DAYBREAK WITH EVONNE FERGUSON

Evonne will be up with the early birds to ease you into the weekend with her gentle blend of music from across the centuries, plus regular intervals for news and weather, and at 9.20 we explore the lesser-known realms of nature on our island in Nature File with ecologist, Anja Murray.

Nature File Episode 17 - Lizards

Across the world there are many types of lizard, but one species made it to Ireland, and here they manage to live discreetly, going largely unnoticed by us. Lizards are a lesser known member of the Irish fauna, which Nature File this week will examine how they can let go of their tails in times of trouble.

THE LYRIC FEATURE

Morning, Noon and Night - Revisited is a three-part lyrical guide to our sleeping and waking hours. In this follow up to his 2019 series Presenter Regan Hutchins meditates on the intimacy of our daily routine and hears how recent disruptions to our mornings, noons and nights have changed the way we live our lives. The listener is invited to reflect on the everyday through a series of sonic illuminations, original writing, music, found sound and slow radio.

Episode 3: Night

Peering into peoples' windows, an evening walk in the park, solo camping by a bog and writing music for the moon are some of the ways we spent the nights in this programme of short documentaries, original writing, music, found sound and slow radio.

Regan Hutchins travels from dusk to the dawn chorus as he spends the night alone and with friends.
