Founder-inspired by Netflix, powered by AI, and tested with lean startup tactics - Dublin's Sunday afternoon clubbing experiment finds its crowd. On Sunday 21st September, Dublin entrepreneur Saoirse Sheridan hosted her pilot Dance Space event at Wigwam, Dublin 1, with Reveller Music on the decks - a Sunday afternoon, alcohol-free clubbing experience. Around 20 people attended, 12 tickets were sold (€205 gross sales), and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants praising the atmosphere, the music, and the novelty of a daytime, booze-free dance floor. Dance Space Pilot in Dublin The spark for Dance Space came earlier this summer when Sheridan listened to Netflix founder Marc Randolph on The Diary of a CEO podcast discussing the power of rapid idea validation. "That really resonated - I had a personal problem: I love the clubbing vibe but don't want late nights or alcohol. Using lean startup thinking, I realized I could test the idea quickly, cheaply, and see if anyone else felt the same," Sheridan explains. The pilot investment To test the idea properly, Sheridan invested about €1,500 upfront in branding, a simple website, and promotion - the basics needed to get the first event off the ground. The pilot itself brought in €205 in ticket sales, with around 20 people dancing on the day. "Yes, it cost me money, but the real goal wasn't profit on the first night. The point was validation: would people actually come, enjoy it, and want more? And the answer, based on the energy in the room, was a definite yes." Fast learning with AI Sheridan leaned on AI tools throughout the process - from drafting the website to preparing event communications. Working with three interns, she was able to move from idea to launch in just a few months. After the pilot, she is now using ChatGPT to review ticketing data and customer feedback in preparation for the next event on 19th October. "It's all about test, learn, and pivot. AI can speed things up, but it's the human response in the room that tells you whether you're onto something," she notes. National attention Ahead of the pilot, Sheridan was interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1's Ray D'Arcy Show, which helped spread the word nationally and brought fresh attention to the idea. Bigger picture: cultural shifts The pilot reflects broader changes in Ireland's social habits. Alcohol consumption has fallen by 30% in the last two decades, and the sober-curious movement is growing, particularly among Gen Z. Wellness is no longer confined to gyms or yoga studios - people are looking for social spaces that fit with healthier lifestyles and Monday morning commitments. Sheridan says Dance Space is part of that bigger picture, but she is also realistic: "For me, this doesn't have to turn into a huge venture to be worthwhile. The real win is testing the idea, seeing people enjoy themselves, and learning from it. That in itself has been very rewarding." Balancing projects At the same time, Sheridan remains fully committed to her main venture, Elder Home Share, a social enterprise matching older people with housemates for support and companionship. Dance Space, she says, is a passion project and a live case study in rapid validation. "This has been a great learning experience. Even if it doesn't become a big long-term project, proving an idea quickly and seeing people enjoy it has been worthwhile in itself," she reflects. Founder's takeaway Dance Space represents not only a new addition to Ireland's wellness scene but also an example of how entrepreneurial thinking and AI tools can lower the barriers to testing ideas fast. Sheridan laughs: "I had a good dance myself, was home for my Sunday dinner, and in bed by 9pm - just the way I like it." About the founder: Saoirse Sheridan is the founder of Elder Home Share, a Dublin-based social enterprise that matches older people with compatible housemates for companionship and support. Dance Space is her latest side project, applying lean startup and AI-driv...

Ved hjælp af en computer og en gratis prøve fra en amerikansk datamægler er det lykkedes RADIO IIII at identificere adskillige folk, der færdes i det danske efterretningsmiljø. FE og PET oplyser ellers ikke, hvem de har ansat – og den seneste afgørelse i sagen om Ahmed Samsam viser, at der skal en dom fra Højesteret til før, at tjenesterne vil bekræfte, hvem de har på lønningslisten. Men hvis vores journalister kan finde frem til danske efterretningsmedarbejde uden at betale en krone for informationen, hvorfor skulle andre - eventuelt med onde hensigter - så ikke kunne præcis det samme? Journalist på RADIO IIII, Andreas Wentoft, udlægger sagen. Værter: Mathias Wissing og Peter Marstal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olivia O'Leary has been a television and radio broadcaster on both the BBC, ITV and RTÉ – the Irish public service broadcaster in her native Ireland. In 1985, Olivia became the first female presenter on BBC's Newsnight. She later returned to Ireland, presenting once again ‘Today Tonight' – RTÉ's flagship current affairs programme. She has also presented BBC Radio 4's ‘Between Ourselves' and delivered a regular column on RTÉ Radio 1's drive time.This week, we get an Irish perspective on the UK election, discuss the complex relationships between Ireland and the UK, and examine how RTÉ, the Irish public service broadcaster, is faring after a series of scandals and the challenges they are facing with funding. Also, as a former presenter, Olivia shares her views on the changes to Newsnight and the future of journalism.“The government has refused to make a decision on the future funding of public service media, and particularly RTÉ. They've kept putting it off, putting it off, putting it off. Our old licence fee system, because of the scandals last year, is now under enormous pressure. One fifth of people never paid it anyway. And even a bigger percentage don't pay it now.”To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month: www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership Or if you'd rather make a one-off payment (which doesn't entitle you to the blog) please use our crowdfunding page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/roger-boltons-beeb-watch-podcast @BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: roger@rogerboltonsbeebwatch.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Former RTE broadcaster Ryan Tubridy kicked off his new job, presenting Virgin Radio UK's midmorning show, on Tuesday. The London-based commercial radio station is very different from the national broadcaster and this new iteration of The Ryan Tubridy show, where he is more DJ than chat show presenter, is different from his former slot on RTÉ Radio 1; at three hours it's certainly longer. He was let go from RTÉ in June amid the payments controversy that in 2023 engulfed the broadcaster and in which he was centrally involved. On the new show there is more music and less talk, but as Irish Times radio reviewer Mick Heaney notes on today's In the News podcast, Tubridy has brought his familiar-to-Irish ears obsessions with him across the water. But will English listeners find references to the Beatles, walks, books, Connemara and pint of Guinness quite so charming? Can he do a Terry Wogan and become a beloved Irish broadcaster in the UK - or are those days over? Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast.
