On this episode, Mary talks about how Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Hungary has been accused of eroding democratic institutions and weakening the rule of law and how Hungary’s government is suppressing freedom of expression for artists and arts organisations and the rights of LGBTQI+ people. In this week’s ‘Ten We Admire’, listen to the story of Eva Gore-Booth (1870-1926), a poet, writer, trade unionist, feminist and campaigner for equality and social justice and hear two of her short poems read out. In this episode our interview is with Robert Bates, Managing Director of the International Dublin Gay Theatre festival. Robert is with us to talk about his work producing an annual festival and to share information on some of the exciting events taking place for this year's festival which runs from the 5 to 19 May 2025 and has been described as a celebration of love, diversity, and creativity.https://smashingtimes.ie/https://www.dublinsouthfm.ie/Recorded at Dublin South FM.
