Sa chlár spreagúil seo, aithrisíonn Áine scéal a saoil — óna grá a bhí aici don teanga go luath ina saol go dtí gur éirigh léi a bheith ar dhuine de na scríbhneoirí is mó tionchair i litríocht na hÉireann. Léiríonn sí a bealach féin chun na filíochta, chuig a cuid oibre le léitheoirí óga, agus a dhearcadh ar chumhacht na scéalaíochta trí mheán na Gaeilge.

This week, Emer O’Hagan is joined by poet, writer, and former Children’s Laureate (2020–2023), Áine Ní Ghlinn.

In this inspiring episode, Áine shares her life story—from her early love of language to becoming one of the most influential voices in Irish literature. She opens up about the path that led her to poetry, her work with young readers, and the power of storytelling through Irish.

Insíonn Ciarán cad a spreag an leabhar, na dúshláin a bhí ann roimhe, agus an príomhthéama taobh thiar den saothar. In éineacht leo, tá Joe Ó Dochartaigh agus Séamus Mac Aindreasa, beirt atá a bhfuil clú orthu i saol na Gaeilge, chun a ndearcadh féin a léiriú.

Presenter Wayne Pickering sits down with author Ciarán Dunbar to launch his new booklet ‘Dlús’, diving deep into the stories, insights, and experiences that shaped it.

Ciarán shares what inspired the book, the challenges he faced, and why the Irish language remains central to his work. He’s joined by Joe Ó Dochartaigh and Séamus Mac Aindreasa, two long-standing figures in the Irish language world, who bring their unique perspectives, offering reflections and personal stories.

Pléann siad cad a spreagann iad chun a bheith ag seinm sa Ghaeilge, an próiseas cruthaitheach atá taobh thiar dá gcuid amhrán, agus cén fáth gur uirlis chomh cumhachtach í an ceol chun an teanga a choinneáil beo.

In this episode, Úna sits down with Grooveline, who performed at our Séamus Ó'Néill Summer School. The genre-blending band is bringing fresh energy to the Irish language music scene.

Pléann siad an taighde seo is déanaí ó pheann Mhic Murchaidh a fhiosraíonn meath na Gaeilge i nDeisceart an Dúin, cad a spreag é chun an taighde seo a dhéanamh, agus cad a nochtann a chuid torthaí faoi stair theangeolaíoch an cheantair.

Ciarán Dunbar joins Ciarán Mac Murchaidh to discuss his powerful presentation at the Séamus Ó Néill Summer School.

They explore Mac Murchaidh’s latest research into the decline of Irish in South Down, what inspired him to take on this topic, and what his findings reveal about the region’s linguistic history.

Cé gur chuid dá saol an Ghaeilge i gcónaí, ní raibh an teanga ina tosaíocht aici i gcónaí ná ina cuid lárnach dá saol. Léiríonn sí cad a mheall chuig an teanga sa deireadh í, conas a fuair an teanga áit ina cuid grinn, agus cén fáth gur dóigh chomh cumhachtach é an greann chun nasc a dhéanamh le féiniúlacht agus le cultúr.

In this episode, Emer O’Hagan chats with award-winning bilingual comedian Áine Gallagher, fresh from her brilliant performance at the Séamus Ó Néill Summer School.

Though the Irish language has always surrounded Áine, it wasn’t always front and centre in her life. She shares what eventually drew her in, how the language found its way into her comedy, and why humour is such a powerful way to connect with identity and culture.
