#120 How to be a villager 19.05.2026 43m"Everyone wants a village, but nobody wants to be a villager." Seo a ndeirtear faoi dhaoine sa lá atá inniu ann - we all want that community who will support us in uair na práinne, but are we bothered inconveniencing ourselves to support someone else? San eip seo, we discuss how to be a villager - showing up for friends instead of cancelling (yes, fiú má tá tú beagáinín tuirseach!), inviting people to tag along for errands, agus roinnt eile. Ach ar dtús, tá catch-up againn a bhí ana-overdue. Insíonn Louise dúinn faoin celeb a chonaic sí san Iodáil, agus déanann Doireann reenactment ar an drunk dial a fuair sí ó Louise i ndiaidh di an iomarca Aperol Spritzes a ól. Easily done...

How To Unite Ireland? - Episode 5 15.04.2026 56mArmagh man and GAA president Jarlath Burns is ea aoi na seachtaine seo ar an bpodchraoladh. What role does culture and GAA play in reconciliation? How can we bridge the gaps in our societies with sport and what does it mean to be an Ulster man? Na ceisteanna seo agus tuilleadh á phlé ag Uachtarán an CLG. In October 2025, BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It’s time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions. This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?
