A bonus episode before Season 2 begins. This episode doesn't revisit an Irish album, but instead details an incredible Irish music story. Fail We May, Sail We Must – the story of how a chance meeting in 2008 between Andrew Weatherall, the world-renowned DJ, producer and remixer, and Gerard Sheehy, a Co. Cork fisherman inspired Weatherall to use the phrase “Fail We May, Sail We Must” as a personal mantra and get it tattooed on his arms. The documentary tells how the phrase, in turn has become an inspiration for thousands of others. It details how in 2021, on the first anniversary of Weatherall's death, Sheehy was identified as the source of the phrase and tells how the two disparate worlds of the music and fishing industries collided. First broadcast on UCC98.3FM, 17 February 2022 with sound supervision by Kieran Hurley. Recently this documentary was broadcast on Australian radio and at the end of the episode you'll also hear me chatting to the Australian broadcaster Axel Moline all about this production.

Cúirt an Mheán-Oíche, The Midnight Court - Sex, scandal, and subsequent censorship fresh from 1780's Ireland. A dramatic rendition of Brian Merriman's epic poem translated by Yam Cashen The Midnight Court presents an epic battle of the sexes where a poet is summoned to the Fairy Court. One young woman bemoans the sexual impotence and unavailability of Irish men while an old man condemns the promiscuity of young women. The heated debate spans a satirical look at sexuality, illegitimate children, priestly celibacy, travellers and prostitution from a time when the penal laws were still in full force. First written by poet Brian Merriman around 1780, Cúirt an Mheán-Oíche is renowned as a comic masterpiece of the Irish literary canon. Having survived censorship in its original form, its later English language translation suffered an outright ban until little more than fifty years ago for its frank and pornographic language. Yam Cashen's translation of the Midnight Court gives an excellent, if explicit picture of rural Irish society. Featuring the voices of: Bob Kelly, Éadaoin O' Donoghue, Chris Schmidt-Martin, Cora Fenton and Seán T. Ó Meallaigh. Directed by Hilary Bowen-Walsh. Produced by Kieran Hurley and sound design by Kieran Hurley

The dedication of these men kept Cork rail moving during the 50s and beyond. Featuring the voices of Frank Kennedy, Andrew McCarthy, Denis Allen, Charlie Cogan, Michael Stevens, Gerry O'Connor, Derry Healy, Dr Colin Rynne of UCC. Produced by Kieran Hurley for UCC 98.3FM

Kieran Hurley calls in this week to discuss his first film, 'Beats', which was released to a good deal of acclaim in 2019. It's a fun and often hilarious story of two teenagers in Scotland in the mid-nineties figuring out who they are and what they want to be, all set to the backdrop of the then-popular rave subculture. Learn how Kieran adapted his original stage performance into a screenplay with director Brian Welsh, and listen to his thoughts on regional representation in British cinema, his personal approach to writing and what he learnt over the course of the journey from stage to screen. You can purchase and enjoy the original version of Beats from Oberon Modern plays. *** Want to comment, get news and join episode discussions?

Scottish playwright Kieran Hurley has built a career telling stories about himself and those around him, but his play Mouthpiece, now at Queensland Theatre, questions the ethics of putting these stories on stage and calling it 'art'. Also, we hear how a run-in with police inspired a new radio play featuring Osamah Sami and Rowan Freeman and Erin Brannigan guides us through more basics of dance literacy as we watch work by Ros Warby and Vicki Van Hout.

Director and writer Gary Sinyor joins John Wilson to discuss his new sitcom The Jewish Enquirer. This follows hapless journalist Paul, played by Tim Downie, in search of scoops for Britain’s “fourth most-read Jewish newspaper”. Sinyor reveals how his own Jewish heritage inspired this irreverent depiction of a Jewish family and how everything and everyone from circumcision to Philip Green is ripe for satire. Most people working in the arts are freelance and so may lose their livelihoods when shows close and projects are curtailed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this week the Arts Council announced that it will change some of its funding programmes to help compensate individual artists and freelancers for lost earnings. Laura Dyer, the Deputy Chief Executive of Arts Council England, explains what is planned and how this will work. Theatre Uncut has created an online film, which stars actors from different Universities across Europe who have filmed themselves on their phones. Their performances were then edited together.

With actors working in isolation, edited elsewhere and viewed on phones and laptops, this is a film for our troubled times. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Simon Richardson

Hello! I'm back! Sorry about the wait for a new episode. I'm in Scotland, so let's talk to a Scot.  Kieran Hurley is a playwright and poet based in Glasgow. His work touches on the human stories involved in political events and he was a vocal supporter of the "YES" campaign in last year's referendum on Scottish independence. Together Kieran and I talked about the UK government banning rave music in the 90s, the London riots, May's general election and what it means for British politics, Jeremy Corbyn, austerity, "Torycore", nationalism and why he's occasionally happy to be considered a "traitor".
