  • "Public Evil"
    Feb 28 2026

    Norman Hamilton is known for his efforts to help broker peace during the Holy Cross dispute in Belfast of 25 years ago. Anyone aged over 40 will remember the images which flew around the world - as the police and army escorted young children to and from their primary school, in the midst of an adult dispute over interfaces, and claim and counter-claim of sectarian abuse. Now a retired Presbyterian Minister, Norman tells Diane and Will that for those few months of his life, Holy Cross, confronted him with "public evil, on a grand scale".

  • Saying Yes to Possibility
    Jan 24 2026

    Joe McKeown's life could have been very different. He grew up in West Belfast during the Troubles, and saw plenty of conflict, for a time joining in with the recreational stone-throwing when the army or RUC were there. Later he learned that his grandfather - a demonstrably innocent man - had initially been branded as an IRA gunman after being shot and killed by a teenaged soldier. To one side, a justifiable casualty, to the other, a murder victim. Yet Joe chose not revenge, but peace and reconciliation, rooted in his Christian faith. Joe now runs the youth service Youthlink - and he tells Diane and Will how his decision was simply "saying 'Yes' to possibility".

  • Ministering at the Margins
    Dec 20 2025

    Ruth Garvey-Williams lives and works in the small Donegal town of Buncrana. Yet despite living in what's often dubbed "Ireland's forgotten county", she and her family make a huge impact across the island and beyond. Ruth helped found their church, edits a magazine, and serves with local and national groups tackling suicide, poverty, and immigration issues. She works as leader, journalist, author, playwright and researcher. And still she found time to join Diane and Will for a fascinating discussion on the joys - and the cost - of "ministering at the margins".
