Lesley's back on her old stomping ground in the north of Ireland showing her Denmark movie at the Imagine! Belfast Festival.She talks about the reaction to the film and the festival itself. This leads us into chat on the forgotten history of radical Presbyterianism, border polls, and the disputatious nature of  the debates  over both the Irish language and Ulster/Scots.We examine the ongoing controversy over the impact of Rachel Reeves Spring Statement on PIP claimants and ask if Trump's latest tariffs have already wiped out the fiscal headroom she gained on the back of her cuts.The UK government still appears to be clinging to the misplaced belief that sooking up to Trump will result in a US trade deal but at what cost as the MAGA  government zealots seem to be placing "free speech" conditions within any deals. This support for "free speech" doesn't extend to anyone speaking out against the Trump administration. We ask, in the light of recent UK events and government statements if Labour isn't immune from this authoritarian contagion?All this plus updates on the continuing crisis at Dundee University, the barrage of price rises hitting folk today, and spurious references to a classic Will Hay comedy. ★ Support this podcast ★

After a bit of a break, Dyed Green is back with a conversation with Paula McIntyre, a chef, writer, and broadcaster and the director of Slow Food Northern Ireland, based in Portstewart in County Derry. Paula's passion for cooking began at the age of 8, when she visited an Italian deli in Edinburgh, where she had a formative experience with parmesan cheese and Parma ham. As luck would have it, Kate met Paula at a market in Rome while crying and eating pizza. Chef Paula McIntyre thinks chefs waste too much time trying to make something fancy that would taste better if it were more simply prepared: “You're not going to end up with anything in three hours that you wouldn't have ended up with in two minutes.” On today's episode, we discuss Paula's enduring love affair with turnip tops and Red Cow parmesan, attending culinary school in the United States, and following the food journey of Ulster Scots immigrants along the Appalachian trail. Dyed Green is a project of Bog & Thunder, whose mission is to highlight the best of Irish food and culture, through food tours, events, and media.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an t-aonú lá is fiche de mhí Eanáir. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Agus an Dáil ag filleadh le linn na seachtaine, dúirt Aire Stáit úr na Gaeltachta go mbeadh an phleanáil teanga, an tAcht Teanga agus pobal na hUltaise i measc na dtosaíochtaí aige sa chéad cúpla mí ina ról úr. Dúirt Patrick O'Donovan, an tAire Stáit nua, a ceapadh sa ról díreach mí ó shín, go gcuirfeadh sé tús le hathbhreithniú neamhspleách ar an chéad deich bPlean Teanga Gaeltachta i mbliana. Leanfar an obair seo obair a rinne an t-iarAire Stáit Gaeltachta Jack Chambers. Dúirt O'Donovan gur baineadh go leor amach i dtaobh na reachtaíochta in 2022 agus luaigh sé an conradh a aontaíodh le hOllscoil na Gaillimhe chun taighde a dhéanamh faoin Phlean Náisiúnta atá le hullmhú i dtaca le seirbhísí poiblí i nGaeilge agus earcú cainteoirí Gaeilge sa státchóras. Ba mhúinteoir scoile é O'Donovan sula ndeachaigh sé leis an pholaitíocht, agus d'adhmháil sé go bhfuil a chuid Gaeilge beagnach caillte aige. Thug sé le fios ag am a cheapacháin go raibh sé i gceist aige cuairt a thabhairt ar Ghaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne le linn na Nollag chun í a athfhoghlaim ach deir sé nach bhfuair sé an deis an turas sin a dhéanamh go fóill. Tá an comhlacht idirnaisiúnta teicneolaíochta Microsoft chun 11,000 duine a chur chun bealaigh i mbabhta iomarcaíochta go luath. Scaoilfear i bhfad níos mó daoine ná a tharla i bpróiseas iomarcaíochta a bhí ag Microsoft riamh, agus síltear go bhfuil seans ann go mbeidh níos mó ciorruithe troma le teacht san earnáil teicneolaíochta. Faoi láthair tá thart fá 221,000 fostaí ag an chomhlacht, agus 3500 díobh fostaithe in Éirinn. Deirtear gurb iad postanna sa rannóg innealtóireachta agus i rannóg na n-acmhainní daonna na postanna atá i mbaol. Seo a tháinig i measc cailleadh postanna i gcomhlachtaí móra eile amhail Twitter, Amazon, Meta (an comhlacht ar leis Facebook), agus Snapchat. I gcás Twitter, ar cheannaigh Elon Musk ag deireadh 2022, briseadh 7500 duine as a bpost go díreach nuair a thosaigh Musk ina phost nua, agus d'éirigh cuid mhaith eile as a bpost in éadan beartais úra a tháinig isteach faoi Musk thart fán am céanna.

Bhí an chuid ba mhó de na scoileanna san iarthuaisceart, bunscoileanna agus meánscoileanna i nDoire, i Léim an Mhadaidh agus ar an Srath Bán ina measc. Dúirt na póilíní go raibh coinníollacha tiomána contúirteach ar fud Thuaisceart Éireann mar gheall ar an sneachta agus na teochtaí reo. Síníodh an rabhadh buí aimsire le haghaidh sneachta agus oighir ar feadh cúpla lá, agus bhí an comhlacht taistil Translink ag comhairliú do phaisinéirí go gcuirfí isteach ar sheirbhísí ar fud Thuaisceart Éireann. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

This week Kate Molleson focusses on Northern Ireland. Kate visits pianist Ruth McGinley at her studios in The MAC in Belfast to chat about her upcoming album of Irish airs and her unique approach to music making. Beyond Skin is an arts collective using music as a means for cultural education and exchange. Darren Ferguson explains how the collective has been working with musicians seeking asylum and refugee status through creative collaboration and social support. Kate meets with some of these musicians including Shiva, a guitar teacher from Iran. The Lambeg Drum is one of the loudest acoustic instruments and Kate gets to hear one in Co. Antrim, in the company of Willie Hill and Dr Diana Culbertson. They talk about the role the drum plays in the Ulster-Scots community. Back in Belfast fiddle player Kevin McCullagh talks about his journey into experimental improvisation and subverting audiences' expectations of traditional music. Kate hears about the Ulster Orchestra's new home embedded in the community at Townsend Street, Belfast and she takes a short walk to visit pupils at Malvern Primary School in the Lower Shankill as they begin their cello class as part of the orchestra's Crescendo Project.

Go Yinzers! We devote this episode to Pittsburgh, PA, a.k.a. Steel City Pennsylvania.  After Andrea's fab visit there in Spring 2022 we knew we had to deep dive into this fantastic place, with our usual Where In The World brain-teaser (clue: the answer is not Pittsburgh) and a departure lounge chat with the fact- and fun-filled Corrie from Walk The Burgh Tours.  Our Top 5 this episode is devoted to Only in Pittsburgh attractions - its 446 bridges; the Moonshot Museum; Wigle Whisky; the Andy Warhol Museum and the famous Primanti Bros. sandwiches. And we do all this while sipping on two of the city's famous libations, Engine House 25 wine and the aforementioned Wigle Whisky, because, well, who wouldn't?  We learn that Andrew Carnegie seems to have named many of Pittsburgh's attractions after himself (well, he did pay for them, after all) and we discover the fascinating Ulster-Scots / Scots-Irish history and language of the city, and wider Pennsylvania area in general.   Andrea also keeps up the TIYP podcast tradition of totally mis-pronouncing proper nouns and so, apologies the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers!  Thank you to everyone at Visit Pittsburgh - do visit them online to find out exactly why your next trip should be there: www.visitpittsburgh.com. And finally, thank you to all the Yinzers Andrea met on her trip - you are the friendliest, most helpful and fun bunch of people!   SUBSCRIBE to our podcast - it would absolutely make our day!  And please do follow us here: Instagram Twitter  Facebook Thanks, as always, to our good friends from the band 3D Shark, who provide our theme tune. If we plug them enough, we hope that one day they'll get into the charts and buy us a pint.  Thanks for listening!       

The 12th of July is a holiday across the 6 counties of Northern Ireland. It is the day that many celebrate by participating in marching bands, having barbecues and enjoying the holiday with their families in different ways. In this episode we look at the arrival of the Scots in the counties of Ulster - and the subsequent "first migration" in the 18th century to the colonies of north America where they eventually became known as "Scotch-Irish". We also look at the rise and (gradual) fall of the Orange order in Ulster. All accompanied by lots of music and chat along the way. Enjoy!

Exploring and highlighting the positives is what the Made to Parade podcast is all about, while our primary focus has been marching bands, we have at times ventured of into other territory, and this week we are exploring the world of Highland Dancing here in Northern Ireland.It's fair to say that my knowledge in this area is very limited, so I am am absolutely delighted to have been able to connect with Georgina Kee from Sollus Highland Dancers. Georgina is a leading figure in Highland dancing here, having started at the age of 12, she had been instrumental in the growth of young people taking part and also has went on to perform at the highest levels, with a 5 year stint as part of the Highland Dancing team at the Edinburgh Tattoo!Georgina shares her story about how she got involved with dancing and surprising it starts with being a member of a pipe band! She explains how key relationships played a part in her development and the impact that continues to have today.I hope, like me, you will find this a fascinating conversation and a nice wee break from 'the bawns'We are getting close to the end of the season now with just a few episodes left to go. Remember this is the last season of the podcast, but its not the end of Made to Parade we have some big plans ahead of us.So for now, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode with Georgina.Keep Marching On!

Après avoir évoqué l'histoire de l'Irlande, nous nous rendons sur place, à Belfast, capitale de l'Irlande du Nord. Etienne Duval est allé à la rencontre de Glenn Patterson. Romancier, journaliste, professeur au Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry de la Queens University, à Belfast. Avant ce rendez-vous, il a visité un musée méconnu, celui des colons écossais protestants d'Irlande du Nord, les "Ulster Scots", une communauté dont descend l'auteur. David Gilliland, directeur du musée, relate l'histoire de cette communauté dont les membres se retrouvent régulièrement pour écouter des airs de cornemuse. Illustration: drapeau des Ulster Scots. Il existe plusieurs drapeaux assez différents représentant les Ulster Scots, les colons protestants écossais d'Irlande du Nord. Une constante cependant: la main rouge de l'Ulster. Sur celui-ci, on trouve également une feuille de chardon, plante dont la fleur est l'emblème de l'Ecosse. Enfin le fond bleu à croix blanche est celui du drapeau écossais. (© Citizen69/wikimedia )

In ‘Whiskey Talkin' broadcaster Mark Thompson teams up with historian Dr Fionnan O'Connor to discover the fascinating, and almost forgotten story of what was once the greatest whiskey industry in the world. Irish whiskey is now enjoying a 21st century renaissance, with the fastest growing spirit sales in the world. Once a global player, whose industrial success was almost forgotten, it is a drink with a chequered past. Rogues and rebels, migration and moonshine, taxes and temperance – they're all part of a fascinating story that's shared between Ireland, Scotland and America. Ulster and Northern Ireland are at the heart of this story – from the Kingdom of Dalriada and the poitin masters of Donegal, to Northern Ireland's 21st century pioneers, currently resurrecting the brands and blends once counted among the most famous whiskeys in the world. Though Belfast's industrial golden age is more often associated with ship building and linen production, they reveal just how significant a role whiskey had in the growth of Belfast, where the industry once employed thousands – and generated millions. The film uncovers forgotten links between Ulster's whiskey makers, and our neighbour across the narrow sea, revealing just how much Scotland's whisky story owes to the north of Ireland, and looking back to a time when Irish whiskey exports outsold Scotch by three to one. Graphic designer Mark's fascination with branding and advertising opens a door on our industrial past, as he discovers just how much the story of whiskey connects with the history and heritage of the Ulster-Scots. From a tiny craft distiller in the Mournes to the historic home of old Bushmills, Mark and Fionnan explore a broken history, meeting with the enthusiasts who are rediscovering forgotten recipes and re-creating some of the great spirits from Irish whiskey's golden age. Whiskey Talkin' is on BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000wqgc/whiskey-talkin, and is a Northern Star Pictures Production, made with assistance from the Northern Ireland Screen Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/irishwhiskeyreview/message

My maternal Quaker Holloway family has begun to rival my maternal Quaker Harlan/Harling family, my paternal and maternal Quaker White family, and my paternal and maternal Ulster Scots and Scottish Stuart/Stewart family in terms of size and importance. These four families are enormous. Together, they connect me to a mind-blowing number of Americans from all walks of life. The sheer number of DNA cousins I have through these four families makes my head spin at times.

Here we are again the latest episode from the triplets of Nerdity, that’s right folks those wacky goofballs have done it again. First up we have Buck bringing us news about new robots using the art of Kirigami. The art of cutting paper, in this case it is cutting and folding paper. This method has been applied to robotics with some awesome results. Now while it is only early days, we ask you to remember the Origami claw we featured a while back. With this in mind you will understand why Buck is excited, and Professor joins in with the excitement. This is just the start of the show and it is already looking fantastic.Next we look at the dismal lack of taste exhibited by the foolish bunch of weirdos in Hollywood behind the Golden Globes. That’s right we said it, actually Buck did if any snipers are being sent for reprisals. But seriously, just get those idiots to go look at some of the amazing work in animation out there. It doesn’t have to be all CGI, honestly Hollywood was built on proper special effects. These days they struggle to do anything outside a computer lab. While we are not meaning to insult CGI and the wonders it can produce, why can’t we have some proper animation and anime getting awards. When can we see some real special effects like we used to get back in the day. Not meaning to sound as grumpy as Buck or as old as a Boomer but seriously the talent involved in special effects was astounding.Last we look at a remake of Sonic 06 that is actually looking good. That is until corporate lawyers realised they could make money by getting it shut down. Take a moment and open the link, doesn’t that look so much better then what was dumped on the market like so much garbage? The amount of work involved must be mind-blowing, but there may be hope for the future. Want to know what that might be, well you will need to listen in to find out. You thought I was slipping and going to tell you everything, but believe me, there is so much more for you.We finish with the regular shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and special events. As always we hope you take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.Self-folding robots using kirigami- https://techxplore.com/news/2019-12-robots-self-folding-kirigami-materials.html- https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/12/11/1906435116/tab-figures-dataAnime Movies snubbed from Golden Globes - https://www.cbr.com/golden-globes-shuts-out-anime-films-promare-weathering-with-you-i-lost-my-body/Sonic 06 Remade by a Fan - https://www.engadget.com/2019/12/11/sonic-p-06-unity-pc-fan-remake/Games currently playingBuck– Pirates Slay - https://www.crazygames.com/game/pirates-slayRating: 4.5/5DJ– Frenzy Retribution - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1108560/FrenzyRetribution/Rating: 4/5Professor- Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition - https://store.steampowered.com/app/813780/Age_of_Empires_II_Definitive_Edition/Rating: 4.733/5Other topics discussedKirigami Definiton (variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper, rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami, but typically does not use glue.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirigami- https://www.origami-resource-center.com/kirigami-for-kids.htmlT-1000 (A fictional character in the Terminator franchise.
