Achieving Contentment, Dublin Is Tallaght and Lazy Actors

We go missing a week and we give you over an hours worth of bleeding poetry!We did go on a bit today, but crammed into the corners of our nonsense waffle are poems that will bring us all down to earth a little and focus on what is bloody important in our lives! Thank f*** for poetry!Kate Ireland's spoken word masterclass on sitting with her Granny kicks off the show this week. Be warned: you will get shivers.Leon had been at the helm of the Dublin Is Tallaght event this week at the Civic Theatre, so as a treat for anyone who wasn't able to make it, we have recording from two of the performers from the night: Jan Brierton and Sheila RyderDublin City Libraries, in collaboration with The Stinging Fly, have published a book dedicated to the city of Dublin. We share an essay from the collection from FELISPEAKS called 'Dublin: A Poet's View'. Brilliant stuff.We also have a giggle with Jonathan Roth, a helping hand from Tania Winther and our agony aunt is all about someone who wrote a play and can't get the actors to turn up on time for rehersal!Enjoy ladsRyan and LeonPoems from the showKate Ireland - My Gran Is A Revolutionaryhttps://www.instagram.com/kate.ireland__Jonathan Roth - The Doc Yellow Cardhttps://www.jonathanrothpublications.com/Sheila Ryder - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night (rewrite)https://sheilaryder.com/Felispeaks - Dublin, A Poet's Viewhttps://www.instagram.com/felispeaksJan Brierton - Being Irishhttps://www.newisland.ie/jan-briertonTania Winther - Pushing Against Airhttps://atelierwinther.no/Agony Aunt - Act 1Music was Punch Drunk by Barbagiannihttps://www.instagram.com/barbagiannimusic/Support the showOriginal music by Matthew Keating Artwork by Paddy DowneyIntroduction by Lisa DowneyProduced by Ryan Duggins
