Lahinch is a small town in west Clare that had little or nothing to differentiate itself throughout most of the 20th century. But in the last twenty years it has become a haven for surfers from around the world.

 

Film-maker Ross Whitaker (who made the brilliant When Ali Came To Ireland documentary) spent a year in Lahinch, the result of which is his new movie Between Land And Sea… and he joins us in studio.

Murph’s Country Pages is back again – with cardboard cutout Gardai, stolen Tang signs and Brexit.

Our resident surfer Simon talks us through his midlife crisis, Ken talks us through his Point Break shame, plus there’s an Ian Wright update and we have a chat about the aesthetics of WWIII.
