(here's RTE's website for it http://www.rte.ie/radio1/sundaymiscellany/ and the podcast website: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_sundaymiscellany.xml )
This is the prose and poetry. Stories about life, about weather, about memories, philosophical and funny (sometimes simultaneously) these stories are of Ireland, written with the cadence of the English spoken in Ireland this is one of the best ways to understand the Irish and how a story is built in Ireland. I would recommend this to people trying to capture Ireland and the Irish from the 20th and 21st century. Often it captures an ordinary day but paints it in a brilliant light of warm love. The stories are funny, philosphical, (and sometimes both); entertaining and heartwarming. It's worth a read, or two.
