Irish campaigner Vicky Phelan has been in the United States for a number of months now, receiving specialist and experimental treatment for cancer.

Vicky has revealed in recent weeks that her planned six month stay will likely be much longer, and it could be late this year before she'll be reunited with her family.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Vicky explained her reasons for keeping the longer stay private from both the public and some of her loved ones, and her dreams that she will be able to see her children in the coming months.

Vicky also spoke about her life in the US, from getting her vaccine to the incredible support she's receiving from Irish people both at home and abroad which she says has kept her going.

The brand new sitcom 'Frank of Ireland' landed on our screens over the weekend, and it's had telly fans divided. Written by and starring Brian and Domhnall Gleeson, it tells the story of 'Frank', a 32 year old Dubliner who hasn't managed to grow up yet.

In Maria's Telly, our Maria revealed that she was such a fan of the show that she binged it in one go! Listeners were divided calling it everything from 'hilariously funny and rude' to 'utter muck'.

On the 30th of June 2017, Ciara O'Malley's life changed forever. Having recently moved to Vancouver with her partner David, Ciara was planning on celebrating her birthday on the beach with friends.

Sadly, Ciara was given the news that David had been involved in a drowning accident in a lake near Calgary. It would be 10 months before David would be found.

Throughout the long search for David, Ciara found some incredible signs that helped her carry on. These signs have continued to support her as she deals with the grief of losing the love of her life.

Ciara, who has since discovered a love of wellness, spoke openly and honestly to Dermot and Dave about living with grief, how feeling has been key to healing and the incredible story of how a dragonfly gave her the strength to go on.

Among all the very colourful characters that are seen in the show, there is one man from Laois stuck right in the middle of the madness. Patrick Harding has been Alex Albon's performance coach for the last three years and has travelled to over a dozen countries with the 2020 Formula One Red Bull driver.
