Introduced by John Low

Produced by Conor O’Hagan

Conor meets Professor Donal O’Shea, Ireland’s leading medical specialist in obesity and gender services. Two very big but very different modern issues. He’s very frank about on the need for better understanding of obesity and on the harm done by zealous ‘activists’ on gender. He’s also the brother of rugby international player and coach Conor O’Shea, though that hasn’t proved enough to get him to support England.

Conor meets Frank McDonald, Journalist and former environment editor of the Irish Times. He’s an influential author and commentator on Irish architecture and Irish urban planning, especially on the development of Dublin. He has just left Temple Bar for a splendid new home in Blackrock and has lots to say on the city’s good and its bad (spoiler – he’s not a car fan!).

Welcome to the third episode from a new podcast series TRAVEL POD produced by Senior Times in association with Travel Department. Senior Times meets Hilda Smith a well known Blogger - Over the Hilda

Hilda give us her recommendations to some of the far off destinations we should all experience.

In this episode we feature South Africa USA , India & Vietnam

Hilda says , when you’ve spent 34 years teaching English to young people between 12 and 18, reared two daughters, and run a household (just to name a few things), there hasn’t been too much time – or even incentive – to record life and what it throws at you. Now that I’ve retired (early, six years ago), I still have the energy and motivation to keep the brain cells working with my ‘Over The Hilda’ blog in my carefree post-work life.

Just mastering a computer keyboard and uploading material to this site has been challenging, but I’m getting there! A wife, mother, friend and confidante, sports enthusiast, lover of fashion, food, wine, theatre, travel and reading, and definitely someone who enjoys life.

Like many, life has had its share of ups and downs. Surgery for a slipped disc put paid to my Hockey-playing days over 30 years ago, a gap that was filled by Tennis to a pretty competitive standard until recently when persistent back pain sadly put paid to that activity. Golf, though, has been my saviour, so I am learning how to play this most frustrating game while I have to admit to being totally addicted to Bridge (another activity to keep the mind active, don’t you know!)

Leitrim to Birmingham by Tony Downey. Episode 4: Godparents by Senior Times

Gary Cooke meets up with Billy Mc Grath to discuss his most interesting career.

Billy is taking his one man show to Galway & Limerick that will look back on his career. He sees it as the 3rd Act.

He tells Gary ... In the last 4 decades, I have been a son, a brother, a husband, a father, separated, a single dad with one son, a father again, a single dad with two sons, an orphan, a divorced man, a husband again and a father again, again, and again. But amongst the personal change, pain, and transformation, there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. I couldn’t have survived mine without comedy. Because without laughing your life may well become a tragedy.

The show's broad theme is the 3rd Act. What do we want to be when we grow up? We are all living 20/30 years longer. I'm not going to play soccer for Ireland or climb The Andes but I can write & perform. With a lot of laughs along the way.
