Eamon Dunphy

Gerry Ryan

In 1996 my now-legendary interview with Eamon Dunphy - also the subject of the earlier podcast Eamon Dunphy Unleashed - created a media stir, particularly in the tabloids, as a result of "Eamo" putting in what The Star called 'Dunphy's Firing line' the likes of Gay Byrne, Gerry Ryan, Pat Kenny, Brenda Donohue, Cynthia Ni Murchu and so on. However, listening back to this part of the eleven-hour interview, it is obvious that Dunphy also was levelling some valid criticisms of the ideology behind broadcasting in RTE at the time. Doe his criticisms still stand? You decided. The print version of the interviews - not uncensored as happened when they were published in an Irish magazine - are now available in my new eBook Conversations with a Loudmouth: The Eamon Dunphy Tapes. It is available from Amazon and soon will be elsewhere. This was ED at his peak.

Lynne Parker

Ten of Ireland's leading theatres, drama festivals and theatre companies have agreed to a range of gender equality policies, which in some cases will see “gender-blind casting” or ensuring that half of new shows will be written by women.  The gender equality policy for the theatre sector, launched by Minister for Culture Josepha Madigan, arose from the Waking the Feminists campaign to address the under-representation of women, including writers and directors, in Irish theatre. Roísín Ingle talks to academic Dr Brenda Donohue, who has produced a study on the subject, &amp; Lynne Parker, director and co-founder of Rough Magic theatre company. Hosted on Acast.
