A Kist o Wurds presented by Helen Mark celebrates all things Ulster-Scots.  This week, Helen Mark is getting ready for the live broadcast of the Twelfth of July on TV, and so is historian David Hume, who tells Helen how he prepares his commentary on the lodges and bands on parade. John Watt is at Ballylough, north Antrim, at the Battle of the Boar, an event that mixes together history, re-enactments and community, and Wilson Burgess has a new poem for this time of year.
