“We know what we want, and one day, our prince will come,” says Toby, the bicycle-shorts-wearing, double ententre-making, unacknowledgely-gay neighbor in RTE's Upwardly Mobile. Though the first queer characters in Irish entertainment television were tropes and stereotypes, they represented an important shift in LGBTQ visibility in Irish media. The road to early representations in entertainment media was a hard road paved by gay rights activists, AIDS stigma, and production teams looking for sensationalism. In LGBTQ Visibility, Media, and Sexuality in Ireland, Páraic Kerrigan explores the dynamics of queer visibility and sexuality in Ireland through televised media between 1974 and 2008. Tune in for our chat about Gay Byrne and the Late Late Show, queer soap stars, the AIDS crisis and globalization of Ireland, and the LGBTQ rights tug-of-war that played out in turn-of-the-century television.

Eamon Carr has had the most fascinating life –poet, playwright, sports journalist, copywriter in an ad agency, entertainment journalist. Oh.. and he was also a founding member of one of Ireland most unique and iconic bands, The Horslips! (the band responsible for that amazing guitar sample in ‘put em under pressure' from Italia 90). Eamon takes me right back to the start of Horslips and into their heyday, and we also talk about life on the road as a musician and the toll that rock n roll living can take. Eamon also talks about some of the most interesting people that he has interviewed over his long career as a journalist.This is the topic of his latest book, Pure Gold, full of brilliant stories about his interviews with greats including Shane MacGowan, Jack Charlton, Gay Byrne, Sinead O'Connor, and many more.COMEDY – its all about the Presidential race at the moment and we're hearing lots from the candidates. But what about Michael D, what's going on with him behind the closed doors of the Aras??Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

Birr is building its future—Barry Kennedy shares how the Birr 20:20 Vision is reigniting its Business Pillar and aligning with tourism to bring bold ideas to life. Aubrey Nuzum of Portlaoise-based Aubren reveals how their award-winning tech is cutting energy use and making waves globally.

The Housewife of the Year competition ran for almost three decades, from 1969 to 1995. Thousands of women from all around Ireland entered, hoping to win a cash prize along with some home appliances, such as a luxury gas cooker. In later years, the competition was broadcast on RTÉ, featuring footage of contestants taking part in domestic duties at home, followed by a glitzy finale where the finalists were interviewed by Gay Byrne. Last month, the Housewife of the Year documentary was released in Irish cinemas. In the film, former contestants share their (mostly positive) experiences of taking part in the contest and speak about what Irish society was like for women during that time. In this episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by two former winners, Ena Howell (1992) and Margaret Carmody (1978). The pair share their own personal stories and reflect on what it was like to take part and eventually win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I have heard some fascinating life stories in my time, but Terry Prone's is up there with one of the best. Terry is a writer, an actor, a journalist, a broadcaster, an advisor to successive governments, a communications expert, a PR pioneer, the list goes on and on - and after already writing 30 books, she has finally written the one that tells her own life story.Its called Caution to the Wind: A Memoir - and it is simply a fascinating read. Terry talks as well as she writes and in our chat she shares some brilliant stories about the love of her life, the late Tom Savage, who was a priest when they first met; her close working relationship with Gay Byrne, coaching politicians, the secret to powerful communications, and lots more.COMEDY – The Mario Rosenstock Podcast hotline has been busy this week, we've got messages from Leo V, Brian O'Driscoll, and the government's money men, Paschal and Michael. Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

It's never easy to pick easy to pick highlights from the series because there genuinely is far too much to choose from. So I've tried to find a few clips that represent the wide range of guests, topics, and laughs that we tend to have on this show every week. So what's coming up? Jarlath Regan of the brilliant ‘Irishman Abroad' podcast will be talking about why he took up running during Covid, how beneficial it has been for his mental health, and teaming up with Sonia O'Sullivan to make a whole podcast series dedicated to running! Newstalk's Ciara Kelly will talk about some of the obstacles that she faced being a woman trying to carve out a career as a broadcaster. And we also talk about the perilous nature of expressing opinions these days. MEP Maria Walsh talks about coming out publicly right after winning the rose of Tralee and the journey she went on afterwards. And Keith Duffy talks about the very early days of Boyzone, why he has an issue with Irish audiences, and that infamous Late Late show appearance when Gay Byrne was a little bit rude to them, to put it mildly. I hope you enjoy the show Mario Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

Show me the (taxpayers) money...What does the RTÉ scandal tell us about Ireland? Joe and Dion explain why this was always about more than Ryan Tubridy's salary. The Late Late Show's decline from the glory days of Gay Byrne shows how RTÉ has been captured and why it can't be a public service broadcaster and an advertising agency at the same time.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/To get in touch with the podcast: info@freestatepodcast.comTwitter: @dionfanning @JoeBrolly1993 @freestateirl Hosted on Acast.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Dé Máirt, fuair giúire i Nua-Eabhrac go ndearna iar-uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump mí-úsáid ghnéis ar an iriseoir E Jean Carroll seacht mbliana is fiche ó shin. Os rud é gur cás sibhialta a bhí ann, gearradh píonós $5m ar Trump ach ní sheolfar go príosún é. Dúirt Carroll go raibh náire uirthi agus gur chaill sí a post mar gheall ar an éigniú agus gur spreag an feachtas #metoo í chun a scéal a insint. Bhí Trump i láthair ag imeacht de chuid CNN oíche Dé Céadaoin, inar mhaígh sé gurb iad cúrsaí polaitíochta ba chúis leis an triail, agus gur goideadh vótaí sa toghchán uachtaránachta in 2020. In ainneoin na bhfadhbanna dlí atá Trump, meastar go bhfuil a lán leantóirí aige i measc na vótálaithe, agus go bhfuil seans ann go mbainfidh sé an chéad toghchán eile in 2024. Tá eolaithe atá ag obair san Elvéis agus san Artach i ndiaidh teacht ar mhiocróib atá ábalta plaistic a dhíleá ag teocht íseal. Táthar eolach ar neart miocrób a bhriseann plaistic anuas ag teocht os ceann 30 céim cheana féin, ach baineann costas ard agus truailliú leis an chleachtas sin mar gheall ar an teas a bheadh de dhíth. Fuarthas roinnt baictéar agus fungas a dhíleánn plaistic ag 15 chéim celsius. Tá plaistic ar cheann de na truailleáin is coitianta ar domhan, agus deirtear go bhfuil plaistic le fáil sa bhia a itheann muid, san uisce a ólann muid agus mar sin inár gcorp féin. Is cosúil gurb é láithreoir teilifíse agus fear grinn Patrick Kielty rogha na coitiantachta don ról an láithreora ar The Late Late Show, an clár teilifíse is cáiliúla de chuid RTÉ. Tá Ryan Tubridy, a thosaigh ar an seó i 2009, chun éirí as ag deireadh na míosa seo, agus tá daoine mór le rá ar nós Claire Byrne agus Miriam O'Callaghan tar éis rá go poiblí nach nglacfaidh siadsan leis an phost. Cuireadh tús leis an chlár cainte sa bhliain 1962, agus bhí Gay Byrne ina óstach ón am sin go dtí 1999. Chaith Pat Kenny deich mbliana sa ról sular tháinig Tubridy isteach. Is as an Dún ó dhúchas do Kielty, agus maraíodh a athair le linn na dTrioblóidí sna Sé Chontae, agus meastar go mbeadh sé in ann dul i ngleic le topaicí tromchúiseacha chomh maith le hábhair éadroma. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain. Tá an script ar fáil i d'aip phodchraolta. * GLUAIS mí-úsáid ghnéis - sexual abuse éigniú - rape díleá - digest truailleán - pollutant rogha na coitiantachta - front runner topaicí tromchúiseacha - serious topics

EPISODE 82 | Reptiles of the Mind - The Reptilian Conspiracy (Big 'Uns 7) The conspirasphere thrives on the idea that things are not what they seem to be on the surface. And for some, the very people around us are not what they seem. Why, they might not even be human, at all. Some of the supposed “people” you see are actually shapeshifting aliens, possibly from somewhere in Orion, maybe from inside the hollow earth. In their true form, they are humanoid reptiles, and they thrive on pain and suffering. These loathsome creatures are either part of an ongoing, yet secret, struggle for control of our world, or they have already taken control of the reins and are farming us for their own purposes. You can see proof of this in some video footage where famous people's eyes temporarily look like a lizard's before snapping back to normal. Yes, as we begin the fourth year of Conspiracy Clearinghouse, we will finally take a look at the Reptilian conspiracy theory, which was actually the inspiration for starting this podcast in the first place, but it was just too big and too weird to tackle back in 2020. You could argue that the previous 81 episodes have been preparing us for this one. This is our third anniversary episode!  Like what we do?

Alas listeners - the end is here. This is the final episode of Around The World in 80 Gays for now and maybe forever. Regardless, we've had the pleasure of spending time with some great Irish LGBTQ+ icons and we feel so lucky that we now have this unique audio captured. For this last episode, we pushed the boat out and decided to invite multiple guests on to the podcast. Bertie Ahern dropped in, as did Miriam O'Callaghan, Senator David Norris and the late Gay Byrne even managed to contact us from beyond the beyonds too. Other star turns include Graham Norton, An Taoiseach Leo Vradkar and oh yes - Mario Rosenstock. In this episode Mario talked about his special relationship with his grandmother, his love of George Michael, taking risks and Roy Keane. Thanks to you all for listening and spending time travelling around the world - in 80 gays (+ Marion Rosenstock) with us. Love, Brian and Katherine.

Yesterday, the Road Safety Authority at its annual awards ceremony to promote road safety, awarded Radio Kerry journalist Mark Lynch with the first Gay Byrne Media Award. Gay was a former chairman of the RSA. Mark won the award for his interview last March with Andrea Browne whose sister Kerrie died in a crash in 2019. Kerrie had fallen asleep while driving home after working nights at University Hospital Kerry. On this morning’s Kerry Today, we replayed Mark and Andrea’s interview.

Rossa fell on the ice in Blackrock and was helped by a van driver. Sam was the victim of road rage while following his mother's hearse. Callers ring in about whether or not snobbery still exists in the way it used to. Michael wants to hear the Gay Byrne Christmas Cake skit and Mags notices a mistake in the new RTE Guide.

30 years ago this week, Singer Sinead O'Connor sparked outrage when she tore up a picture of the Pope during her musical performance on Saturday Night Live.The fallout of that action is at the centre of Kathryn Ferguson's new documentary about Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares - which is in cinemas this Friday.Following the release of last year's Rememberings, O'Connor's biography, the film tells the story of Sinead's upbringing, subsequent success focusing on the early period of her career and the vindication of her actions at the time. Sinead O'Connor was ahead of her time.The documentary celebrates a maverick artist, who never compromised her personal integrity or artistry, who was often ridiculed, and deemed the mad Irish women who shaved her head, who spoke up for minorities, criticised the church for child abuse coverups, Magdalene laundries (which she had direct experience of), and Ireland's fight for abortion rights.These causes and beliefs are now mainstream but at the time, O'Connor was openly mocked for pointing out the abuses of power (especially in America, where she refused to allow the National Anthem to play before her concert) further fuelling an anti-patriotism sentiment around the Irish artist, that fundamentally altered her pop career, one that she never wanted anyway.“I'm not a pop star. I'm just a troubled soul who needs to scream into mikes now and then.”Sinead O'Connor was a protest singer, first and foremost. Joining Niall and Andrea to discuss the Sinead O'Connor film is pop critic Louise Bruton. We discuss her relationship with Gay Byrne, the parallels to Britney and MIA, that Bob Dylan tribute concert, and the aforementioned themes from the film. Hosted on Acast.

The most memorable scandals in Irish life feature a fulminating bishop and this is no exception. This brief controversy is infamous but why do we find it so compelling? Dr Morgan Wait joins me to talk about television and titillation in 1960s Ireland. Anything that doesn't feature Gay Byrne is going to get considerably less attention. Morgan Wait When people recognise themselves, or suspect they recognise themselves, they get cross and ask for changes. Aoife Bhreatnach One of the biggest letter writing incidents was around ‘Home Truths' and it had nothing to do with censorship.

“We know what we want, and one day, our prince will come,” says Toby, the bicycle-shorts-wearing, double ententre-making, unacknowledgely-gay neighbor in RTE's Upwardly Mobile. Though the first queer characters in Irish entertainment television were tropes and stereotypes, they represented an important shift in LGBTQ visibility in Irish media. The road to early representations in entertainment media was a hard road paved by gay rights activists, AIDS stigma, and production teams looking for sensationalism.

“We know what we want, and one day, our prince will come,” says Toby, the bicycle-shorts-wearing, double ententre-making, unacknowledgely-gay neighbor in RTE's Upwardly Mobile. Though the first queer characters in Irish entertainment television were tropes and stereotypes, they represented an important shift in LGBTQ visibility in Irish media.

In early 1997 Gay Byrne, Ireland's finest and most famous broadcaster interviewed me about my latest book, Troubadours and Troublemakers, an anthology of my interviews with the likes of Richard Harris, Bono, Edna O'Brien and Gerry Adams. However what Gay, who was fascinated by any tale involving adopted children, really wanted to talk about was my father Joe Jackson senior, who had not only been adopted but also sent to remand school - where we now know he was sexually abused by Christian Brothers though I wasn't aware of this at the time - for stealing a few slices of bacon. This is the first of a two-podcast series and in the second Gay interviews myself and Miriam Dunne, my father's sister who I met for the first time thanks to the interview in this podcast.

In 1996 my now-legendary interview with Eamon Dunphy - also the subject of the earlier podcast Eamon Dunphy Unleashed - created a media stir, particularly in the tabloids, as a result of "Eamo" putting in what The Star called 'Dunphy's Firing line' the likes of Gay Byrne, Gerry Ryan, Pat Kenny, Brenda Donohue, Cynthia Ni Murchu and so on. However, listening back to this part of the eleven-hour interview, it is obvious that Dunphy also was levelling some valid criticisms of the ideology behind broadcasting in RTE at the time. Doe his criticisms still stand? You decided. The print version of the interviews - not uncensored as happened when they were published in an Irish magazine - are now available in my new eBook Conversations with a Loudmouth: The Eamon Dunphy Tapes. It is available from Amazon and soon will be elsewhere. This was ED at his peak. 

Firstly BIG SHOUT OUT AND MASSIVE RESPECT to our doctors, nurses and everyone in the emergency services in Ireland. You're a credit to our country. #STAYSAFE #STAYINDOORS ** Billy mentions his standup shows in Galway in April these have obviously been cancelled until further notice.  On this episode (98) of FNI Wrapchat is Director and Producer Billy McGrath. Billy was a major pioneering figure in the development of Irish music (manager, promoter and PR) and comedy (performer, writer and promoter) before training with RTÉ as a TV producer / director in the mid 1980s. Both passions were to the fore as new ideas and talent were brought to RTÉ screens before Billy moved to London as features director on the BAFTA award-winning Channel 4 music series WIRED (Initial TV London ‘88). His documentary films, Most Recently 'Citizens of Boomtown' on the Boomtown Rats,  U2, The Pogues and Clannad were screened at festivals in Dublin, London, Washington, Brazil and on TV throughout the world. In the 1990s Billy again immersed himself in script and comedy. Working between London, Belfast and Dublin, Billy also kick started an Irish comedy circuit, won a European Script Award, The National Entertainment Award for Comedy, was the first course designer and trainer with Irish Screen Training (Writing Comedy for TV) plus gained project development and management experience with major production companies and broadcasters in Ireland and the UK. Returning from London in 1998, Billy wrote and produced the history of Irish TV comedy – Gay Byrne's Make ‘Em Laugh – for Tyrone Productions/RTE (top 10 viewed programme of the year), joined Ireland's first commercial broadcaster TV3 as Executive Producer and soon after was appointed RTE's first Commissioning Editor of Entertainment (2000-02) before re-joining the commercial world. Billy's first independent commission Close Encounters with Keith Barry (a talent spotted while at RTE) was nominated for both an IFTA and Rose D'Or Award plus remains RTE International's biggest ever success in the international TV Entertainment sales market. In late 2005 SIDELINE was established with Billy responsible for all development, editorial content and ensuring a top-class production on screen, developing new ideas and emerging talent. Citizens of Boomtown is now available on the RTE player.  The extraordinary story of Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats is told in this all-access 2 part series with special guests Bono, Sinead O'Connor, Sting and a host of others. https://www.rte.ie/player/series/citizens-of-boomtown/SI0000006786 #WeAreFni Learn more about your ad choices.
