In this special Long-Listen episode, I’m handing the mic over to the full panel recorded live at Radio Days Ireland 2025. We’re diving into a raw, real, and an entertaining conversation about AI and its place in the world of radio.

You’ll hear from James Cridland of Podnews, Glenn Mulcahy from Titanium Media, and yes, me, Joanne Sweeney, on everything from productivity hacks and policy pitfalls, to cloned voices, generative music, and the all-important question: should radio disclose when it uses AI? The session was moderated by Jess Kelly from Newstalk.

Thank you to Teresa Hanratty, of Learning Waves, organiser of the conference in partnership with the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) for giving me permission to share this with you.
