Ireland & UK Broadcasters & Journalists - BBC & RTÉ Cuts Impact

I’ve spent more than 20 years working with broadcasters across Ireland and the UK. I've watched a single radio play change an artist's career. I've sat in studios with some of the finest broadcasters these islands have produced. And I've watched the industry change beyond recognition over the last decade, especially the last couple of years. And now, the BBC is cutting hundreds of jobs and closing broadcast services. RTÉ was promised €260 million for 2027 and has been allocated €240 million. Nobody has yet explained exactly what the Irish public stands to lose if that shortfall remains. Meanwhile, the BBC has just launched its 24-hour news channel on YouTube, and RTÉ is celebrating growing digital audiences. So if people are still watching and listening, why are we cutting back the very people who make the programmes? And who benefits when public broadcasters have fewer journalists asking difficult questions, fewer producers championing new artists and fewer resources to cover communities outside the major cities? There's a difference between holding the BBC and RTÉ accountable for their failures and allowing those failures to become the justification for stripping them of everything worth protecting. I've written about the money, the scandals, the political decisions and the people whose livelihoods are caught in the middle. I've also shared a few memories of Terry Wogan, Pat Kenny and Aidan Butler, and the days when radio could make a career almost overnight. Are the BBC and RTÉ being reformed, or are we watching public broadcasting being hollowed out in front of us? I'd especially like to hear from broadcasters, journalists, producers, freelancers, musicians and anyone who has worked inside these institutions. What are you seeing that the rest of us aren't?

Renters in Ireland - Rental Crisis Experiences

Looking to speak to people affected by Ireland's rental crisis for an investigation piece Hi everyone! I’m a journalist currently working on an investigation into Ireland’s “rental rat race” and the experiences of people trying to find and maintain a home in the current rental market. I’ve already spoken to tenants, landlords and homelessness charities, but I’d really like to hear from people who have experienced the rental market first-hand and feel they have a story to tell. I’d particularly love to hear from anyone who has: Struggled to secure a rental despite applying for numerous properties Experienced particularly difficult or unfair treatment from a landlord or letting agent Been asked to pay an extremely high rent for a property that was in poor condition Felt exploited by the rental market Had to leave a home or move repeatedly because of rising rents Ended up homeless or at risk of homelessness because they couldn’t secure or afford a rental Experienced anything else you feel highlights the reality of renting in Ireland today I’m very open to different experiences and perspectives, I’m interested in hearing the stories that don’t always get told. If you’d be comfortable speaking to me, please feel free tosend me a DMand we can have a chat about the investigation and take it from there. I’m happy to explain more about who I am and what the piece is for before you decide whether you’d like to participate. Thanks so much!

Irish Changemakers - Long-Form Personal Podcast

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I have an idea for a new podcast which I'm hoping to launch in 2027! I love interviewing people. Some of my favourite episodes over the years have simply been sitting down with someone interesting, giving the conversation time, and seeing where it goes. So I'd like to do more of that. The idea is simple: long-form conversations with interesting people who have made their mark in Ireland. People from business, sport, media, entertainment, public life or anything in between! I want to hear about the person behind the achievements. Where they came from. The decisions they made. The things that went right. The things that didn't. And the stories that don't normally make it into the short interviews. I'm planning to record the first batch of conversations over the coming months, before launching the show properly in 2027. So, I'm looking for guests. Who would you like to hear me sit down with for an hour? Or, even better, who do you know that I should talk to? Tag them below, send me a message, or make an introduction. I already have a few very interesting conversations lined up. More soon!

Parents of Under-18s in EU - EU KIDS Act Social Media Rules

I'm looking for parents of under-18s from an EU country to interview! 👋 The new EU KIDS Act and its regulations on children's social media use have sparked a lot of debate. I'm working on a story about it for Phoenix Weekly, a Chinese-language news magazine under Phoenix TV and I'd love to hear from parents who are willing to share their views. Whether you welcome the new rules, have doubts about them, or feel somewhere in between, all perspectives are welcome. I'm especially interested in how you handle social media at home and what influence of social media do you see in children . The interview can be a short call or written answers, whichever suits you best. If you'd like to take part, feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Thank you, and sharing this post with parents in your network would help a lot! 🙏 #EUKIDSAct #SocialMedia #Parenting #DigitalWellbeing #Journalism

Hotels & Brands UK & Ireland, Australia & US - Behind HighLife

THIS IS WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE. ✨ The glamour. The power. The passion. But what really excites me is what comes next. Behind The HighLife is a HighLife Asia original format built around one simple idea: The guest provides the world. Mark provides the journey. I step into the world of an interesting person, brand, business, hotel, destination or experience. No traditional interview. Instead, its a natural two-way conversation while experiencing their world — with personality, unexpected moments, challenges and plenty of entertainment along the way. And were already building an audience, with 25M+ video views across the HighLife Asia digital ecosystem since March 2025 and 250K+ views across the first three Behind The HighLife episodes. Now I want to take the format further — UK amp; Ireland, Australia, Canada and the USA, including New York and Los Angeles. And this is where I want the audience to get involved: WHERE SHOULD BEHIND THE HIGHLIFE GO NEXT? If you're a brand, hotel, destination, personality, business or experience with a world worth stepping into, Id love to hear from you. The idea is simple: turn strategy into entertainment, create experiences people actually want to watch, and take those stories to audiences around the world.

Irish Employees - Salary Conversations & Pay Rise Experiences

🤑 💰 💰 💲 Money... how good are you at talking about it? The next piece I’m writing for the Irish Examiner is all about how to have conversations about money at work – discussing salary, negotiating a pay rise, etc. Why are so many of us uncomfortable doing this? And are there any tips or insights that can help us have these conversations in a more productive yet professional way. I’d love to speak to people in Ireland about their approach to money at work. Perhaps you have a positive story (or a horror story) about how you went about asking for a pay rise. Or maybe there was a time you discovered you were paying paid more (or less) than a colleague doing a similar job and you’d like to share the practical and psychological repercussions of that discovery. I’m open to hearing everything money-related! Contact me at [email redacted] #journorequest 💰

Circadian Biologists in Northern Europe - Polar Light Health Impact

RESEARCH REQUEST | Seeking an expert in light and human biology in extreme northern climates Howdy y’all. I’m on the hunt for someone who has researched the effects of prolonged darkness and near-constant daylight on human biology, particularly in Northern Europe. The angle I’m exploring is what actually happens to human health in these environments. What trends or anomalies do we see when we simply live with these extreme natural conditions, versus when we intervene with specific lighting strategies? Ultimately, I want to understand what these places can teach us about what our biology really expects from light. If anyone knows someone working in this field, I’d love an introduction! Thank you! 🙏
