His feature films include Autobiographical Filmmaker Seeks Camera-Friendly Companion (2025), The Sheik and I (2012), I Am a Sex Addict (2005), In the Bathtub of the World (2001), I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore (1994), and A Little Stiff (1991). He is also the creator of the web series The Show About the Show and the writer/host of the podcast 365 Stories I Want To Tell You Before We Both Die.With Ulysses, New York, Zahedi attempts to do to Joyce's Ulysses what Joyce did to Homer's The Odyssey: transpose a canonical work into a new time, place and form. The events of 16 June 1904 in Dublin are reimagined as taking place on 16 June 2022 in New York City, on the centenary of the novel's publication. Following eight actors performing in a Bloomsday stage production of Ulysses, the film moves between Joyce's chapters onstage and the corresponding hours of the actors' real day. This special presentation features a work-in-progress version of the introductory episode, followed by a discussion with Zahedi on the challenges of adapting Joyce.Bloomsday Film FestivalIreland's most literary film festival was established as a celebration of cinema, literature, and artistic innovation, inspired by the far-reaching influence of Ireland's father of modernism, James Joyce. The festival is presented in partnership with the Bloomsday Festival and the James Joyce Centre, and runs from 11–16 June, with screenings hosted at the historic James Joyce Centre and the Irish Film Institute (IFI). Continuing its annual traditions, the festival marks the birthday of W.B. Yeats on 13 June with a curated programme of poetry and literature-inspired short films. On 14 June, in keeping with Joyce's radical and experimental spirit, the programme showcases a selection of innovative experimental films. The following day, 15 June, celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Dubliners with screenings of Joycean short films and adaptations of Dublin-based stories.Alongside its cinematic programme, the Bloomsday Film Festival presents a diverse range of events, including director Q&As, workshops, musical performances, and poetry readings. At its core, the festival is committed to fostering artistic innovation - championing filmmakers who forge their own paths and create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium, in the same pioneering spirit that defined Joyce's literary legacy.Check out the programme & get tickets at www.bloomsdayfestival.ie.Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M.

This week on The Literary Life we begin revisiting a series from our "Summer of the Short Story" that originally aired way back in Season 1 of the podcast! Today we return to Episode 11, in which Angelina and Cindy enjoyed a discussion of the short story "Araby" by James Joyce. Delving into "Araby," Angelina talks about the history and development of the short story form. Cindy gives a little of her own background with reading James Joyce and why she loves his short stories. Angelina and Cindy also discuss the essential "Irishness" of this story and all the tales in The Dubliners. Angelina walks us through the story, highlighting the kinds of questions and things we should look for when reading closely. Themes discussed in this story include: blindness and sight, light and darkness, romanticism, religious devotion, the search for truth, money, courtly love, and the knight's quest. If you want to find replays of the 2019 Back to School online conference referenced in this episode, you can purchase them in Cindy's shop at MorningTimeforMoms.com.

Hörerfrage des Monats: Ist Irland überhaupt noch typisch irisch?Irland hat sich in den letzten 30 Jahren stark verändert.

Doch was bedeutet das für die irische Identität?In dieser Hörerfrage des Monats sprechen wir über Einwanderung, kulturellen Wandel und darüber, ob Irland heute noch als „typisch irisch“ bezeichnet werden kann.Vielen Dank an Stefan für die Frage!Fragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge?

Animator Chris Dicker shares his insights into how he turned his love of drawing and story telling into an award winning career.

Warum Deutsche Irland romantisierenGrüne Landschaften, gemütliche Pubs, traditionelle Musik und freundliche Menschen – für viele Deutsche ist Irland weit mehr als nur ein Urlaubsland. Die grüne Insel gilt oft als Sehnsuchtsort und Gegenmodell zum hektischen Alltag in Mitteleuropa.Doch warum eigentlich?In dieser Episode von A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland gehe ich der Frage nach, warum Irland in Deutschland häufig romantisiert wird und welche Faktoren dieses Bild geprägt haben.Wir sprechen unter anderem über:Die Rolle von Filmen, Büchern und Medien bei der Wahrnehmung IrlandsUrlaubserlebnisse entlang des Wild Atlantic Way und anderer spektakulärer LandschaftenDie besondere Faszination der irischen Pub- und MusikkulturDie Wahrnehmung der irischen Mentalität, Offenheit und HerzlichkeitWarum Irland für viele Menschen als entspannter Gegenentwurf zum Alltag in Deutschland erscheintDie Vorstellung eines einfacheren und entschleunigten Lebens auf der grünen InselAußerdem teile ich meine persönlichen Erfahrungen aus mittlerweile acht Jahren in Irland und beleuchte, welche dieser Vorstellungen sich bestätigt haben – und wo die Realität deutlich differenzierter aussieht.Denn auch Irland kennt steigende Lebenshaltungskosten, Wohnungsprobleme, Leistungsdruck im Berufsleben und lange, dunkle Wintermonate.Am Ende bleibt die Frage:Wie viel Romantik steckt im Irlandbild vieler Deutscher – und wie viel Realität?Fragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge?Mehr vom Podcast & UpdatesInstagram, Facebook & Pinterest

Dublin City Council has today launched the results of a new report examining ways to unlock investment for housing through adaptive re-use. The report responds to a central policy challenge: how to finance urgently needed housing while meeting statutory climate targets, in a context where the built environment is a major source of emissions and existing delivery models are not achieving outcomes at the required scale or pace. Adaptive re-use for housing FACE Dublin was delivered by the Centre for Public Impact (CPI) and the TransCap Initiative through a strategic research partnership commissioned by Dublin City Council and supported by the Dublin Metropolitan Climate Action Regional Office (CARO). FACE Dublin builds on work undertaken by the council over the last few years to embed circular economy and whole life carbon principles into our work. A key challenge we face as local government is investment to meet our ambition. FACE Dublin has interrogated the system that shapes the capacity of local government to deliver on housing and climate targets in a manner that is just and efficient. The recommendations emerging from FACE Dublin to enable acceleration are: Near term: Establish clear ownership for delivery and secure more flexible public funding Medium term: Work with national government to unlock scale and crowd in private and philanthropic capital Longer term: Explore new financing mechanisms to transform how adaptive reuse is funded Our built environment tells the story of the city, and we are part of its living history. Investment in regeneration is an investment in the social and cultural life of our city. The Lord Mayor of Dublin Ray McAdam said, "Addressing dereliction through regeneration is one of the most important priorities for Dublin City Council. If we are serious about meeting our housing and climate ambitions, we must unlock the potential of vacant and underused buildings across our city. FACE Dublin is a timely and welcome initiative because Dubliners want their city to be vibrant, lived in, cared for and full of possibility. My mayoral theme is Celebrating Dublin, and part of that means celebrating the buildings, streets and neighbourhoods that tell the story of who we are. We are proud of Dublin. We are proud of its past, ambitious for its present and determined about its future. By working together, we can breathe new life into buildings that hold the memories of previous generations and transform them into places of opportunity for generations yet to come." Richard Shakespeare, Chief Executive, Dublin City Council said, "The recommendations that have emerged from FACE Dublin, offer a credible route for local government in Ireland to lead on circular, low?carbon urban regeneration – demonstrating how housing delivery, climate action and place?making can reinforce one another when approached systemically." Dennis Keeley, Assistant Chief Executive, Dublin City Council said, "FACE Dublin brings a fresh and necessary perspective to rethinking how we address the dual housing and climate challenges we face as a city and a country. Applying systems innovation and systemic finance lens to understand how policies, planning, funding flows, organisational structures and incentives interact – and how they can be reshaped to unlock progress and catalyse implementation, FACE Dublin has provided a clear practical and phased approach to help make Dublin a leader in tackling vacancy and dereliction, maximising return on public and private investment to enhance Dublin's resilience as a liveable city." Gabrielle Beran, Programme Director, Centre for Public Impact said, "FACE Dublin demonstrates what is possible when a city tackles complex challenges with fresh thinking and genuine collaboration. Through engagement with more than 90 stakeholders, this work has shown the strength of Dublin's commitment to delivering housing while meeting climate goals. At the Centre for Public Impact, we work with governments around the w...

reland News Digest – Mai 2026In dieser Episode von A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland werfen wir erneut einen Blick auf drei aktuelle Nachrichten aus Irland – von möglichen neuen Bahnverbindungen über einen tragischen Vorfall im Dubliner Stadtzentrum bis hin zum Besuch von König Charles in Nordirland.Ein kurzer Überblick darüber, was sich derzeit auf der grünen Insel tut. Themen der Episode Neue Hoffnung für die Bahnstrecke Dublin–NavanDie seit 1963 stillgelegte Bahnstrecke zwischen Dublin und Navan im County Meath soll wiedereröffnet werden.Nachdem der erste Abschnitt bis zum M3 Parkway bereits seit rund 15 Jahren wieder in Betrieb ist, scheint nun auch der weitere Ausbau Richtung Navan konkreter zu werden.Für tausende Pendler könnte damit die Zeit der größten Stadt Irlands ohne Bahnanschluss bald enden. Tragischer Vorfall auf der Henry Street in DublinEin 35-jähriger Mann aus dem Kongo starb nach einem Zwischenfall nahe des Kaufhauses Arnotts im Dubliner Stadtzentrum.Der Vorfall, bei dem laut Berichten zuvor auch ein älterer Mann verletzt wurde, führte landesweit zu Diskussionen über Sicherheit, Gewaltanwendung und gesellschaftliche Spannungen in Irland.Videos des Geschehens verbreiteten sich schnell in sozialen Medien und lösten Proteste und öffentliche Debatten aus. König Charles zu Besuch in NordirlandKönig Charles und Königin Camilla besuchten diese Woche Nordirland – ein Besuch mit großer symbolischer Bedeutung.Noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten wären öffentliche Auftritte eines britischen Monarchen in republikanischen Teilen Nordirlands kaum denkbar gewesen.Der Besuch zeigt, wie sehr sich die Beziehungen zwischen Irland und Großbritannien seit dem Karfreitagsabkommen verändert haben. Quellen & weiterführende Linkshttps://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/plans-for-new-navan-railway-publishedhttps://www.reuters.com/world/hundreds-protest-dublin-over-death-congolese-born-man-restrained-outside-store-2026-05-21/https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2026/0519/1574152-belfast-charles-camilla/ Mehr vom Podcast & UpdatesInstagram, Facebook & Pinterest a_bavarian_stranded_in_ireland WhatsApp Channelhttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1V Kontaktabavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.com

We celebrate the legacy of The Dubliners with John Sheahan's daughter, Ceoladh and the late Luke Kelly's niece, Paula.

Irland verändert sich gerade massiv.Innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte geht das Land von Torf, Kohle und Öl hin zu Windparks, Offshore-Projekten, Solarenergie und energiehungrigen Data Centres von Google, Amazon & Co.In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber:- warum Energie in Irland so ein emotionales Thema ist,- weshalb Turf für viele Menschen weit mehr als nur Brennstoff war,- wie der Celtic Tiger Irlands Energiebedarf explodieren ließ,- warum Strom in Irland oft extrem teuer ist,- weshalb Windenergie gleichzeitig Hoffnung und Streitpunkt ist,- und warum manche Politiker glauben, dass Irland langfristig Europas „grüne Batterie“ werden könnte.Außerdem geht es um:⚡ Offshore-Wind  ⚡ Data Centres & Housing Crisis  ⚡ Gasimporte über Großbritannien  ⚡ kalte irische Wohnungen  ⚡ typisch irische Infrastrukturprobleme  ⚡ und den ewigen Konflikt zwischen modernem Tech-Irland und ländlicher Tradition.Wie immer geht es dabei nicht nur um Fakten, sondern auch um das Lebensgefühl in Irland – zwischen Innovation, Improvisation und „Ah sure look“.———

When Dubliners first saw the multi-tiered, gleaming white, iron and glass shopping centre on St Stephen's Green in the late 1980s, it was quickly nicknamed “the Mississippi showboat” and “the wedding cake”. And in a city that prides itself on its Georgian heritage and its historic buildings, it was seen by some as kitsch, an architectural pastiche and a bit embarrassing. But it grew on others. Now that plans have been approved by Dublin City Council to knock the shopping centre and replace it with a new scheme, a campaign has begun to save the centre.So what is planned to replace it? Why are objectors so against it? And why do so many people have a new appreciation for this “historic” building?Dublin editor Olivia Kelly isn't one to sit on the fence when it comes to how the city is shaping up and she explains her reservations about the plans.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Kate Nash is one of the most interesting artists working in British and Irish music right now.   You might know her from 'Foundations', the debut single that went to number one in the UK in 2007, or maybe winning a BRIT Award for Best Female Artist in 2008 or the excellent Netflix TV show GLOW on Netflix about female wrestlers.  But the Kate Nash of the last few years is an advocate for artists who kicks against the pricks of the music industry and the world at large.  In the last couple of years alone she has given testimony before a UK parliamentary select committee about the economics of touring, losing £26,000 on a European tour leg and covering those losses by selling photos of her arse on OnlyFans. She's travelled around London on a fire engine visiting the offices of Live Nation and Spotify as part of her Butts for Tour Buses campaign. She is a patron of the Music Venue Trust speaking up for grassroots venues. She's been one of the founding members of the Featured Artists Coalition since 2009.  She played the Trans Mission show at Wembley. She's been to Leinster House. She also released trans ally anthem 'GERM'. Nash  grew up in North Harrow going to Irish dancing at weekends, listening to Christy Moore and the Dubliners at home, spending summers in Ireland. Last month, Nialler9 debuted her cover of Sinead O'Connor's Famine - a song that serves as an introduction to her dual Irish English heritage. So there is a lot to talk to Kate Nash about.

For a man who has been targeted by assassins, Gerry Hutch is surprisingly easy to track down in the village in Lanzarote where he has lived for more than 10 years.He hikes in the morning, frequents the island's many Irish bars – Paddy's Point is a favourite – and is happy to stop for selfies with the Irish holidaymakers attracted by the island's winter sun.Irish Times investigative reporter Conor Gallagher travelled to the Spanish island last week to interview the veteran criminal as part of a wider investigation into the Dubliner's property holdings.Hutch has long maintained that his lifestyle is funded by savvy property investments although in a wide-ranging interview he tells Gallagher they have been “exaggerated”.From his sunny base he talks of his political ambitions for the May 22nd Dublin Central byelection, his reaction to his son's recent arrest in Lanzarote and the ongoing criminal investigation by the Spanish authorities into his own activities.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

That Love Podcast presents: HELL NAH TO EASTER — Episode 4: "François, Fiancées, and Absolute Chaos" An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: A French ex with a beret, a secret, and the worst timing in Europe crashes our narrator's almost-romance with Gerald — sending her on a wild mission involving a struggling actress, a flooded farm, and one very shocked Catholic family. Episode Summary: François is not our narrator's boyfriend — he was, briefly, in a whirlwind that involved his parents' kitchen table, a traumatised teenage sister, and a hush-money car purchase — but that was then. Now he's back, dramatically, with flowers, and Gerald is watching the whole thing unfold with quiet devastation. As Gerald slips away with a coffee shop invitation and a clock ticking, our narrator untangles the real reason François has flown to Ireland: he needs her help escaping an arranged reunion with a porcelain doll enthusiast. His plan is wild. Her counter-plan is wilder. Enter Marny McFly — actress, farmer's daughter, and the woman who might just save everyone. But it's the secret François finally shares that changes everything.

Kevin Byrne caught up with Ryan O'Rourke before his fight against Alex Vargas on April 17th was announced.O'Rourke is not easily dissuaded. At 26 years old and 13-0, with a promotional deal in the US with Star Boxing, the Dubliner's trajectory looks envious from the outside. But behind the record lies the exhausting reality of the professional game.In 2025 alone, Ryan saw four fights collapse. Inactivity? Check. Last-minute cancellations? Check. Opponents vanishing after the money and miles have already been spent? Check. Most people would have packed it in for a more reliable weekly wage, but Ryan is fueled by an inner drive that goes beyond the paycheck.Following the loss of his close friend John Cooney, Ryan is fighting for a legacy that transcends the sport's "BS." In this episode, we discuss his upbringing in Dublin, avoiding the capital's teenage pitfalls, and the decision to choose the ring over the football pitch. We also dive into the unique dynamic of being trained by his father, Steven, and his desire to ignite a massive domestic rivalry with Pierce O'Leary—a Northside vs. Southside "mill-up" with the potential to echo the legendary Gus Farrell v Ske Mullen battles of the 60s.

Hell Nah To Easter — Episode 3: The Fake Boyfriend, The Real Feelings An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: Gerald is back, he's gorgeous, and he's asking all the right questions — which is exactly why our narrator invents a fictional boyfriend with cheese-grating abs and immediately regrets every single word. Episode Summary: With Shane and her mother conveniently absent, our narrator and Gerald sit down for what should be a simple cup of tea — and instead stumble into one of the most emotionally loaded conversations of their lives. Gerald reveals the heartbreaking reason he disappeared two years ago, and our narrator, terrified of her own feelings, does what she does best: she panics and lies. She tells him she's seeing someone named David — twenty-three, spectacular abs, total fantasy. Gerald's face falls. But when he starts heading for the door, she cracks — and Gerald reveals he already knew she was lying. The chemistry is undeniable, the honesty is terrifying, and just as things finally start to feel real, someone knocks at the door.

Hell Nah To Easter — Episode 2: "News About Gerald" An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast.

What follows is a frantic race home that includes one terrorised Ryanair flight attendant, a cab driver with the worst timing in Ireland, and a living room that looks like the set of a UFC fight.

HELL NAH TO EASTER — Episode 1: The Backstory Nobody Asked For An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: A sharp-tongued only child with a deadbeat NBA father, a born-again Irish mother, and a lifelong habit of fleeing the country every Easter finally meets the man who might make her stop running — but first, she has to survive dinner. Episode Summary: Hell Nah to Easter opens with Bur Kell, a woman who has perfected the art of disappearing to Paris every Easter with a fake beret and a real wine habit. Raised between two worlds — an Irish village with twelve people and forty-seven sheep, and the shadow of a famous, absent father — Bur's life has never been short on chaos. When her mother marries Shane, a gentle giant of a farmer with a complicated relationship with rival football fans, Bur finds herself pulled reluctantly into Sunday Mass, small-town life, and something unexpected: a blind date on Easter Sunday. The man's name is Gerald. He's a carpenter. He's charming. And by the end of the night, Bur is dangerously close to feeling something real — right before he vanishes without a trace.

Week 44 takes us firmly into the 20th century, with a strong Irish lineup: James Joyce's “The Dead" from The Dubliners, the opening of Ulysses, and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.Joyce surprised me—in the very best way. “The Dead” is rich, intimate, and beautifully written, capturing married love, memory, and Dublin itself as if the city were another character. The opening of Ulysses was stranger and more dreamlike, but not impenetrable; I'm no longer afraid of it, even if I'm not sure the whole novel is in my future.Beckett, on the other hand, infuriated me. Waiting for Godot struck me as deliberately empty, a meditation on meaninglessness that simply wasn't for me, even while I understand its cultural impact.This week underscored how much I've grown as a reader: more patient, more persistent, and open to genres I never imagined loving. Eight weeks to go—and I'm grateful for every page.Oh, and the answer to that question? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out.The beautiful videos can be found in my substack post!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm
