January 2022

Welcome to Nervous State's first show of 2022.

Patrick McCusker will be talking to Dr. Harun Šiljak, lecturer in Electrical Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, about his recent article “Opening This Article Voids Warranty”, and just why the right to repair is about so much more than having to replace your phone every time you drop it.

2022 marks the centenary of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and the subsequent Irish Civil War. However, far too many people’s knowledge of the Civil War consists of a vague idea of a Collins - De Valera rivalry derived from the film Michael Collins, that the Four Courts were burned and that it’s the basis for the Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael rivalry. Chris Beausang got in touch with Dr Ferghal Mac Bloscaidh, Senior Lecturer in History at St. Mary’s University College Belfast and the author of a number of important books, including Tyrone: the Irish Revolution, 1912-1923 and Dr Kerron Ó Luain, Irish Research Council Fellow at DCU.
