Paula McIntyre makes a Plum Barmbrack Bostock

Actor Ian McElhinney talks about his latest role in The Lost Children of Tuam, a powerful drama about the work of amateur historian Catherine Corless, whose research brought international attention to the Tuam babies scandal.

Author and historian Siobhán Doyle explores the stories behind Irish Sport in 100 Objects, featuring iconic items including George Best’s football boots, Barry McGuigan’s boxing robe, and a cue ball associated Alex “Hurricane” Higgins.

Donegal singer-songwriter McGrath performs live in the studio with new music from his forthcoming debut album, SÁSTA.

Rory O'Connor, a teacher and former international rower, chats about his record breaking attempt to row the 22 miles from Carrickfergus to Portpatrick to thank the neonatal unit at the Ulster Hospital who looked after his son.

We’re also joined by Bolero Lagratte and manager Abib M'Baye from the legendary Senegalese dance band Orchestra Baobab ahead of their appearance at the Belfast International Arts Festival.

And chef Paula McIntyre serves up a seasonal treat with her recipe for Plum Barmbrack Bostock.
