RTÉjr Podcast: Cloigíní na Nollag/ Bells of Christmas

Tá Santaí agus scéal nua ag teacht!!

Níl Oíche Nollag i bhfad uainn agus i gclos-scéal Cloigíní na Nollag (Bells of Christmas) do RTÉjr Radio, tá Gínie beagnach réidh. Agus tá plean cliste ag a cat, Bella. Lean iad i scéal ceolmhar bríomhar ag ceiliúradh Óiche Nollag.

Is é Cloigíní na Nollag an cheathrú clos-scéal sa tsraith de cheithre scéal codlata 'léigh le chéile' agus craolfar é ar RTÉjr Podcast ‘This is Christmas’ ANSEO.

Is í Tigerlily Keoghan an píobaire uilleann ar an taifead seo agus léiríonn Ciara Murphy Gínie arís. Soláthraíonn Jonathan Weatherill-Hunt dearadh fuaime, innealtóireacht agus eagarthóireacht.

I measc na comhoibrithe tionscadail eile tá sainchomhairleoir theanga Peig Busher O’Sullivan agus dearthóir grafaicí Sinéad Duffin.Tá an tsraith scríofa, stiúrtha agus léirithe ag Alison Ní Mháirtín.

Tá ábhar breise le híoslódáil ANSEO. Is é i gceist ná an téacs i nGaeilge, foghraíochta agus Béarla ionas gur féidir le tuismitheoirí agus caomhnóirí a bhfuil an Ghaeilge nua acu léamh in éineacht lena bpáistí (0-8 mbliana d’aois).

Tá an tsraith cruthaithe le tacaíocht ón gComhairle Ealaíon, an tÁras Náisiúnta Ceoldrámaíochta agus Heather Rose (Super Paua).
