Toys, Hygge & Proms in the Park

BBC Radio Ulster - Saturday with John Toal, Toys, Hygge & Proms in the Park

John Toal meets toy inventor Ciaran Larkin & violinists Vladimir & Anton playing Proms.

John Toal meets Belfast toy inventor Ciaran Larkin and there's music from violinists Vladimir & Anton Jablokov playing Proms in the Park. Plus John finds out about 'Hygge'.

There's music from violinists Vladimir & Anton Jablokov playing Proms in the Park, accompanied by pianist Adam Kuruc.

Belfast toy inventor Ciaran Larkin shares how he makes robots and super heroes for a living, in Rhode island USA – and is now working on top secret toys destined to hit the shop shelves for Christmas.

Denmark is often said to be the happiest country in the world, which could be thanks to the magic ingredient of 'Hygge’ - the art of cosiness. Meik Wiking, the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, tells John how toasted marshmallows by candlelight and taking pleasure in other people’s company, are all ways we can introduce more Hygge into our everyday lives.

Belfast cafe owner, Hygge enthusiast and transplant recipient Orla Smyth talks about Organ Donation Week (5th - 11th September).
And we speak to Belfast storyteller and TV game show contestant Eamonn Keenan on his experience of winning.
