Need Help Finding RTE Radio Show Interview

    Hi Gang,
    This is Melodi in the Midlands who admits to not listening to a lot of local radio (and only gets to watch TV over the net once in awhile). I need some help because I was interviewed for an RTE Radio show that was supposed to be on right before Halloween, I thought on RTE Radio one. The interview took place at Féile Draíochta (Dublin Pagan and Magic Festival) and was supposed to be on some sort of religiously themed show.

    I'm writing because they never got back to me with the time for the show, though they did say the festival would have about 15 minutes show time (the entire festival not just me, of course). Anyway, I can't remember the name of the show to save my life and I have looked all over RTE player and can't find anything that looks like it. I was interviewed by a women, but I didn't even get a chance to write down her name.

    Anyway, I'd really like to hear this program (or catch it in the Player archives while it is still up) so I'm writing in the hopes that someone here happens to catch it and can let me know (either post here or just pm me).

    Even if I ended up on the cutting room floor, I'd like to hear the piece on the festival (which was a lot of fun); I supposed with the elections it is also possible the entire show was canceled, but I'm hoping it wasn't and that I can find it in time to listen.

    Thanks everyone,
    Melodi in the Midlands

    Well, here are instructions on how you can get the RTE Radio Player: http://www.rte.ie/radio/how_listen.html

    RTE Radio 1 has an extensive index of programme types, as well as podcasts you can listen to: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/index.html

    I couldn't see a podcast about the festival but you might spot something I didn't.

    There's also a possibility that the show will be on Raidio Na Gaeltactha: http://www.rte.ie/rnag/index.html

    Here's a 'Missed A Show?' FAQ: http://www.rte.ie/radio/miss.html

    Failing all that, I would contact either Radio 1 or Radio Na Gaeltachta for more info: http://www.rte.ie/radio/contact.html

    Good luck.

    Thanks I did not know about "I missed the show" I will look into that, as I agree I can't find anything on the festival; they might have just decided to skip that show. I've had friends in "the industry" and that happens a lot, especially with human interests stories.

    Update looks like it will be on at 10pm tonight on RTE radio one: The God Spot

    This from facebook: The piece about Feile Draiochta will be broadcast at 10 PM tonight on the God Slot on RTE1!! Link to be posted shortly!! :)

    I have no idea if I'm in this or not (I might have ended up on the cutting room floor) but they interviewed a lot of people at the convention so should be fun!

    Thanks for everyone's help and no wonder I couldn't find this before, they obviously did decide to put it aside during all the election stuff and to broadcast it later when they needed an interesting topic.

    OK I'm not in it (the concentrated on people's spirituality questions which they didn't ask me much about, given the theme of the show this makes sense) but it is an excellent interview about 13 minutes into the half-hour show. Should be up for about a week, you can't download it but you can listen at the link.
