Aideen's Wake Up Call

# Aideen's Wake Up Call

**Thursday, October 1st, 2026**

Good morning, Aideen! ☀️ Lachie Rocket is back with another hilariously hyper-personalized briefing made just for you—yes, YOU, Aideen—your audience-of-one wake-up call to kickstart your Thursday.

**🌦️ Today's Dublin Weather:** Mostly dry with sunny spells to start your day, but don't get too comfortable—isolated showers might crash the afternoon party. Keep that umbrella handy, because showery rain rolls in from the west this evening. Highs of 15–17°C.

**📅 What's On in Dublin:**

- 🏛️ The **Dublin Festival of History** launches today with events across the city

- 🕊️ The **Voices of Peace** exhibition opens in Sandycove, exploring peace, equality, and human rights

- 🎨 Feeling creative? The **Poetry, Art and Dance Creation Workshop** at Café Cén is calling your name this afternoon

Whether you're diving into Dublin's past, soaking up some culture, or just trying to dodge the rain, Lachie's got one message for you: get out there and embrace everything this vibrant city has to offer!

*Rise and shine, Aideen—Dublin is waiting!* 🎙️

# Aideen's Wake Up Call

**Wednesday, 30th September 2026**

Rise and shine, Aideen! Lachie Rocket is back at the kitchen table with your morning dose of chaos, caffeine, and questionable life advice — and today, you'll need all three.

Dublin's serving up a proper washout: relentless heavy rain, spot flooding, and gusts hitting gale force near the coast. Lachie's top tip? Keep those fancy new shoes firmly in the box. The only consolation is a low UV index — silver linings, folks. But hang in there: the rain clears tonight, and Thursday's looking bright and fresh with sunny spells and highs of 17°.

Don't let the deluge keep you indoors, though. **Ireland Music Week** kicks off today, with over 50 emerging Irish bands taking over the city, starting at Lost Lane — a must for anyone with an ear for the next big thing. And tonight, **Improv Fest Dublin** opens at the Teachers Club, celebrating the brave souls who make it all up as they go along (much like this show).

The message stands: even on the soggiest days, Dublin is electric. Grab your waterproofs and get out there.

🎧 *New episodes every morning — weather permitting.*

**Tuesday, 29th September 2026**

Rise and shine, Aideen! Lachie Rocket is live from his self-described "broom cupboard studio" with your personalized wake-up call—everything you need to face the day in Dublin, delivered with his signature irreverent charm.

**Weather:** It's a blustery one out there, with strong, gusty southeasterly winds keeping you on your toes. The morning starts dry, but don't be fooled—rain arrives by evening and turns persistent, with localised flooding possible. The silver lining? Temperatures reach a balmy 18–19°C. Warm rain—the fancy kind. And tomorrow? More of the same, plus thunderstorms for added razzle-dazzle.

**What's On:** Fancy some chaos tonight? Irish Roulette takes over The Grand Social—five bands, including The Psychs and Punter, with the playing order decided by a spinning wheel. Lachie calls it "the Late Late Toy Show, but for indie bands and with more pints."

**Traffic Alert:** EU ministers are meeting at Dublin Castle to discuss energy, so expect road closures in the area this morning—plan accordingly.

Only in Dublin could you go from European energy policy to a band called Punter in a single day. Lachie wouldn't have it any other way.

## Monday, 28th September 2026 — Dublin Weather & What's On

Rise and shine, Aideen! ☀️ Host Lachie Rocket is back with his signature humour to kick off your week with a personalised morning briefing you won't want to miss.

**In today's episode:**

🌤️ **The Weather:** Dublin is treating us to an unusually pleasant Monday — dry and bright with long spells of (occasionally hazy) sunshine and highs of 16–18°C. Unseasonably mild for late September! Pollen and UV levels are both low, so get out there and soak it up... because Tuesday is looking wet, windy, and decidedly grey.

🎸 **MusicTown 2026 launches today!** A week-long, city-wide celebration of the legendary Philip Lynott, with concerts and events popping up across Dublin. The boys are back in town, indeed.

🎨 **Culture fix:** The Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar is hosting *A Disentailing Deed* — a free exhibition that's perfect for a quick lunch-break wander.

Lachie signs off with a reminder to embrace the sunshine, the art, and the promise of the day — despite the "Monday-ness" of it all.

*Tune in, wake up, and make it a good one, Aideen!* 🎙️

**Aideen's Wake Up Call — Sunday, September 27, 2026**

Rise and shine, Aideen! Lachie Rocket is back with your 7:30 AM wake-up call, broadcasting live from a kitchen perfumed by burnt toast and "despair." It's chaotic, it's charming, it's Sunday morning in Dublin.

**🌧️ The Weather:** It's a dramatic start to the day — heavy rain, possible thunder, and a risk of localized flooding. Wellies strongly recommended! By afternoon, conditions improve with sunny spells, a few isolated showers, and blustery winds. So hold onto your hat, your umbrella, and any loose sketches.

**🎨 Last Chance Sunday:** Two Dublin arts events close their doors today, so don't miss out:

- **The Dublin Painting and Sketching Club's 148th Annual Exhibition** at the Townhall, 1 WML — your final opportunity to view members' work at this long-running showcase.

- **The Irish Film Institute's Documentary Festival** in Temple Bar — one last day to catch real-life stories on the big screen.

Lachie signs off with his trademark pep talk, urging Aideen to soak up some culture, dodge the puddles, and make the most of her Sunday — while he goes in search of a spatula and, possibly, a fire extinguisher.

Rise and shine, Aideen! 🌤️ Host Lachie Rocket is back with your personalized morning briefing — and this weekend kicks off with a crisis of epic proportions: a bread shortage. (Yes, really. Send toast.)

**In today's episode:**

🌦️ **The Weather Report** — Dublin's serving up a full "meteorological tasting menu": sunny spells, isolated showers, and pleasant highs of 18–20°C.

And hay fever sufferers, rejoice — pollen levels are low!

📚 **Dublin Festival of History** — Launching today across the city's libraries! This mostly free, city-wide celebration covers everything from 1980s media to Dublin's rich social history.

## Friday, 25th September 2026

It's the final Friday of September, and Lachie Rocket is broadcasting live from his kitchen — where the big philosophical question of the morning is whether biscuits count as breakfast. (Spoiler: they absolutely do.) Once the important matters are settled, it's time to get Aideen out of bed and into the day.

**On today's episode:**

🌧️ **The Weather** — Rain and drizzle to start, because Dublin, but sunny spells are on the way this afternoon. Temperatures hit a very Irish 16–18°C, officially entering "bring a jacket, regret it immediately" territory. Hay fever sufferers can breathe easy with a low pollen count, and the UV is minimal — the sun is keeping a low profile, much like Lachie before his second coffee.

🎭 **What's On** — It's opening day of the **Dublin Theatre Festival**, a massive moment for the city's arts scene, with Aideen crowned "the Beyoncé of the arts world" for the occasion. Plus, for those who prefer their art silent and mysterious, **The Forbidden Sun** opens at Photo Museum Ireland.

🧦 **The Send-Off** — Aideen heads out in her most artistic socks to conquer a city Lachie describes as a "magnificent, slightly soggy smorgasbord of culture." Listeners are advised to keep an eye out for a man in a loud shirt arguing with a seagull. It's probably him.

Start your Friday the right way — with rain, theatre, and questionable breakfast choices. Subscribe so you never miss a wake-up call!

**Thursday, September 24, 2026**

Rise and shine, Aideen! ☀️ Lachie Rocket is back with your personalized morning briefing, serving up Dublin's forecast and the best of what's happening around the city — all with his signature dose of cheer and questionable jokes.

**In today's episode:**

🌤️ **The Weather Lowdown:** Start your day with sunny spells, but don't get too comfortable — clouds roll in this afternoon with a chance of an isolated shower. With temps hitting a pleasant 18–19°C, a light jacket is your best friend today. Tonight? Rain sweeps in from the west before turning patchy. Good news for the sneezy among us: the pollen count is low!

🎭 **Around Town:** The Dublin Theatre Festival kicks off today and runs through October 11 — expect performances and events popping up all over the city. Plus, IMMA is hosting an "Art in Motion" community celebration this evening, and you're invited!

Lachie's advice? Get out there and soak up everything Dublin has to offer. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the forecast — it's the wake-up call you never knew you needed! 🎙️

**Episode: Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | 7:30 AM**

Rise and shine, Aideen! ☀️ Lachie Rocket is back with your personalized audio-caffeine-shot — self-deprecating humor included at no extra charge.

First, the weather: any early morning cloud grumpiness clears out fast, leaving Dublin dry and bright with genuine spells of sunshine. Temperatures land in the goldilocks zone at 17–18°C, with just a light breeze, low pollen, and low-to-moderate UV. In other words — the perfect day to get out and about.

And you'll want to, because the city is buzzing:

🎬 **IFI Documentary Festival** — Opening night this evening in Temple Bar

🎨 **"Do It Together"** — Free exhibition running at Pallas Projects

🎭 **Dublin Theatre Festival** — Kicks off tomorrow, turning the whole city into one giant stage

Lachie wraps up with your marching orders: enjoy the sunshine, soak up Dublin's creative energy, and help make the art happen. Coffee-making, unfortunately, not included — you're on your own for that one.

**Episode: Tuesday, 22nd September 2026 | Weather & What's On in Dublin**

Rise and shine, Dublin! Lachie Rocket — your slightly under-caffeinated human alarm clock — is back to kick-start Aideen's Tuesday morning with his signature blend of humour and helpfulness.

The weather is playing hard to get today: a classic indecisive Dublin mix of sunny spells and cloud, with pleasant highs of 21–22°C — though a few uninvited showers may drift through this afternoon. Tonight turns cloudier with scattered showers and a band of rain and drizzle moving in towards morning, but hang in there: Wednesday clears up dry and sunny. And hay fever sufferers, rejoice — pollen levels are low!

On the culture front, the city is delivering in style. 'Do It Together' at Pallas Projects showcases emerging and experimental artists, while the Dublin Painting and Sketching Club celebrates its 148th annual exhibition. Tonight, Westlife take over the 3Arena — but Lachie's top pick is a soul-stirring traditional Irish music lineup at The Sugar Club, featuring Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Pauline Scanlon, Tom Morrow, and John Doyle. Plus, a look ahead to the IFI Documentary Festival, opening tomorrow.

So grab your umbrella (just in case) and join Lachie for another occasionally damp, culturally spectacular day in Dublin!
