Required Listening

To go hand in hand with the required reading post above, here are radio programs to listen to while perusing your papers...
The one thing I have discovered over my radio listening life is that I'm a sucker for Kerry accents, hence why the list is weighed heavily towards those from the Kingdom...
1) Small Hours, Today FM nightly 12-2am.
2) Failte Isteach, RTE Radio 1, Saturday nights, 10pm
3) South Wind Blows, RTE Radio 1, Saturday nights, 8pm
4 The JK Ensemble, Lyric FM, weekday afternoons, 2.30-4.30pm
5) For the weekend mornings its still the best, and her voice is still great...Marian Finucane, RTE Radio 1, Saturday/Sunday mornings 11am-1pm

So then, I'm sure Failte Isteach is going to be the one that either has people going huh, what's that? Or...why? Simply because Donnacha O'Dulaing is not a broadcasting legend without good reason, and secondly because there is a purity about the show that is unmatched by most shows across any medium. Give it a chance if you happen to be in some Saturday night.
