It's always fun to chat to Claudia Carroll, one of Ireland's best known actresses from her iconic role as Nicola in Fair City. But her career as an author has taken her on to even greater heights with over 20 books to her name to date. One of them, "The Secrets of Primrose Square" opens as a stage play (her first) in the Everyman Theatre, and also stars Clelia Murphy, one of Claudia's lifelong friends and another star of Fair City. Elmarie spoke to Claudia before the show has its premier in Cork. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Moving day away from the studio at the 9-foot home made oak bar leads to a look towards the future as 2025 starts the final stretch. An anonymous MLB player labeled the White Sox a "dumpster fire through and through", but somehow that's only an indictment of the past and not necessarily a sign of a bad future. A stretch, sure, but then the Sox Nerd stretches some facts about Miguel Vargas hitting a grand slam and catchers' batting positions. So get on back there? It will...with "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert (used to) sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on the South Side of Chicago to discuss their favorite team - The Chicago White Sox in a podcast "For Fans, By Fans!"

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Alan O'Gorman, Writer of 'Christy'. 17-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. Kicked out of his suburban foster home, he moves in with his estranged older brother Shane and his young family. As far as Shane is concerned this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on Cork's working-class Northside. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his seemingly more corrupting extended family, despite Shane's efforts to protect him. Shane wants something better for Christy at any cost – even if it means he has to push him away. As the brothers look to reconcile their turbulent past, their family and the community around them offer hope for Christy's future. Christy is in cinemas from 29th August 2025. https://filmireland.net/

In the 1930s, musical Ferdinand “Jelly Roll” Morton identified the influence of Latin American rhythms like the habanera in jazz, as a sonic “tinge” that fundamentally shaped his style as a stride pianist. In the Seventies, disco presented its own Latin tinge. The Latin American and Latino influence on 1970s New York disco extended far beyond the familiar narratives of the Paradise Garage and Studio 54, creating vibrant spaces that celebrated cultural fusion and community. Clubs like the Ipanema Discotheque, Copacabana, and Roseland Ballroom became crucial venues where Latin rhythms, Brazilian beats, and Caribbean sounds mixed with emerging disco to create something entirely new. These spaces, often overlooked in mainstream disco histories, were essential to the genre's evolution—places where the infectious energy of Latin music met the innovative production techniques of American dance music. The DJs who commanded these dance floors brought not just technical skill but cultural knowledge, understanding how to weave together the musical traditions of their homelands with the cutting-edge sounds emerging from New York's studios and clubs. In the fourth episode of Season Two of Soundscapes NYC, hosts Ryan Purcell and Kristie Soares welcome DJs Ronnie Soares and Luis Mario Orellana Rizzo to explore the Latin American contributions to New York's disco revolution. Soares, born in Brazil and arriving in New York as a teenager, became a DJ by accident in 1974 when asked to spin a Brazilian night at the French club Directoire. Though initially a dancer, he quickly became resident DJ at the famed Ipanema Discotheque and went on to create "Midnight Disco" at Roseland Ballroom—the first club in the city to hold 5,000 people. Rizzo began his career at the very inception of club culture in 1969-70, learning from DJ Francis Grasso before working at legendary venues including Cork & Bottle and Copacabana. As the first DJ to tour nationally and internationally, Rizzo helped spread dance music globally while founding Legends of Vinyl, an archival project celebrating the art of DJing.
