The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, sport, and diverse communities of Co. Cork. Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he criss-crosses Cork.

From boating down the River Lee, the beat of history in Baile Mhúirne, to infectious laughter in gleaming Baltimore, Vincent takes a measure of all that "the county of the rebels" has to offer.

"Cork – Corcaigh – is the biggest county in Ireland; and within its borders is a myriad of communities, stories, linked and sometimes conflicting histo-ries. Almost immeasurable in its scale – cultural, linguistic, geographic – and endlessly diverse, one can't but think of the old line about 'the real capital’ of Ireland in both city and county," says Vincent Woods.

The pianist, composer and conductor Cormac McCarthy unveils new music on The County Measure, inspired by his native county.

The author Sara Baume will also feature with an exclusive piece of writing on the programme. Sara's most recent book is Seven Steeples.

The County Measure is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
