Friday night on the radio...

21st August 2009

There's a diverse range of subjects up for discussion on Seascapes this Friday (August 21st) – one being the ageless problem of fatigue amongst seafarers and ways to combat the exhaustion that results from long arduous hours at sea. And there's more...

Along with the usual general marine news and views, Tom MacSweeney and his team will look at:

• An unusual cruising experience

• The hookers gather in Kinvara

• An Irish angler is top of the world

• Arklow renews its museum

• Offshore island developments

The Seascapes book has been published by Mercier Press to mark 1,000 editions of the programme.

Seascapes, presented by RTE's Marine Correspondent Tom MacSweeney and produced by Marcus Connaughton, is broadcast at 10.30pm each Friday night and repeated at 5.02am on Monday mornings on RTE Radio 1. The programme is also available as a podcast and is broadcast twice a week on the digital station, RTE Choice, on Wednesday mornings at 7.30am and Saturday lunchtimes at 12.30pm.
