Drums, Druids and Dazzling Magic

Disability Week, Solstice tales, magic, music and a fiery lamb feast!

Get ready for a jam-packed episode celebrating ability, endurance, ancient wisdom, and a touch of magic!

It’s Disability Awareness Week, and John visits the heart-warming Fermanagh Fun Farm, where adults with disabilities don caps and gowns at a joyful graduation ceremony.

Scottish rugby legend Kenny Logan chats about his epic 555-mile cycle across Ireland, raising funds and awareness for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

To honour the Summer Solstice, Julí Ní Mhaoileóin, the Dingle Druid, shares tales of fire, folklore, and ancient ritual.

Inspired by the stars, John hits the mat with a yoga instructor in studio, striking poses to align body and sky.

Eamon Carr, Horslips drummer turned writer, reflects on his new book Pure Gold—a collection of raw, insightful interviews from the late '80s with icons like Jack Charlton, Eartha Kitt, Shane MacGowan, and Malcolm McLaren.

Magic’s in the air as Joel M—magician, mentalist, and social media phenomenon—joins the show to share stories from restaurant gigs to a 20-million-strong following.

Belfast’s Tomaí Taylor brings the bodhrán beat to life with a studio lesson in this ancient Irish frame drum.

And finally, Paula’s cooking up a summer sensation: a grilled leg of lamb with smoky broad beans, finished with a fiery hit of zhoug—a Middle Eastern sauce packed with herbs and heat.
