Our Podcast

Jay McInerney in conversation with Nadine O'Regan
20 September 2016

Since Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney has been recognised as one of the great chroniclers of our times. His new novel, Bright, Precious Days paints a portrait of New York as Obama and Clinton battle for leadership and Lehman Brothers teeters on the brink of collapse. It’s the story of a generation that flew too close to the sun on wings of cocaine and whose lives changed irrevocably on 9/11. Nadine O’Regan is Books and Arts Editor - The Sunday Business Post

This podcast was recorded on the 8th September 2016 in dlr LexIcon Studio.

Southside Travellers Action Group ‘Days Long Gone’ trailer project
20 September 2016

Southside Travellers Action Group launched "Days Long Gone" Trailer Project in dlr Lexicon as part of Traveller Pride Week 2016.

Through the established Chill Out Zone Group in Southside Travellers, a handful of Traveller women came up with the idea to recreate a miniature replica trailer with the help of a local community arts facilitator. The group designed and built the trailer from scratch and have made and hand sewn all of the interior furnishings. 
‘Days Long Gone’ features recordings of Traveller women recalling days of old on the road and traditional nomadic ways of living. They speak of the freedom and peace; the harmony, solidarity and sense of plenty of those times. They also discuss the situation as it stands today, where there is little space or provision for a nomadic culture and how Travellers are being forced to move into settled housing. The women talk of the loss of freedom, the loneliness, the separation from friends and family and the impact of this loss and isolation on health, particularly mental health. They express their fears that Traveller culture is being wiped out and highlight the importance and challenges of passing on Traveller ways to the younger generations. 

The group want ‘Days Long Gone’ to be a celebration of Traveller ways, to create a space for Travellers to reflect and remember days on the road and to create an opportunity for the settled community to learn and understand the importance of travelling for Travellers and their culture. 

Southside Travellers Action Group works to respond to the needs of the Traveller community in the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown area and for the civil and human rights and distinct cultural identity of all Travellers.

Eimear McBride in conversation with Sinead Gleeson, dlr LexIcon Studio
19 September 2016

Her debut novel A Girl is a Half-formed Thing took nine years to publish and earned Eimear McBride massive critical acclaim and a cornucopia of literary prizes including the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction, the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year, the Goldsmiths Prize, the Desmond Elliot Prize and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.

The Lesser Bohemians is her eagerly-anticipated second novel and it’s a story of first love and redemption. One night in London an eighteen year old girl, recently arrived from Ireland to study drama, meets an older actor and a tumultuous relationship ensues. Set across the bedsits and squats of mid-nineties north London, The Lesser Bohemians is a story about love and innocence, joy and discovery, and the grip of the past.

Christopher Fitz-Simon on Orson Welles and the Gate Theatre
18 December 2015

While researching material for his iconic biography The Boys (1994), author and playwright Christopher Fitz-Simon found startling and hilarious correspondence between Hilton Edwards, Micheál MacLiammóir and Orson Welles. It spanned thirty years  - too much to fit into the book but it formed the basis of this talk. Fitz-Simon, in addition to numerous other international appointments, was drama producer with RTÉ and literary manager and artistic director of the Abbey and Peacock theatres.

This podcast was recorded in the Studio, dlr LexIcon on 1 December 2015.
