POPULARITY
A look ahead to next week where MPs will vote on parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol. What would a win look like for the government? The vote has been conveniently placed on the same day Boris Johnson is already in parliament for the privileges committee hearing. The lone rebel of the protocol will have to put his money where his mouth is – which way will he vote? Natasha Feroze speaks to Fraser Nelson and Katy Balls.
Two-thirds of Northern Ireland back the Windsor Framework, according to the latest Belfast Telegraph / Lucid Talk polling. However, the same poll reveals that an overwhelming 73% of DUP supporters say ‘No' to the deal. The Framework doesn't deal with some “fundamental problems” created by the NI Protocol, according to DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson but Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says it's the “best deal available”. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Bill White from Lucid Talk as well as commentator Alex Kane. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In a week where: R Kelly & Harvey Weinstein rack up more prison time. James Bond books are being rewritten in sensitivity measures. UK & EU finally agree on a NI Protocol deal. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake happens off coast of Papua New Guinea. Over 20 people die in Greece after two trains collide head on. In Media: (12:20) Awards culture is rife in nearly all walks of life. But when you think about it, it's a lot of effort and money to give an award to adults. Are they really worth it?In Music: (27:59) In Hip-Hop culture, the sample diggers are the obsessive minority that spend their days trying to discern samples. But now that they have AI on their side; it's never been so good for a sample digger.In the first of two Life segments: (38:00) Within Black British culture, the dominant sect were the Caribbean contingent, but now that the raw numbers show that Afro-Brits make up more of the wider population, is it time to shift the culture to more of an African slant? Is it already happening?Lastly: (49:17) The Cockney accent - birthed in East London - is one of the biggest cultural exports we have ever produced. But the days of rhyming slang and "Wheeler-dealers" are dwindling; where has the Cockney gone?Thank you for listening!

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has triumphantly declared his new Brexit deal with the EU – the Windsor Framework. What exactly does it entail, how does it differ from the NI Protocol, what does it mean for business and of course, will it be enough for the DUP to allow Stormont to return? Ciarán Dunbar is joined by commentators David McCann and Sarah Creighton, the Belfast Telegraph's Northern Ireland editor Sam McBride and from the business team, Alyson Magee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
NI Protocol deal latest - Your reaction
Following the cowardly shooting of DCI John Caldwell and the threatening statements from senior members of paramilitary gangs, things in the North seem febrile. Joining me to discuss what is happening on the ground in the affected communities are Shrapnel co-host, Sam Mcilwaine and journalist and co-facilitator with the Civic Initiative Northern Ireland, Emma DeSouza. We discuss the politics, the societal issues, the NI Protocol deal, the Good Friday Agreements 25th year anniversary and we ask how do we move forward when a noisy minority seem to want to drag us back?

Holly Cairns is seen as the most likely contender to succeed Roisin Shorthall and Catherine Murphy, who announced they're to step down as co-leaders of the Social Democrats this week. Harry McGee observes the party's younger generation of TDs and councillors may better reflect the profile of the party's membership. The first Irish Times poll of 2023 is reassuring for Fine Gael and Sinn Fein while perhaps offering a jolt for Fianna Fail, which has seen a slight drop in support since Micheál Martin departed the role of Taoiseach. Pat Leahy says the poll is also noteworthy for the number of undecideds, suggesting there's a large group of voters still to be won over before the next election. We were expecting a deal on the NI Protocol this week but it appears the British PM's biggest stumbling block may be overcoming the objections of his own backbenchers. And there was embarrassment for Fine Gael in the Dáil this week after Minister of State, Kieran O'Donnell, forgot to oppose a PBP bill which allowed it to pass to the next stage. Hosted on Acast.

Chef Danni Barry became the second woman in Ireland ever to earn a Michelin star while working at Eipic in Belfast in 2016—the first being none other than the legend Myrtle Allen, at Ballymaloe House in 1975. Barry is a powerhouse in the kitchen with a resumé that any young chef would aspire to. After coming up under the tutelage of Michael Deane, Barry worked at L'Enclume, Restaurant 23, and Cartmel in the UK and traveled around the world to places like Spain, Australia, and South Korea before returning to Ireland.Now back at home in the North, Barry is also a chef at a crossroads, in many ways mirroring the changes happening on a broader scale in the hospitality industry. After achieving Michelin recognition and consulting on the celebrated Wicklow Escape, we talk to Barry about what's next for her and for restaurants in general. We chat about the climate for female chefs in Ireland, the impact of losing her husband in 2019, and what it's like to open and operate a restaurant in post-Brexit Northern Ireland today.HRN is home to transformative exchanges about food.
