Near FM – Listen Again

Shakespeare covered the seven stages of life better than most in a speech called The Seven Ages of Man in a play called As You Like It.  Shakespeare’s speech was all about boys and men, but our series is all about girls and women. Join us on our seven-week journey through the ages stopping off at all the stages from child to teenager, from mother to grandmother, from work to retirement, from multitasker to multi-talented, from social commentator to mould breaker, and everything in between. Starts on Friday Feb 2nd at 3.30pm

Episode 5 is all about retirement, empty nests, and grandchildren, with some nostalgic glances back at those early years. Listen to Carmel, Margaret Dwan, and Marian Gibbs share the wisdom of those who have come out the other side, with poetry by Mary Oyediran and Berni Dwan and song by Abimbola Olorire.

Series developed and produced by Berni Dwan. Audio production by Declan McGlade. Made with the support of the Coimisiún na Meán’s Sound and Vision scheme through the Television License Fee.
