland.

With the soccer World Cup taking place in Qatar, I met up with brilliant Irish musician Martin Farragher – known as Faraway Martin – to talk about having hits in the Middle East, what life is really like here and what needs to change, and how. 

Irish sporting legend Cora Staunton blazed a trail in Gaelic football (and soccer, and rugby …) before going Down Under to become one of the most feared scorers in Australian Rules football. She talks about turning pro, her burning desire to win and bouncing back from a horrific injury to become better than ever before.
