Playback

Highlights from the week just gone, with Brian Lally

This week on Playback. With rising Covid numbers and more unvaccinated people in hospital – we mask up and ask just what is going on. Berries lustrous black and shining scarlet - how birds see colours better than us humans. And we remember a giant of traditional music - Paddy Moloney. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. Algorithms and scrolling – we peek behind the Facebook curtain. Do women feel the cold differently from men? We fiddle with the thermostat. A glass of bubbles and teeny tiny salt shakers – Aisling gets an upgrade. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. A Bank Holiday for all – hurrah - but when? We hear the contenders. We celebrate a roundy birthday with the oldest rocks in Ireland. And don’t you dare call me a whale - I’m just a big boned dolphin. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. Middle-aged, middle income, single and homeless. Liveline opens the faders. Claire talks bed sheets and the theory of relativity. And lessons in love from a cat named Delia Murphy. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. Invitation declined. We hear the debate around the President’s decision. Ray D’Arcy is intent on getting back to nature. And blame it all on his roots, Garth Brooks is back – maybe. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. The government announce the easing of Covid restrictions, the big Housing for All plan revealed so why, oh why, won’t that appointment just go away? Also, Joe on trolley shoppers, Cormac pinging on Whats app and the D’Arcy hits the dance floor. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. Suicide bombers at Kabul airport and where to now for the 39 million people living in Afghanistan. Listen up sheeple, the mainstream media is telling you lies – we unpick the nasty truth behind the rhetoric of conspiracy theorists. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.

This week on Playback. We track the grim developments in Afghanistan. Creaking leather and whirring helicopters – we explore sound in cinema. And Liveline gets a sermon on the mark of the beast. All on Playback presented by Sinéad Mooney.
