I caught most of this programme this morning on RTE Radio 1 (audio here). It was a most pleasant surprise! It starts safely enough, but soon turns into a proper radio feature. Not ostentatious, yet very tasty.
Simple music, filed recordings, maybe some FX, used to excellent effect with interviews informative, passionate, and poetic.
"Why are the best shows on Irish radio on early Saturday and Sunday mornings?" I asked myself – a repeat question that still stands.
I was pleased at the end to hear Wreck Diving in Ireland was paid for by the BCI's Sound and Vision scheme, something which had passed me by until recently.
The slot is called Private Passions, and is available as a podcast.
