‘Christy Dignam’s Crazy World’ – Aslan front man host two hours of the most inane videos from the internet. Cats, Farting Dogs, Lana Del Ray (James M Chimney)

‘Sell Your Granny’ – Have you got it in you? Jackie Lavin hosts (Dougdawg).

‘My Left Footloose’ – Cerebral Palsy sufferers get to judge the dancing prowess of Ireland’s literary elite (Cionn)

‘Lady Gaa Gaa’ – A six part ground-breaking documentary series exploring the sometimes secret, sometimes violent, sometimes heartbreaking world of ladies inter-county camogie (James M Chimney)
