Different Voices
The Different Voices documentary series on Newstalk 106-108 fm returns to the airwaves with a new strand of documentaries. The series examines the issues shaping our nation while shining a light into sections of our society living in the shadows of this new Ireland. It will also explore a compelling range of stories from an Irish–American boxer to a cross-dresser, from a celebration of madness to getting down and dirty with environmental protestors. The documentaries have been funded by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland, and Irish Aid, through the Simon Cumbers Media Challenge Fund.
