  • Hello Spaceboy
    Oct 11 2024
    25 years ago David Bowie became the first major artist to release an album as a download. Around the same time, one of Bowie’s super fans, Irishman Dara O’Kearney, began to receive emails from a mysterious figure who simply signed off his communications as DB. Could this have been David Bowie himself? Could one of the most famous rockstars on the planet have been secretly communicating with one of his fans? We set out to find the truth about this bizarre story and prove what really happened. Narrated by David Coughlan. Produced by David Coughlan and Tim Desmond. (2024)

  • First Consignment: 02 – Attack
    Oct 4 2024
    (Ep2/2). With Gadaffi’s first shipment of weapons to the IRA now landed at Shannon airport and dispersed around to hiding places, in this second and final part of this documentary series, we hear how the IRA trained on these weapons. We then travel north, to Northern Ireland where on Tuesday, November 28th 1972, the IRA carried out ten rocket attacks injuring, maiming and killing. As we complete this story, we meet with the son of the first victim to be killed by these rockets, RUC Constable Robert Keys, a 55yr old father of six who was just finishing up his night shift at Belleek RUC station in Co. Fermanagh. Narrated by Liam O’Brien and Conor Keane. Produced by Liam O’Brien. Readings were by David Nelligan and Joe Garry – with special thanks to Colin Barker, production engineer in RTÉ Limerick. (2024)

  • First Consignment: 01 – Airlift
    Sep 28 2024
    (Ep1/2) In the summer of 1972, Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi made an approach to the Provisional IRA with an offer of weapons. This was to become the first modern weaponry the IRA got access to. The first shipment of arms landed in Ireland in late 1972, a shipment that few, even to this day, are aware of. More than fifty years after all of this took place we finally tell a story that has never been told before. In this first part of a two part documentary, we follow these weapons from their point of manufacture in Russia, through to their arrival on Irish soil. (Part 1 of 2) Narrated by Liam O’Brien and Conor Keane. Produced by Liam O’Brien. Readings were by David Nelligan and Joe Garry – with special thanks to Colin Barker, production engineer in RTÉ Limerick. (2024)
