Davis Now Lectures – RTÉ

by

Presenting new or previously broadcast commissioned lectures on timely subjects from Ireland’s finest scholars, thinkers and artists. The inspiration for the podcast is the iconic RTÉ THOMAS DAVIS lectures which for over half a century since 1953 featured newly written radio talks on a host of subjects. In ‘Kate O’Brien: Legend in Her Own Time’ activist and feminist Smyth covers themes and characters in O’Brien’s books – including their bid to be free of conventions and how men are incidental from the 1997 ‘Kate O’Brien: The Woman and the Writer’ birth-centenary series.
