On this episode, Mary Moynihan, reflects on the current political climate in the US, Europe, and Ireland. She explores the urgent need to speak truth to power, calling on leaders to address wealth inequality, rising defence spending, and human rights abuses while advocating for peace and justice.
Our guest artist is award-winning poet Annemarie Ní Churreáin, whose work delves into heritage, identity, and resilience. We discuss her journey as a writer, the state of the arts in Ireland today, and her advice for aspiring poets. You can find her work in the latest edition of Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal.
Plus, we highlight ‘Ten We Admire’—a celebration of Irish-language artists making waves across disciplines, from the boundary-pushing hip-hop of Kneecap to the evocative performances of Ceara Conway and Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín.
