Podcast appearances and mentions of siobhan mcsweeney

Siobhan McSweeney joined Ray to chat all about her new gig as host of the Traitors Ireland.

The issue of converting asylum seekers to Christianity has been in the headlines this week with accusations that some clergy are naive or too eager to help asylum seekers stay in the country. We talk to a Baptist elder with experience of converting and helping asylum seekers.Jaz from Traitors won the respect of TV audiences with the way he played the gameshow, but he revealed it was his Sikh faith that guided him through the show and helped him be a true Faithful. The film Samsara – which has just reached our cinemas – has attracted some great reviews despite the fact that you are encouraged to watch part of it with your eyes closed. It tells the story of the journey of the soul of an elderly woman in Laos to its reincarnation as goat in Zanzibar. Edward speaks to director Lois Patino and Dechen Pemba from the Tibetan Film Festival who went to see it on our behalf.There was another bust up over same sex blessings in the Church of England this week. A Bishop resigned from the process, and 130 people wrote a letter in protest at what they believe are delays to a trial to test out separate services of blessing. Edward talks to Professor Helen King and Dr Ian Paul, both members of General Synod and hears from a couple waiting for their special day in church.A year of celebrations to mark 1500 years since the death of St Brigid are underway in Ireland. Edward talks to Derry Girls actress Siobhan McSweeney and historian Dr Mary Condren about why she's a feminist saint fit for the 21st century.PRESENTER: EDWARD STOURTON PRODUCERS: CATHERINE MURRAY & JAMES LEESLEY EDITOR:TIM PEMBERTON

She's a BAFTA Award winning actress known for her roles on 'Derry Girls' and 'Extraordinary' but life could have been different for science grad Siobhan McSweeney. Ahead of her role in the 3Olympia and Landmark production of 'Happy Days' in Cork and Dublin, Siobhan hopped on the phone to chat BAFTA speeches, playing an Irish Mammy with a difference but mostly, to moan about the weather!

PJ catches up with Cork favourite Siobhan as she prepares for "Happy Days"https://www.corkmidsummer.com/whats-on/happy-days Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura retained her crown as Eurovision as her March 1st winner prediction came through after the weekend, birthday party divide and Siobhan McSweeney's BAFTAs win.

This week's episode of Recorded History, is some unholy craic as Ed is joined by Sister Michael herself, the incredible and hilarious Siobhan McSweeney who discusses how and why she got into acting, her genuine love for that iconic character in Derry Girls and the 3 records that have soundtracked her remarkable journey so far. This episode was recorded live at Electric Picnic and in front of an adoring crowd...and one heckler. Enjoy!

The writer Hadley Freeman stopped eating when she was 14, and spent the next three years in and out of hospital, battling with anorexia. Now in her mid-forties, she says she didn't completely close the door on the disease until relatively recently. In Good Girls – A Story and Study of Anorexia, she gives an unflinching account of what happened to her and looks at what happens to girls who become anorexic now; what we know and what we don't about the mental illness. Brian Friel's classic play Dancing at Lughnasa has opened at the National Theatre. Telling the story of the five Mundy sisters, two of the actors, more recently on our screens in Derry Girls - Siobhan McSweeney and Louisa Harland - discuss their new roles. Emma Booth is on the Woman's Hour Power List, this year focussed on women in sport. Emma impressed the judges as she took a public stand against major golf brand TaylorMade and their lack of female imagery and golf products for women. She reflects on speaking out against such a well-known company and how it is to be a woman in golf. The conservative peer Baroness Sayeeda Warsi has criticised the home secretary Suella Braverman for using "racist rhetoric". She says her recent comments on small boats and grooming gangs have "emboldened racists". We ask her why she's decided to speak out. Have you ever heard an interview with a robot on the radio? We speak to the world's first ultra-realistic artist robot, Ai-Da, and her creator, Aidan Meller. What's it like to become a pop star at almost 46? Twenty years ago Alexis Strum had a record deal and achieved her dream to make an album, but then it was pulled. She walked away from music – until now. She shares her story with Nuala. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Lucy Wai Editor: Louise Corley

Brian Friel's classic play Dancing at Lughnasa has opened at the National Theatre in London. Telling the story of the five Mundy sisters, two of the actors, more recently on our screens in Derry Girls – newly-Bafta nominated Siobhan McSweeney (AKA Sister Michael) and Louisa Harland (AKA Orla McCool) - join Nuala McGovern in the Woman's Hour studio. UN experts have warned the UK government that its treatment of unaccompanied asylum seeker children is increasing the risk that they could be trafficked and is breaching international law. A statement issued yesterday expressed concern about the fate of children who had gone missing and has urged that the government does more to protect them. Siobhán Mullally is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on trafficking. Laura Trevelyan and 6 members of her family earlier this year travelled to Grenada to issue a public apology to the people of the Caribbean Island for her family's links to the slave trade. The Trevelyan family is donating more than £100,000 in reparations. Now Laura is campaigning full time on the Caribbean's fight for reparatory justice. And later this month she is launching a new group composed of families in Britain, with similar backgrounds, ancestors who were slave owners. Yesterday a 19-year-old who stabbed another teenager to death in a quiet Somerset town was found guilty of murder. Joshua Delbono stabbed 16-year-old Charley Bates in Radstock, Somerset, on 31 July last year. It was Delbono's mother Donna who called the police and told them her son had killed Charley. This is a very serious crime which perhaps made it a clear cut decision for Donna Delbono to call the police but what about when it comes to other issues, if you knew your teenage child was taking or dealing drugs, stealing, or maybe drink driving - Would you ever call the police on your child? If, so at what point would you do it? Former detective superintendent Shabnam Chauhdri and former Conservative MP, parent and now criminal barrister Anna Soubry discuss. You may well have heard of Emmeline Pankhurst who was a leading figure in the suffragette movement, which called for the right for women to vote….But what about Kitty Marshall - one of Emmeline Pankhurst's bodyguards? Emelyne Godfrey's new book Mrs Pankhurst's Bodyguard shines a light on Kitty Marshall and how she helped Mrs Pankhurst to evade the clutches of the authorities as a member of the Women's Social and Political Union's elite team ‘the Bodyguard'. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Do you know much about nuns? Many people don't, but some nuns in the US are turning to social media to bring religion into the 21st century. Sister Monica Clare from the Community of St John the Baptist went viral on Tik Tok after followers wanted to know her skin routine - now she answers people's questions about being a nun. She joins Krupa as does Siobhan McSweeney, who plays fictional Sister Michael in Derry Girls to talk all about nuns. Actor Anne-Marie Duff talks to Emma about her new role as Constance, a working class matriarch from the Midlands in a new play that spans five decades of the lives, and deaths, of the Webster family. ‘The House of Shades' by Beth Steel is on at London's Almeida Theater until 18th June. Are you happiest when you're in the office or do you prefer to work from home? Are you contemplating leaving a role because it's no longer flexible? Dr Jane Parry, Associate Professor of work and employment at Southampton Business school and Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff speak to Emma about recent work from home data. After Little Mix said goodbye to their fans with their final show on Saturday before going on hiatus, it seems that for the first time in decades, Britain is without a major girl band. Emma is joined by Melanie Chisholm from the Spice Girls and music journalist, Jacqueline Springer. Women attending abortion clinics in the UK can face “regular harassment” according to a report from BBC Newsnight. Anti-abortion groups who gather outside services say they're holding “prayer vigils” and offering help but some patients say they have been so distressed they've had panic attacks or even felt suicidal. Now charities are calling for protected areas outside all services which activists cannot legally enter. BBC Newsnight Correspondent Anna Collinson speaks to Krupa about it. A new exhibition exploring female spiritual beings in world belief and mythological traditions around the globe opens at the British Museum this week. Feminine power: the divine to the demonic is the first exhibition of its kind to bring together ancient sculpture, sacred artifacts and contemporary art from six continents. Belinda Crerar, Exhibition Curator at the British Museum and Dr Janina Ramirez, a British Art Historian and author of Goddess a book for children written to accompany this exhibition join Krupa.

Last night saw the end of the critically acclaimed Channel 4 series Derry Girls by Lisa McGee. It brought to British TV the history of modern Ireland through the eyes of school girls growing up in the 1990s. The third series has been hailed a triumph with the final episode being set during the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. Sister Michael actress Siobhan McSweeney speaks to Today's Simon Jack about the end of the programme and its political importance today. (Image Credit: Channel 4)

Helen Fitzgerald grew up in rural Australia as one of 13 siblings. Her new novel Keep Her Sweet looks at what happens when 'normal' sibling rivalry turns into something else. She joins Krupa to explain why she's so fascinated by the dark corners of family life. When was the last time you saw a nun? It feels like a very old-fashioned vocation – and there are less and less in the public eye now. But some nuns in the US are turning to Tik Tok to bring religion into the 21st century through social media. The Daughters of St Paul are known as the ‘media nuns' on Tik Tok, they do skits and dances, and have millions of followers worldwide. Then Sister Monica Clare from the Community of St John the Baptist went viral because she was on Tik Tok and everyone wanted to know her skin routine…now she answers people's questions about being a nun. And, of course, we've got everyone's favourite - less PC nun – Sister Michael from Derry Girls, played by Siobhan McSweeney. Women attending abortion clinics in the UK can face “regular harassment” according to a report from BBC Newsnight. Anti-abortion groups who gather outside services say they're holding “prayer vigils” and offering help but some patients say they have been so distressed they've had panic attacks or even felt suicidal. Now charities are calling for protected areas outside all services which activists cannot legally enter. More than 100,000 women in the UK attended abortion services targeted by activists in 2019, according to latest data from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which is a leading provider of abortions. Anna Collinson is the Newsnight Correspondent who compiled the report. It's four years since journalist and actor Nicky Clark founded the Acting Your Age Campaign. Incensed by the lack of middle-aged women on stage, television and in film, and rarely seeing stories of women like herself portrayed, she has attracted a lot of support from women such as Meera Syal, Tracy-Ann Obermann and MP Jess Phillips. Actor and fellow-supporter, Juliet Stevenson joins Nicky and presenter Krupa Padhy to explain why it appears male actors on screen ‘have a whole life and women have a shelf life' and why this campaign is necessary.

Rob, Laura and Ciara caught up with Cork actor Siobhan McSweeney ahead of the final series premier of Derry Girls, Rob's green fingers and Cork's greatest dad.

Siobhan McSweeney plays one of the best small screen characters at the moment, Sister Michael, and just took part in #DearIreland, a massive and innovative project to keep the Abbey Theatre in our lives. The Abbey commissioned writers like Enda Walsh, Sonya Kelly and Stacey Gregg, to write five- to 10-minute monologues. Each script is performed and filmed by 50 actors, often at home including Brendan Gleeson, Nicola Coughlan, Seána Kerslake and Siobhan McSweeney. The piece performed by Siobhan McSweeney recalled the famous city character, Katty Barry - a famous Cork character who owned and ran a shebeen on Dalton's Avenue near the Coal Quay. In the performance, Siobhan played Katty as she might be today - she died in 1982 - and how she would be coping with the current pandemic. Watch her performance here: Katty became so famous that she had a verse composed in her honour in the famous Cork anthem, The Boys of Fairhill.
