Conversion practice is legal in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. Conversion practices can take place in religious, medical or psychological services, in an attempt to convert members of the LGBTQ+ Community to heterosexuality or to align with their sex assigned at birth.

Where do we go from here?
This radio documentary seeks to uncover a DIY approach to staging live music in Dublin, and highlight an alternative to the apparent pay-to-play model of the Irish Music industry. In particular, the piece documents the function and operation of the DIY venue space, Daylight.
Through interviews with musicians, the organisers behind Daylight, members of its audience, and live recordings of bands, Where do we go from here? shines a light on the flaws of the current model of live performance for musicians seeking to present experimental music, and presents an alternative approach to staging live music.

The Hidden River Poddle
This audio documentary, hosted by Adam Zaidan, traces the River Poddle from its opening at Tymon Park in Tallaght to its hidden, underground course beneath the streets of Dublin, revealing how a small waterway shaped the city far more than people actually realise.
Through historical narration, insight from historian Aidan Hodson, county council member and civil engineer, David Grant and past resident, Maura Ní Chonaill, it uncovers the Poddle’s long reputation for flooding and repeated surges through Harold’s Cross and Kimmage in the late 20th century.
The story moves between past and present, from childhood recollections of Poddle Park, the mills the river once powered, the folklore of traditional Irish songs like Weile Waile and the modern engineering efforts to finally tame the river, which prevented flooding during Storm Sandra in January 2026.
The audio documentary follows the river to its end, emerging from darkness into the Liffey at Wellington Quay. The closing moments reveal a river that has always been small in scale but enormous in influence.
