Tomorrow is 'World Religion Day', a day for those of us who have faith to reflect and celebrate all the positive attributes religion has to offer. But with so much change happening in Ireland over the last number of years, are we still a religious society? What role does religion play now and is it on the wane? To discuss this Anton is joined by: - Simon Lewis, host of the ‘If I Were the Minister for Education Podcast’ and a primary school principal - Redemptorist Roman Catholic Priest, Tony Flannery and author ‘A Question of Conscience’. - Fr John Kenny, Parish priest of Partry and Tourmakeady, in Co Mayo.

Dr. Matthew Sadlier, Chairman of the Consultant Committee of the IMO has said that staff are experiencing what he calls “warzone-like conditions” that are not just the result of temporary Covid, flu, and respiratory illness and that it is likely some patients may have died due to avoidable delays. Dr. Sadlier joins Anton to discuss the issues involved.

On the 10th of January 2016, the world lost one of the most beloved and influential musical artists of the 20th century - David Bowie. All this week, as part of the annual Dublin Bowie Festival, artists have been showcasing the best of Bowie through events ranging from live music, classical ensembles, art exhibitions, to drag shows, and more. And so, Anton couldn’t let the occasion pass him by without talking about the great man himself with one of our own greats, Ian Dempsey.
