As Eurovision approaches, we imagine Eurovision 2989 style – The Galaxy Dance is an animation set amidst a Eurovision contest of the future. Its Shakespeare’s 460th birthday this week – we find out what he had to say about the Irish with Shakespeare expert Dr Edel Semple. One time script writer of comedy classic Not The Nine O’Clock News Richard Spark chats to Steven about his new fantasy novel New Rock New Role inspired by his love of gaming. Also, what is cloud seeding, how does it work and can we improve our Northern Irish weather? Dr Edward Gryspeerdt explains all. Steven is also joined by panellists Sal Hanvey and Tony MacCauley, plus we hear the latest from the back pages with sports journalist Conan Doherty.
