In this podcast we will read and discuss all of William Shakespeare’s plays over the course of a year, starting and ending on the Bard’s birthday. Together we’ll explore the big questions the plays put on the table and the poetry that makes those questions so human. Along the way we’ll be joined by poets, scholars, playwrights, and actors who can help us celebrate the poet whose influence continues to resound loudest over the Western world. Happy birthday, Shakespeare!
Heard the news? The Indo Daily takes you beyond the headlines of the stories people are talking about. This is news like you’ve never heard it before.
Weekly movie podcast hosted by Zach Brooks and Brendan Fitzpatrick. Each week we watch a movie that is somehow connected to the movie we watched the previous week. We discuss the movie, take listener feedback, discuss connections to previous movies and then end the episode by picking our next movie based on suggestions sent in by the listeners and brought by your hosts. We've covered 150+ movies over the last few years and look forward to many more.
A selection of the best talks, discussions and performances from our annual documentary festival in Belfast, Docs Ireland.
