Listen back to Dublin: One City, One Book 2018, when we celebrated The Long Gaze Back, and the female voice in Irish literature. This anthology of 30 short stories is edited by Sinead Gleeson. In this episode novelist and journalist Martina Devlin discusses the fascinating letters from Somerville and Ross n the early 1900s. Edith Somerville and her second cousin Violet Martin may have been Victorian women, but their flair, business expertise and ambition were ultra-modern. From their light-hearted Irish R.M. series of stories to darker novels including the classic The Real Charlotte, their skills as the Somerville and Ross writing duo were wide-ranging. Their talents extended to their correspondence, and the voices of these irrepressible, talented Women of Letters emerges in their dispatches to Lady Gregory, their literary agent, James Pinker – and to each other.

Sinead Gleeson - Sonja Tiernan, Eamon Cleary Chair of Irish Studies at University of Otago, previews her conversation with Irish writer and broadcaster Sinead Gleeson.

The annual Arts Over Borders festival reaches into rural and urban communities on both sides of the Irish border. Curated with a strong sense of place and extending across four counties – from Fermanagh to Donegal, Tyrone to Derry/Londonderry- the border itself looms large in the festival. In this series of The Essay, recorded in front of live audiences at the 2019 Arts Over Borders festival in Enniskillen and Derry/Londonderry, five writers explore the theme of boundaries. At the Royal Grammar School, Enniskillen, Irish writer and broadcaster Sinéad Gleeson talks about the ways in which pain, inequality and borders can separate us. Producers: Ophelia Byrne & Cathy Moorehead

Playwright James Graham, author of Brexit: the Uncivil War and The Coalition, talks about making drama out of a constitutional crisis and how soon is too soon to begin fictionalising current political events.

The writer and producer discusses his new ITV drama series A Confession, starring Martin Freeman, about the murder of 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan in Swindon in 2011. James and Jeff also discuss the ups and downs of television drama trailers. Fifty years after British troops arrived on the streets of Belfast and Londonderry in an attempt to quell disorder which seemed to be taking Northern Ireland towards civil war, writers Sinead Gleeson and Glenn Patterson discuss the way in which The Troubles have been presented across the arts, especially in literature and on film

Writer Sinéad Gleeson's story is nothing short of fascinating. From her four year struggle with monoarticular arthritis as a teenager to her battle with leukaemia in her twenties, it is no surprise that Sinéad's journey through life is a powerful tale. With a beautiful honesty, Sinéad opens up about why she believes 'immobility is gasoline for the brain' (5:00), her lightbulb moment as a writer (35:00) and how she feels women are now able to speak out (14:00). From her incredible depiction of her anger with the world of medicine (47:00), dealing with grief (1:02:00) to the power of a supportive partner (Patreon Full Length Version Only) and much more, this is a truly enlightening conversation with one of Ireland's top literary talents.

Sinead Gleeson in conversation with composer, record producer, singer, writer, and visual artist. Brian Eno

I have to admit I always find it a bit strange when I sit down with somebody I know to do a podcast. I just think it's easier when it's someone I haven't met before. I've known Sinead Gleeson since the blog explosion in the early-mid 2000s, when we all had to answer the question 'What's a blog?' every time we talked about it. Now everyone know what a blog is and we're in the 'What's a podcast?' era! Sinead's blog, which I think was called Sigla, won lots of awards in the Pop Culture category, and since then she has gone on to do lots of great, interesting stuff. She set up a feminist website called The Anti-Room with Anna Carey; she writes for the Irish Times (among others); she presents The Book Show (@bookshowrte) for RTE Radio 1, and most recently she's compiled an essential anthology of short stories by Irish women writers called 'The Long Gaze Back'. We chat about all that, and much more in this episode. Hope you enjoy it.

On The Book Show this week Sinead Gleeson talks to Gary Shteyngart and Liam Geraghty looks at book adapted into musicals.

Sinead Gleeson talks to one of the 20th century's most prolific writers Joyce Carol Oates.

In this week’s Culture podcast Shane Hegarty talks to Sinead Gleeson, Declan Burke and Mick Heaney and asks are we witnessing the end of literary fiction?
