With only days remaining before Ireland heads to the voting booth in the General Election on Friday February 26th, we have a look at the highlights (or perhaps more aptly put - the lowlights)of the last full week of campaigning. 

We talk about the latest opinion polls, protests, a Taoiseach putting both of his feet in it, campaign posters for the Minister with responsibility for Forestry being nailed to trees and two independent candidates releasing what can only be described as  "odd" election campaign songs.

Where are the current trends in radio and online audio leading? What might radio sound (and look) like on its 2022 centenary? Some leading figures of UK radio come together for a discussion on radio today and tomorrow: Ruth Barnes chairs a panel featuring Matt Deegan (Folder Media/Next Radio conference), Helen Boaden (Director of BBC Radio), Femi Adeyemi (NTS Radio) and journalist/broadcaster Miranda Sawyer. Produced by Rosina Sound & Allanah Chance for the British Library, 16 September 2016.
