Radio reviews: From death in Kerry to Dolly Parton in Dingle

'Cowboy Carter' by Beyoncé has divided opinion

Declan Lynch

Thanks to the old internet, you can listen to ­“local” stations many miles away, such as ­Radio Kerry and its ­Kerry Today programme presented by Jerry O’Sullivan. It is exemplary, especially if you prefer your current affairs coverage to have a southern accent.

But there is also an exemplary show just before Kerry Today, and that is the Death Notices (Radio Kerry, daily). They’re not hiding this away in a quiet place, it comes straight after ­Kerry’s Full Breakfast at about 9am. And it goes on for a fair while – though I suppose that is subject to change, depending on how many Kerry people go on living on any given day.
