This week we return to our Cuppa Culture format due to the level 5 restrictions across the country.

I was delighted to chat with writer Fran O'Brien, part of the team that has brought this series of Spooky radio plays to the Source Arts Centre in Thurles this Hallowe'en. We are delighted to host this work in our podcast space and look forward to hearing more from them.
