For this week’s Ask Me Anything, Stunt Coordinator with Total Stunts Joe Condren joins guest host Anna Daly to answer any of your stunt-related questions!

Today is World Television Day, a chance to celebrate the shows, characters and moments that have shaped our lives. From comfort-watch favourites to the series that changed how we see the world, TV continues to influence culture in powerful ways. So what makes a show truly unforgettable, and why does television still matter in the streaming age?

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss the shows that shaped them is Newstalk’s Ellen Kenny and TV and Movie Critic, Brian Llyod.

Gender reveal celebrations have become more popular than ever. Whether it’s cutting into a cake or popping a balloon, everyone waits for that exciting moment to see pink or blue. But, what happens when the color revealed isn’t the one someone was hoping for?

And is it okay to feel disappointed to not have the gender you hoped for?

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Clinical and Health Psychologist, Dr Bronagh Fitzpatrick, Columnist with the Irish Independent, Tanya Sweeney, Editor of Cork Beo, Joe O’Shea and Lisa O’Sullivan Shaw (@modernirishmom on Instagram).

A Chinese start-up has claimed to have developed a pill in the lab that could potentially extend human life to 150 years.

This begs the question, even if we could, would you like to live to 150 years of age?

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Terry Prone, Columnist with The Irish Examiner and Chairman of the Communications Clinic and Liam Collins, Columnist with The Irish Independent.

From €80 t-shirts to a record wool map of Ireland, Alex Rowley from the Newstalk Newsroom joins guest host Anna Daly with stories from around the country that you might have missed this week…

Fingal County Council has approved plans to introduce paid parking at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, despite growing local protests. The new system, proposed by the centre’s owners, aims to improve traffic flow, but residents, workers and public representatives say it will place extra costs on staff and undermine what has long been a key community space in Dublin 15.

So, is parking getting too expensive? And have you ever decided not to go somewhere simply because the parking charges put you off?

Guest host Anna Daly is joined by listeners to discuss.

Anna’s guest has launched a petition calling for a once-off national holiday on March 27th, 2026: the day after Ireland’s World Cup playoff semi-final. The aim is to give the whole country the chance to come together and support the team during what could be a rare and historic moment for Irish football…

If Ireland reaches the final, the petition also calls for March 31st and April 1st to be declared once-off holidays too. Supporters are encouraged to sign - and remember to verify their signature so it counts.

Many people living with conditions such as IBS and Crohn’s disease can be left in distressing situations when they suddenly need to use the toilet. For them, this isn’t a matter of convenience - it’s a medical necessity.

Yet, many bars and restaurants restrict toilet access to paying customers. So, what does that mean for those living with long-term digestive conditions, and how can society better support them?

Anna Daly’s guest is calling for the introduction of a ‘bowel card’ - giving people immediate access to toilet facilities when they need it most, helping to remove anxiety, uncertainty and embarrassment.

Maria Crowe joins to discuss, as well as Mark Wall, Labour Party TD for Kildare South and Emily Larkin, Founder of Invisible Disability Ireland.

Gen Z are accused of many things: that they’re chronically online, surgically attached to their phones, avoidant of eye contact and allergic to small talk.

They are, we’re told, the loneliest generation, and supposedly the one least able to hold a conversation with a stranger…

So, it may come as a surprise to learn that they, not the extroverted, freewheeling generations before them, are the ones bringing back communal dining!

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss this is Leslie Shoemaker, Psychologist and Lecturer in TU Dublin and Gráinne O’Higgins & Dearbhaile Gaffney, organisers of Mingle Meets Supper Club.

We’ve decided to do a deep dive on some of our favourite albums to explore the stories behind them.

What did the artists really think of each other? Where did the inspirations from the songs come from?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Head Tour Guide at the Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience, Alan Buckley, who’s going to talk through Amy Winehouse’s album ‘Back to Black’!
