A reading of 'The Little Red Balloon', the winning entry in the 15-18 category of the Children's Short Story competition, by 17-year-old Emma Broderick, of Muckross Park College, Dublin.
This month's guest is Sinéad Gleeson, one of Ireland's leading arts journalists.
She is a former presenter of the book show on RTE radio and the editor of three anthologies of Irish short stories.
Next year Picador will publish a collection of Sinéad's own essays, provisionally titled 'Constellations'.
She talked to Martin Doyle at the Irish Writers Centre to discuss The Long Gaze Back, an anthology of Irish Women Writers which Sinead edited. The Long Gaze Back is April's Irish Times Book Club choice.
