How To Gael

Rialtóirí aerthráchta, nó air traffic controllers - not many of us could explain what they do, ach bheimis i bponc ceart gan iad. We're joined sa stiúideo by Nicóla Ní Riada from AirNav Ireland agus í ag insint dúinn faoin day-to-day agus faoin traenáil le bheith i do rialtóir aerthráchta. Coinnigh súil ar ár socials le roinnt snippets a fheiceáil ón gcuairt a thug Doireann agus Síomha ar an bhfoi...

Idir bheith ar chamchuairt lena sheó fuirseoireachta, ag foghlaim na Gaeilge and cleaning his helix piercing, Vittorio Angelone is a busy man, ach táimid delighted go raibh an t-am aige bualadh isteach chuig stiúideo HTG (arís!) le labhairt linn le déanaí. We chat about his approach towards tricky topics in his shows, his background in music, and why he doesn't get nudes in his DMs. Agus gan amhra...

Tá an samhradh beagnach linn agus chun an Bealtaine a cheiliúradh, táimid ag teacht chugaibh ó Ghaeltacht Mhúscraí, amuigh faoin spéir retracing the steps of Naomh Gobnait! Doireann takes us on a journey tríd scéalta Ghobnait and gives us a song ón gceantar to top it all off, agus pléimid na rudaí atá ag teastáil uainn an samhradh seo - we can't seem to make our minds up on whether we're simmering...

Unionists, Republicans, Catholics, Protestants.. what does it all really mean? Historian and Belfast man Andrew Clarke AKA @Tanistry sits down with us this week to tell us about his experience growing up in Belfast. Traditionally from a unionist background Andrew tells us how learning more about Irish history forced him to change his views. You can follow all of his work on instagram here on his i...

Táimid ar an mbóthar arís agus ag taifeadadh sa Montenotte i gCorcaigh an uair seo, absolutely loving life! Spreagtha ag a bhfuil thart orainn, táimid ag caint faoi Chorcaigh - the Cork attitude, piseoga UCC, agus na Rebels is fearr linn. Also, get excited for our future camchuairt ar aibhneacha na hÉireann, because apparently we're making that happen. Bí i dteagmháil linn leis na rudaí is fearr l...

Armagh man and GAA president Jarlath Burns is ea aoi na seachtaine seo ar an bpodchraoladh. What role does culture and GAA play in reconciliation? How can we bridge the gaps in our societies with sport and what does it mean to be an Ulster man? Na ceisteanna seo agus tuilleadh á phlé ag Uachtarán an CLG. In October 2025, BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of I...

Doireann is outnumbered by Louises an tseachtain seo agus an t-údar Louise O'Neill sa stiúideo linn! Insíonn sí dúinn faoina leabhar nua, 'Whatever Happened to Madeline Stone?', agus chuala tú anseo é, this will be your beach read this summer. We talk about ambition, therapy, machnamh, creativity, agus neart eile. Honestly, táimid faoi gheasa aici. Please be aware that this episode contains refere...

Ceist na Gaeilge agus ceist an chultúir in Éire Aontaithe atá faoi chaibidil an tseachtain seo.

This podcast contains a paid promotion with Three Ireland. Eip speisialta an tseachtain seo a chairde... Le cuidiú Three Ireland, táimid ag teacht chugaibh from a listener's house! Míle MÍLE buíochas le Kevin & his housemates for having us (and God help the neighbours).

There is probably no one better than Belfast man, Sam McBride to discuss the possibility of unification. His recent book, For and Against a United Ireland was one of the big influences on this series. He is the Northern Ireland Editor of the Belfast Telegraph and the Sunday Independent newspapers. He also writes on Northern Ireland for The Economist. He is a former Political Editor of the Belfast...

The clocks have gone forward agus tá an ghrian sna tráthnónaí dár spreagadh bheith níos outdoorsy. Get the hiking boots on, the tent pitched & the toilet paper on standby - san eip táimid ag caint faoi bheith amuigh ag spaisteoireacht agus ag campáil. We share some camping disasters a d'inis ár n-éisteoirí dúinn (ná bí ag caitheamh aníos i bpuball a bhfuil cúigear eile ann!) agus na háiteanna is f...

The first question on everyones lips when we talk about a United Ireland is money. How much will it cost us and how will we pay for it? To give us an overview of what the economics of unity might look like we sit down with Stephen Kinsella Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick and member of the Irish Government's AI Advisory Council and an Economic Advisor to the Tánaiste, Simon Har...

An ndeachaigh tú i dteagmháil le agony aunt nó uncle riamh? Don eip seo, d'iarramar ar ár n-éisteoirí a dilemmas pearsanta a sheoladh chugainn, so that we can try our hand at being agony aunts.

We will, however, ta...

In the first episode of our new series, we’re sitting down with Taoiseach na hÉireann Micheál Martin to talk all things shared island, modern republicanism and asking if unity is realistic or romantic? In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one...

An history nerd thú? Sin ceist na seachtaine as Doireann quizzes Louise le fáil amach an bhfuil sí chomh tógtha leis an stair léi féin. Cén duine sa stair a mbeifeá ag iarraidh bualadh leis le haghaidh coffee date? Did you have a historical obsession as a child, or do you still? An dtéann tú go hiarsmalann agus tú ar saoire? Seo iad na ceisteanna a bhfuil ar na history nerds smaoineamh orthu – let...

Spreagtha ag Verona Farrell, nó @secondhandhuns ar Insta, tá Louise ag iarraidh all things chic a phlé. Ach cad is 'chic' ann? An féidir cur síos a dhéanamh air? Tá díospóireacht againn faoi na rudaí atá chic agus not chic, dar linne, ar nós matching underwear (chic), espresso martinis (not chic BUT delish), and a red lip (hung jury). Doireann gets an awful touch for her wine fridge, argues for th...

What goes into asking someone on a date? Cad iad na bealaí is fearr agus is measa ar féidir é a dhéanamh? Conas a mhothaímid faoin dreaded ceist, "So, what are we?" An tseachtain seo táimid ag caint faoi asking someone on a date, ag teacht chugaibh ón City of Love tar éis dúinn tús a chur lenár gcamchuairt nua i bPáras! Agus is oth linn a rá, but we're not above a touristy beret... HOW TO GAEL: LE...

Prepare for sweeping generalisations, questionable accents agus neart F-bombs sa séipéal... San eip seo, táimid ag labhairt faoi mhuintir na Fraince agus na nósanna atá acu. Tá an bheirt againn i bPáras and after being shushed in cafés & given the tourist-tier blowdries, táimid buartha gur Emilys in Paris muid. Mar sin, we're trying our best to educate ourselves on all things chic, stylish & Frenc...

In a total U-turn ó eip na seachtaine seo caite, táimid ag caint faoi Lent san eagrán seo! Beidh tús á chur leis an gCarghas (nó 40 Hard) amárach, agus táimid ag iarraidh é a phlé - cad iad na cúiseanna a mbíonn daoine á dhéanamh, cad iad na pleananna atá ag ár n-éisteoirí lena aghaidh, agus an rud maith é an struchtúr a thugann an Carghas dúinn, fiú muna bhfuil tú religious? Agus cinnte, tugaimid...

Louise has had a revelation fúithi féin post-Bad Bunny Bowl agus tá sí ag iarraidh kink a phlé mar thoradh - ach cad is kink ann? Ó ghrianghraif AI de Jacob Elordi in nylon stockings go litreacha salacha James Joyce, déanaimid ár ndícheall an kink landscape a thuiscint. Call it a deep dive, call it a journey of self-discovery... Either way, foghlaimímid go tapaigh go bhfuilimid thar a bheith vanil...

A warrior-hurler who's irresistible to women... What's not to love? San eagrán seo we're taking it way back to the Fenian Cycle le plé a dhéanamh ar Dhiarmuid Ua Duibhne, one of the great legendary figures ó mhiotaseolaíocht na hÉireann. Tá scéal bailithe ag Doireann faoi Dhiarmuid ó Thomás Ó Lúing agus tá sé sin á roinnt aici le linn na heipeasóide seo - Gaeilge bhreá shaibhir le cloisteáil anseo...

Her portfolio includes Hozier and Arcade Fire but we know that photographing us in the Cobblestone toilets was the REAL highlight of her career... San eip seo táimid ag caint leis an ngrianghrafadóir Ruth Medjber! Insíonn Ruth dúinn faoina tionscadal nua, 'Sin Scéal Eile', sraith ina bhfuil sí ag dul timpeall na tíre ag glacadh pic de dhuine nua gach lá agus ag fiosrú cad iad na scéalta atá acu. L...

Tá súile Louise oscailte théis dul go dtí an phictiúrlann le déanaí – is cinema-goer anois í, fad is go bhfuil gloine fíona ina lámh aici. San eip seo, pléimid an scannán nua Saipan agus cinema etiquette (Síomha Ní Rialacha is out in force here), and debate whether the pictiúrlann can still be a date spot agus tú mar dhuine fásta. Ach sula gcuirimid tús leis sin ar fad, labhraímid faoin tsraith a...

Táimid ar ais i ndiaidh na Nollag agus tá an lá mór ag druidim linn - beidh babaí Shíomha ag teacht go luath! Ach an bhfuil go leor ar eolas againn faoin toircheas, faoin mbreith, nó faoin máithreachas? San eip seo, insíonn an file Siobhán de Paor dúinn faoina taithí féin leo agus faoin spioradáltacht a bhaineann leis an eispéireas ar fad. Taobh amuigh de sin, cloiseann muid faoin Dry (Damp?) Janu...
