This summer, tune in to RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta and BBC Radio Ulster for a compelling six-part radio series that weaves the vibrant tapestry of Irish women’s lives over the past six decades. “Saol na mBan” is not just a radio series; it’s a journey through time, a saga of transformation where the whispers of the past meet the echoes of the present.
Backed by Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund and presented by Ceara Ní Choinn, the series lays bare the circumstances into which each generation of women was born, the challenges they faced, and the dreams they dared to dream. It’s a tale of resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the women who were born and reared in urban and rural Ireland.
The series is a collaboration between RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta and BBC Radio Ulster, produced by Clean Slate TV. The series invites listeners to embark on a reminiscent odyssey. Each episode is a chronicle, a story of a generation, unravelling how the fabric of society and the essence of womanhood have undergone profound metamorphoses.
From the hearths of rural homesteads to the bustling streets of urban landscapes, “Saol na mBan” brings to life the narratives of ordinary women—those who’ve witnessed and shaped the shifting sands of economics, politics, and social freedoms. These are the voices that have often gone unheard, the stories that reflect the myriad attitudes and opportunities that have blossomed over time.
The first episode of the six-part series will air on Tuesday 2nd July 2024 on BBC Radio Ulster and every Tuesday evening at 7.30pm.
The series also airs on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta from 3rd July to 7th August 2024 every Wednesday at 13.30pm.
