An investigation by BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme has found that untreated sewage is spilling into Belfast Lough from the Government owned company, Northern Ireland water. That's having a devastating impact on those who use the lough, particularly its shellfish industry.The Office for Environmental Protection has said it believes DEFRA may have broken environmental laws when allowing the use of neonicotinoid pesticides, in 2023 and 2024. Neonic seed treatments were banned because they are harmful to bees...but the Government has issued emergency authorisation allowing their use on sugar beet, for the last 4 years.A daily on-farm test for milk safety is being trialled by six dairy farms selling unpasteurised, or raw milk, direct to consumers. Un-pasteurised milk can contain bacteria that can cause food poisoning... At the moment, raw milk is tested, but often the results aren't available until AFTER it's been sold and drunk. We visit one of the farms involved in the trial.And not all the people who work in food and farming are farmers... As part of our focus on labour in the food supply chain, we meet members of the "Young Women in Poultry Production" group.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Rebecca Rooney
James Williams convenes Walescast's very own Council of the Nations and Regions to preview the inaugural meeting of the UK government's new vehicle for strengthening its work with the governments of the devolved nations. BBC Scotland's Phil Sim, Jayne McCormack from BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Wales' very own Daniel Davies all squeeze around the table to try and work out what that might mean in practice.

BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight has spoken to mothers who are struggling to cope with sons whose complex needs can lead to aggressive outbursts – often leaving themselves and other family members injured. The NHS used to supply respite care that would give those families a break of one or two nights per month. But that care has been evaporating in Northern Ireland due to a number of factors – including the loss of facilities and an increasing number of children who have gone into full-time care. Spotlight presenter Tara Mills and Julie Tipping, one of the mums featured in the documentary join Kylie Pentelow.Women working in the adult entertainment industry are being put at risk by banks not allowing them to open accounts or denying them financial services. That's what industry representatives are saying, and why the Financial Conduct Authority recently issued new guidelines for banks around allowing sex workers to access their services. To find out more we hear from Clio Wood, a women's health advocate and co-founder of CensHERship, Jessica Van Meir, co-founder of MintStars and Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn.The language used by healthcare professionals to describe pregnancy loss exacerbates the grief and trauma experienced by some individuals. Words such as incompetent cervix, products of conception, and empty sac to name but a few. That's according to a study published this month by University College London. We hear from Dr Beth Malory, Lecturer in English Linguistics at UCL who led the study.Romalyn Ante is a Filipino-British poet who also works as a nurse in the NHS. She has just released her second poetry collection, Agimat, which looks at how we keep safe that which we hold most dear. Romalyn talks about what the new collection means to her and why she wanted to combine Filipino mythology and tradition with her own experiences of fighting against Covid.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey
With autumn in the air, Gardeners' Corner with David Maxwell is celebrating blackberries both wild and cultivated varieties. Mary Doris joins David in studio and shows him some of the ways she puts nature's bounty to good use. In Ballymena, Colin Agnew has created his own botanic gardens out the back of his suburban semi. It includes a Victorian style fernery and a very personal collection of trees. On Black Mountain above Belfast, sound and gardening are combined at the Black Mountain Shared Space and with BBC Northern Ireland celebrating 100 years of broadcasting, David dips into the archive to hear the first gardening presenter, Professor A E Muskett. He also chats to Prof Muskett's daughter, Doreen, about her memories of the BBC in a bygone age. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
With just over a week to go until the UK heads to the polls for the general election, what's the situation for women voters in Northern Ireland? BBC Northern Ireland political correspondent Jayne McCormack joins Nuala McGovern to discuss what political candidates there are offering women.Days ahead of a UN summit on Afghanistan, which is set to exclude Afghan women, reports are surfacing from teenage girls and young women arrested by the Taliban for wearing 'bad hijab' that they have been subjected to sexual violence and assault in detention. Zarghuna Kargar joins Nuala.The term ‘matrescence' has been around since the 70s, but it's only recently becoming more commonly known as a concept. It describes the process of becoming a new mother, and the emotional and physical changes you go through after the birth of your child. But then how should we talk about the experience of matrescence when your kids are teenagers, you're in mid-life and you start the menopause? The parenting expert and childcare author Sarah Ockwell-Smith has a name for that – inspired by a Greek goddess, she calls it ‘demetrescence' and she explains all to Nuala.Faith Omole is best known as an actress but now she's well on the way to be know at least as well for her writing too. Last week her first performed play, My Father's Fable, premiered at Bush Theatre in London. It tells a gripping story of grief, belonging, and a family on the edge. And in a BBC first, Radio 3's Georgia Mann will be at Glastonbury this year. She is opening the Crow's Nest stage on Friday, spinning classical tunes in a DJ set. She joins Nuala McGovern to discuss how she has selected the music for her set and how prepared she is for camping.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Laura Northedge
Spruce trees may not be viable in the UK in the long term because of a pest which is now in the country. Restrictions on spruce trees have been extended after spruce bark beetles were found in East Anglia. The beetle was first found the the UK in 2018 and areas of the South East of England have been under restriction - that has now been extended to cover much of Norfolk and Suffolk. In the longer term, foresters may have to look for alternatives to Spruce.A chicken producer in Northern Ireland has breached environmental laws repeatedly, but not faced prosecution. An investigation into water pollution by BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight found that Moy Park, Northern Ireland which supplies chickens throughout the UK and Europe, has breached laws on more than 500 occasions.And pollinators are very important to farmers - pollinating crops from apples to oil seed rape and field beans - and so are worth millions to the UK economy. But across Europe, numbers are declining. The UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee has found that, as of 2022, there had been a 24% decrease in pollinator numbers compared with 1980. We visit several farms where efforts are being made to increase their numbers.Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

As politicians look set to return to Stormont in Northern Ireland, we look at what that means for food and farming. For farmers a full-time working government could mean more clarity on the way forward for post-Brexit farm subsidies. Could it mean the end of customs checks on goods from Great Britain which remain in Northern Ireland and do not cross the border into the Republic and the EU's Single Market? We speak to BBC Northern Ireland's agriculture and environment correspondent to help unpick what impact this is likely to have on agriculture and trade.The new biosecurity regulations on imported goods from the EU have just come into force. More stringent checks are being carried out including on many food consignments. A report just published by the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee of MPs says it's concerned about cuts in funding for spot checks on animal products and the fact that the location for these is 22 miles away from the Port of Dover. All week we're looking at trade and how British importers and exporters are faring with post-Brexit changes. Coombe Castle in Wiltshire exports dairy products around the world. They say friction at the border with Europe and the ending of the trade deal with Canada last year, is going to hit them hard, because Canada accounted for a third of their cheese exports.Upland hill farmers have accused the government of failing to support them. Despite recent increases in subsidy payments, announced by DEFRA earlier this month, hill farmers say many of the new schemes still don't work for them. The payments are part of the post-Brexit Environmental Land Management Schemes brought in to replace payments under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy.

Starting on BBC Two, BBC Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer tonight, Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland gives voice to the people who lived through the Troubles, sharing intimate stories from all sides of the conflict. The series airs today on the anniversary of the referendum that ratified the Good Friday Agreement, on 22nd May 1998. Nuala is joined by two women, Denise and Bernadette, who chose to take part in the series to share their stories. As the Online Safety Bill progresses through the House of Lords, the former culture secretary Baroness Morgan of Cotes has tabled an amendment to the Bill calling for a Violence Against Women and Girls Code of Practice. She said a code is desperately needed to specifically address the harms to women and girls. Further discussions will take place this week on the Bill. Baroness Nicky Morgan joins Nuala to discuss. How do you feel if someone tells you you're 'looking good for your age'? Not so secretly thrilled? Slightly indignant? Why are we likely to take it as a compliment if someone believes you look younger than you actually are? The American businesswoman and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart recently became the oldest woman on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and has been praised for looking less than her 81 years. Why? Nuala is joined by Sam Baker of The Shift podcast, and Lucy Baker who blogs as The Geriatric Mum. A new menopause drug to deal with hot flushes could be available by the end of the year in the UK. The non-hormonal drug fezolinetant has been hailed as 'game-changing' by some experts. At the same time, the supply of the HRT drug Utrogestan has been restricted by the government because of shortages. To find out more, Nuala is joined by Dr Annice Mukherjee, a consultant endocrinologist and visiting professor at the University of Coventry; and Dr Nina Wilson, an NHS GP and founder of the One Woman Health menopause clinic.

Le forze di sicurezza britanniche mettono in campo in terra inglese il più alto dispiegamento di uomini durante i Troubles in una singola operazione.

Will Sunak's new deal with the EU solve the vexed issue of a customs border in the Irish Sea? Can the “Windsor Framework” finally bring the rancorous Brexit debate to an end? How will it work?

To examine the Windsor Framework the IfG's Jill Rutter and Jess Sergeant are joined by special guests Georgie Wright of the Institute Montaigne, John Campbell of BBC Northern Ireland and Sam McBride of the Belfast Telegraph. “This deal gives business most of what it was asking for.” – John Campbell “We can't be certain of how the deal will work but it's a hell of a lot better than the previous one.” – Sam McBride “There's trust for Sunak in the EU that just wasn't there for Boris Johnson.” – Georgie Wright “You do have to ask, how much are UK products really going to diverge from EU standards in future?” – John Campbell Presented by Jill Rutter with Jess Sargeant.

Gerry Adams cerca di portare l'IRA verso la strada del dialogo e decide di intavolare trattative segrete con altri partiti irlandesi, tra cui l'SDLP di John Hume.I gruppi lealisti, di contro, continuano con la loro campagna di omicidi settari verso la comunità cattolica mentre l'IRA si rende responsabile di azioni atroci verso civili nordirlandesi che non hanno alcun precedente nella storia dei Troubles. Michael dal canto suo, ormai adolescente, inizierà a toccare con mano la realtà dei disordini in Irlanda del Nord e per la prima volta la violenza busserà alla porta della sua famiglia.Produzione, post-produzione e sound design: Samuele Sciarrillo Supervisione storica: Riccardo MichelucciIn questo episodio hanno partecipato: Michael Phillips, Danny Morrison (scrittore e giornalista nordirlandese, ex-direttore nazionale della comunicazione per lo Sinn Féin).Ispirato al LIBRO:"A Belfast boy.

Siamo a metà degli anni '80 e l'IRA è impegnata nell'approvvigionamento di armi dagli USA e la Libia, mentre la Thatcher tenta di isolare politicamente i repubblicani con l'accordo di Hillsborough. Il conflitto si gioca però anche su un terreno molto controverso e per certi versi sconvolgente, quello della cosiddetta “guerra sporca”, dove non sarà più chiaro chi sia il tuo vero alleato oppure nemico. Michael, ormai un bambino di undici anni, prende intanto consapevolezza del contesto sociale in cui vive e avrà modo di toccare con mano gli effetti della “guerra sporca” nella sua comunità.Nel novembre del 1987 l'Irlanda verrà sconvolta da uno degli eventi più drammatici di tutta la storia dei Troubles, la strage di Enniskillen… Produzione, post-produzione e sound design: Samuele Sciarrillo Supervisione storica: Riccardo Michelucci In questo episodio hanno partecipato: Michael Phillips, Jacqueline Phillips (doppiaggio: Nadia Scarlato), Danny Morrison (scrittore e giornalista nordirlandese, ex-direttore nazionale della comunicazione per lo Sinn Féin).Ispirato al LIBRO:"A Belfast boy.

L'IRA colpisce per la prima volta durante i Troubles l'establishment inglese. La Thatcher, salita da poco al potere, dichiarerà che la guerra contro l'IRA sarà la sua priorità da primo ministro. Gerry Adams intanto riorganizza il gruppo paramilitare e lo prepara alla cosiddetta lunga guerra. Lo sciopero della fame dei detenuti dell'IRA all'interno dei blocchi H sarà invece l'evento che cambierà per sempre la storia dei Troubles e sarà la causa di un'estenuante guerra di nervi tra la Thatcher e il gruppo repubblicano e il cui esito sarà drammatico. Intanto i Phillips vedranno l'arrivo di un nuovo membro in famiglia, Michael. Insieme a lui ripercorreremo i suoi primi ricordi da bambino tra le marce orangiste di Belfast e New Castle. Sarà proprio in quest'ultima località che verrà raggiunto da una notizia molto triste.

Nel 1974 la Provisional IRA annuncia il cessate il fuoco, evento che alimenta qualche speranza in Irlanda del Nord. Tuttavia, gli attentati e gli omicidi settari dei gruppi paramilitari di matrice protestante non cennano a diminuire, trascinando sempre più il paese in una nuova spirale di violenza. In particolare, un evento drammatico colpirà una famosa band irlandese, mentre un secondo toccherà da vicino un membro della famiglia Phillips.Ai vertici del movimento repubblicano intanto arrivano Gerry Adams e Martin McGuinness, che riportano il gruppo paramilitare sulla linea dell'intransigenza verso gli inglesi.Produzione, post-produzione e sound design: Samuele Sciarrillo Supervisione storica: Riccardo MichelucciIn questo episodio hanno partecipato: Michael Phillips, Jacqueline Phillips (doppiaggio: Nadia Scarlato).Ispirato al LIBRO:"A Belfast boy.

L'arrivo dell'esercito inglese in Irlanda, invece di calmare le acque, contribuisce ad esacerbare gli animi. Gli eventi precipitano irrimediabilmente domenica 30 gennaio 1972, il giorno che verrà ricordato da tutti come la Bloody Sunday. In quello stesso anno l'opinione pubblica irlandese verrà profondamente scossa da un fatto drammatico che coinvolgerà una giovane donna di Belfast e i suoi dieci figli. La famiglia Phillips intanto cerca di resistere alle pressioni quotidiane dei disordini nella capitale nordirlandese ma nel 1974 prenderà una decisione che cambierà il suo futuro.Produzione, post-produzione e sound design: Samuele Sciarrillo Supervisione storica: Riccardo Michelucci In questo episodio hanno partecipato: Michael Phillips, Irene Phillips (doppiaggio: Silvia Rossini) e Jacqueline Phillips (doppiaggio: Nadia Scarlato)Ispirato al LIBRO:"A Belfast boy.

Pulitzer prize winning poet, Paul Muldoon, is one of a large number of Northern Ireland artists who spent some of their formative years, in the 1970s and 80s, contributing to BBC Northern Ireland's schools and arts programming. Nobel Laureate, the late Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley and Derek Mahon were amongst a tight knit group who regularly wrote and narrated scripts and took part in live discussion programmes. Muldoon was a staff producer for thirteen years and agrees with many of his former colleagues that radio played a major role in developing his writing skills with its imaginative pull and the disciplines of clarity, conciseness and use of sound. Paul and his colleagues created a new, sometimes controversial, wave of programmes exploring identity, religion, language, history and culture – highly contested areas in Northern Ireland - and they are credited with helping their audiences, particularly schoolchildren, come to a better understanding of their divided society. Northern Ireland's divisions and politics posed huge dilemmas for the BBC, in Belfast and London, from its earliest days. As the corporation marks its centenary, Paul returns to Broadcasting House, in Belfast, to trace some of the landmark programming from this 'contrary region' and reflect on the output he and his colleagues crafted during some of the worst years of the Troubles. He discusses with his close friend and fellow poet, Michael Longley and former schools producer, Pat Loughrey, the challenges they faced and he asks broadcasting historians, Jean Seaton and Gillian McIntosh for their assessments of the contribution poets and writers made to BBC Northern Ireland over the century.

A ground breaking five part series from exciting new writers celebrating and revealing life across the United Kingdoms in short, sharp drama, comedy, news reports, song and poetic monologue. Stories, lives and voices making a kaleidoscope of now. Each episode features five short dramas by different writers - a total of 50 writers and 100 actors have been brought together, showcasing new writing and performing talent from every corner of the United Kingdom. Episode 1: Fearing – a moving and powerful look at 21st Century United Kingdoms. • MUSSELBURGH - An exhausted woman retires to bed for three days and reflects on her failings, only to realise they are a key to hope not fear. • ERYRI, SNOWDONIA - A narrative song that explores how a child overcomes their fear about fitting in to a Welsh-speaking community. Sound Design by Nigel Lewis. • RANDALSTOWN, COUNTY ANTRIM - A conversational poetic monologue that discusses how fear uses semantics as camouflage and a place to hide in, as though fear is a spirit that inhabits words and is loosed into our neural pathways as a result. • UNTHANK - A surreal comedy about your life shrinking, literally. Ivy is learning to live with her wheelchair, but fear of change has a dramatic effect on her Cumbrian farmhouse. • TANKERTON - When house-mates leave and your zero hours contract ends, where else is there to turn in lockdown, if not home? But home is no place for the in-between, the non-conforming, so they pitch their tent on the edge of the sea and allow the waves, the sky and land to be home.

Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere in the body, often around reproductive organs, bowel and bladder. This can cause inflammation, pain and scar tissue. We hear about a new study which uses Dichloroacetate as a treatment. Jessica Rafferty talks to use about her experience which includes more than 200 visits to the hospital. And we also hear from Andrew Horne, Professor of Gynaecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Litter! Get annoyed when it’s all over the place? Find yourself picking up other people's rubbish? What about all those covid masks? Is it mostly women leading the charge on litter? We hear from you. Theoretically women can now get an abortion in Northern Ireland. The new law came into force last year but in reality it's a very different story. It's hard to access services and some women are still travelling to England and Ireland. The Northern Ireland Secretary, Brandon Lewis, has stepped in and said the Northern Ireland Executive must do something about it. We get the latest from Jayne McCormack, political reporter at BBC Northern Ireland, and Les Allamby, Chief Commissioner from the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission. And we talk about the portraits on display at the National Portrait Gallery. Why are most of them of men, and why are they created by mostly male painters? How do experts plan to change things?
April 1933. Belfast Gaol. Prisoner 1192, Harold Courtney, is executed for the brutal murder of Minnie Reid. Or was he? Did the right man hang? Digging deep, journalist Gordon Adair attempts to find out*, because locally, he's heard a strange tale. Of plots, threats, deceit and cover-up. It's a trail that takes the investigation across the globe – and of people who, 90 years on, still believe this is a case that shouldn't be talked about. Was there a miscarriage of justice? Was justice not done for the young Minnie Reid? And how much of this tale is true? To unravel it takes Gordon back almost a century, and from rural Northern Ireland to urban melting-pot Australia. Tracking down witnesses like the children who found Minnie's body in a lonely Armagh lane, and uncovering secret records, maps and letters not seen since 1933, Gordon also consults police, pathology, and capital punishment experts. The results surprise him. Shining a light on a ‘lost decade' in Northern Ireland, they uncover a shadowy taboo history that's rarely explored. Assume Nothing, BBC Northern Ireland's new podcast strand goes to air before this increasingly unpredictable investigation is concluded.

In 2000, the Northern Irish motorbike racing champion, Joey Dunlop, was killed in a high-speed crash in Estonia. Dunlop was loved by fans across the sectarian divide for his fearless riding and modest personality. Tens of thousands of people attended the funeral for a champion who also gave up his free time to take aid to orphanages in Eastern Europe.

Digging deep, journalist Gordon Adair attempts to find out*, because locally, he's heard a strange tale. Of plots, threats, deceit and cover-up. It's a trail that takes the investigation across the globe – and of people who, 90 years on, still believe this is a case that shouldn't be talked about. Was there a miscarriage of justice? Was justice not done for the young Minnie Reid? And how much of this tale is true? To unravel it takes Gordon back almost a century, and from rural Northern Ireland to urban melting-pot Australia. Tracking down witnesses like the children who found Minnie's body in a lonely Armagh lane, and uncovering secret records, maps and letters not seen since 1933, Gordon also consults police, pathology, and capital punishment experts. The results surprise him. Shining a light on a ‘lost decade' in Northern Ireland, they uncover a shadowy taboo history that's rarely explored. Assume Nothing, BBC Northern Ireland's new podcast strand goes to air before this increasingly unpredictable investigation is concluded.

In the 1960s, doctors in Northern Ireland launched the world’s first mobile coronary emergency service using a new invention – the portable defibrillator. The defibrillators – which initially worked off ambulance car batteries - saved dozens of heart attack victims every year. Modern versions are now commonly seen and used in places like offices and shopping malls. The man behind the portable defibrillator was Belfast hospital doctor Frank Pantridge. Simon Watts tells his story using the BBC Northern Ireland archives. PHOTO: A defibrillator in use (Science Photo Library)

It was a great pleasure to interview Lawrence Jackson for this week’s Nostalgia Interview. Lawrence is Head of Film Practice in the School of Arts at the University of Kent, and in this wide-ranging interview Lawrence discusses how he came into his profession from the film, radio and TV industry. He has taught screenwriting and Lawrence tells us why he especially relates to the protagonist in the comedy film ‘Mindhorn’. Lawrence tells us why he doesn’t consider his native Guildford to be the coolest place in the country and we learn why his childhood was idyllic when growing up in the vicinity of Wookey Hole. We find out what his earliest memory was (involving grass and daisies under his bare feet) and Lawrence sheds insight on what it is that our apprehensions and expectations of a place come from. The youngest of three children, and the only boy in the family, Lawrence played a lot in his own fantasy world as a child at a time of ‘Blake’s 7’ and ‘Dr. Who’ and we find out that Lawrence was quite ‘outdoorsy’. He grew up surrounded by lots of ‘whodunnit’ novels which he reveals he was afraid to read through fear that he would be murdered. He loved pop music , especially ELO and we find out why he especially related to ‘The Diary of Horace Wimp’. Lawrence thought that The Traveling Wilburys were gold dust but that his housemates hated it, and that his sister hated his love of Teardrop Explodes. We also learn about how he went through a phase of liking San Francisco acid rock. We discover why Lawrence thinks that the Goombay Dance Band’s ‘Seven Tears’ is unspeakably bad and he reveals that he used to write down the charts every week (and we find out in a candid confession what it was that stopped him from doing so). He would know what was number 1 in the charts when his friends were born. We learn how Lawrence entered academia and why he believes it is important not to censure people’s ideas. He was a film buff while he was studying Modern Languages at Oxford, from where he went to Bournemouth Film School which, as he explains, produced some very talented filmmakers. He also worked for BBC Northern Ireland and he tells us about his experience of sitting on the Berlin Wall in 1989. In terms of politics, Lawrence’s family background is right of centre and Church of England, which he explains is not his ideology, and he tells us why he reacted against Thatcher’s Britain and about the time he went to church every Sunday but later grew out of it. We also discover why he was so disappointed when John Major won the General Election in 1992. In the final part of the interview we learn why Lawrence’s memories are predominantly positive and why it is that going to boarding school at age 13 was a key experience. He believes that he has fulfilled the dreams he had when he was young and is more of a looking forward than a looking back type of person. Please note: Opinions expressed are solely those of Chris Deacy and Lawrence Jackson and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the University of Kent.

'Dear Albrecht, Everyone had hair like that - did they? I'll take your word for it. You were very good at hair, can I just say?' In a series of imaginary correspondences, Ian Sansom is writing letters to five of history's most celebrated artists and interrogating them about, well, just about everything. 'Dear Caravaggio, you're the sort of man who might know: what is wrong with us?' As the missives fly much is revealed about their lives as well as about Ian's current state of mind. Albrecht Durer is looking for an App developer. When Caravaggio asks for help finding a patron Ian suggests a crowd funding website. Meanwhile, how did Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron get hold of Ian's address? Did her great niece Virginia Woolf pass on his details? And should he really be telling the Tate Modern that Picasso was having a mid-life crisis in 1932? In his on-going quest to write more epistles than St Paul, it seems Ian is receiving surprising replies from some of our best-loved artists. Producer - Mark McCleary for BBC Northern Ireland

Author Carlo Gebler has spent nearly three decades working in the Northern Ireland prison system as a teacher of creative writing. He's been in all the prisons there - including the notorious Maze/Long Kesh H-Blocks - and has done everything from basic literacy to high end literature; letters to victims to Open University essays. As many of the prisoners Carlo has worked with in their cells would testify, he's spent a long time inside. Now Carlo wants to know if prison arts and education made any difference to the lives of those he taught. He meets the inmates attending classes in the education and skills section of HMP Magilligan on Northern Ireland's north coast. He visits his former boss who each day would tell him his job was not to teach, but to be a human being. He catches up with some of the former prisoners he worked with over many years and finds out what they're doing now. Looking back at the protocols and practices which characterised his prison work, Carlo asks about the true potential of arts and education when it comes to punishment and rehabilitation.

Very excited to welcome legendary food journalist and Observer restaurant critic JAY RAYNER for the eye-opening, jaw-dropping hard truths of Britain’s Brexitised food policy.Are we really only days away from empty shelves in the event of Hard Brexit? Why is our food culture still shaped by the effects of WWII? Which parts of EU food policy ARE a disaster (that we won’t be able to influence once we leave)?

Thanks again for joining us here at The Comedy Cast. http://thecomedycast.com Regular listeners will know that I'm a massive fan of what's going on in Northern Ireland's comedy scene, indeed the whole culture scene up there. Finally there's a generation of people taking to the stage in their chosen medium who aren't burdened with the yoke of 'The Troubles' and they're emerging from and showing the rest of us the new Northern Ireland. Marcus Keeley is a man that will be more than well-known to comedy nerds in Ireland, not only because of his unique take on comedy, but also for his work putting and promoting gigs. We start off by talking about coming from Northern Ireland and how he enjoys living under a constant vibe of tension, how 'it could all kick off at any time'. We have a chat too about Marcus moving to Norwich for university and nearly being murdered by a British Royal Marine for no other reason that he was from Northern Ireland. When we got onto comedy I discovered that Marcus' stage career had actually begun with poetry so we spoke about that for a while, slam poetry gets a special mention. We had a talk too about Marcus involvement with improv comedy, most recently with Wonderfrog, a really excellent Belfast-based improv group (video below). We speak too about Marcus' love for making videos and we speak about some of the ones on his excellent YouTube channel. Finally then we speak about Voicebox Comedy, a comedy night that Marcus ran for years in Belfast, most recently in LOFT. A disused art gallery that recently was knocked down. Voicebox is on a bit of a break but he tells me he's hopefully of it coming back in the future
Comedians Tim McGarry, Jake O' Kane, Neil Delamere and Colin Murphy find the funny side of what and who is making the news headlines over the past seven days. Series Producer: Jackie Hamilton A Moondog Production for BBC Northern Ireland.
Today you're going to be hearing from one of Northern Ireland's most hotly-tipped stand-up comedians, Micky Bartlett. Listeners will certainly have heard his name before on the Graeme Watson episode and you all know by know that I have a major thing for the current Northern Irish comedy scene so I had to get Micky on as a guest. We had a great laugh together, really did. Micky has to be one of the most relaxed comedians we're ever had on and it felt far more like a conversation over a pint than an interview. Nonetheless we nattered about how and why he got into comedy, ducking out of comedy for two full years after dying on his arse one night and making videos with, and being the victim of, the very talented Colin Geddis. We spoke too about Micky's influences, growing up in Northern Ireland; while some of his friends wanted woolly faces all he wanted to do was play Streets of Rage. We spoke too about STIs and trying to make doctors laugh, his successful stint on the BBC Northern Ireland panel show Monumental and dealing easily with being labelled as Northern Ireland's next big stand-up comedian. It was an absolute pleasure to talk to Micky, he's a real what you see is what you get and although this is for a podcast you get what I mean. His stand-up show is nothing short of utterly hilarious and I sincerely thing he's only a couple of more tours away from greatness.

Trish Deseine may not be a household name in the UK. But in France, the home of gastronomy, her 12 cookbooks, all written in French, have sold hundreds and thousands of copies, and influenced a generation of chefs, food writers and home cooks. She has won international awards and in 2009, was named one of the 40 most influential women in France by French Vogue magazine. But don't let a surname deceive you. Trish was born and raised in Northern Ireland, and now, after spending more than 25 years in France, she has released her first book on Irish food, and is returning there to live and work. 'Home: Recipes from Ireland' was released at the start of October and is already up for an Irish Book Award. Trish fronts a TV series on BBC Northern Ireland starting this week. In this programme, Trish speaks to Sheila about her life and career, and the people and food that have shaped it. They meet in Paris, Trish's home for most of her time in France, and she shares the food, flavours, and fresh produce which will always remind her of the city. Sheila asks Paris-based chef Stéphane Reynaud and the owner of the largest cookbook shop in the world, Déborah Dupont-Daguet, about the impact that Trish's writing has had in France. And asks why, after all these years, Trish is returning home to Ireland. Presented by Sheila Dillon. Produced by Clare Salisbury.
