Another top Documentary on One

The most recent edition of RTÉ's Documentary on One is a cracker.

Who fears to speak of '98? is about events in Gaelic Games in 1998 – I know little about the sport and have no memories of those events, but can still enjoy this doc. It presents the drama of sport through radio features techniques – and also brings a sense of wider tension, in the air around the stadium. The editing is great – nice techniques that create the atmosphere and feelings needed, without disgruntling some of the more traditionally mined listeners who are probably still significant for this slot.

For listeners outside Ireland there may be some accent and vocabulary difficulties, but I think it's still worth listening to!
