John is joined by the wonderful Cara Dillon who’s the amongst the headliners at this summer’s Stendhal festival, which will be something of a homecoming. Davide of Velocheese is an Italian cheese maker and former engineer – John joined him on his delivery rounds during the week. There’s more Italian fun with Venetian Federica Ferrieri’s Italian themed quiz while John chats hurling with a legend of the game – who happens to be from Ramadi in Iraq. Joining the show live is Kevin Curran – his new book is based in Balbriggan – and reflects how it’s now the most diverse area of this island. Sophie Dingwall has won the Brian Black Memorial for marine environmental journalism – she’ll chat alongside Brian’s daughter Sarah. Meanwhile chef Paula McIntyre is making grilled lamb steaks with cumin and brown sugar rub alongside blackbean salad and chimichurri sauce.
