Brendan O'Connor

Fionnuala Jones, Podcaster and Presenter Donald Clarke, Chief film Correspondent for The Irish Times join Brendan to give some of their recommendations for what to watch on the big and small screen this week.

Joining Brendan to digest the Sunday papers are; Political Correspondent, Sarah McGuinness, Chief Economist with Deloitte Ireland, Kate English, Former Irish Ambassador to the UK and the EU, Bobby McDonagh, and Sunday Independent Columnist and Former Head of the Housing Agency, Conor Skehan.

In light of the cancellation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert on CBS in the US, Dave Hanratty, Host of the No Encore podcast, brings us through some of the most memorable American late night television shows, and the reasons why audiences just aren’t watching anymore.

Dr Sabina Brennan talks to Brendan about caring for her mother when she was diagnosed with dementia, and how it might help others in understanding loved ones with a diagnosis of a similar condition. She charts her experience in her new book, ‘Still Me: A neuroscientist's guide to caring for someone with dementia'.

Comedian Alison Spittle has a new show, ‘Big’, that she’s bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is based on her own weight loss journey using prescription injections. She explores her relationship with her body going back to childhood and how she navigates people’s reactions to her weight.
