Ireland5 years ago - beautiful radio at its best
A truly engaging, at times quirky, always intelligent yet accessible gate to broadening one’s horizon in culture and arts. Must surely be one of the best quality shows on Irish Radio and easily takes the crown in the field of the arts.
Apple Podcasts5formerlyknownasirishIreland12 years ago - Thanks
For all the reviews…good and bad.
Apple Podcasts5LukeclancyIreland12 years ago - RTE's Culture File
Anyone interested in the arts, should subscribe to RTE's Culture File. It's a fantastic podcast that's not too hung up on all the mainstream cinema releases and book launches. While most other arts shows are interchangeable, this one has a character of it's own. The presenter (who's amazing by the way) uncovers all sorts of unusual events and happenings on the Irish arts scene. And yet, there's always an international angle so really anyone from anywhere can enjoy it. Thanks for this iTunes.... more
