Where is Jón? - 02. Jón Bóndi

When Jón left the Bonnington hotel, his partner Jana didn’t initially think too much about him walking away. But, as that day moved on, she began to get worried.

Where is Jón? - 04. Narrowing the Focus

As the first weeks turned into the first months since Jón’s disappearance, his family struggle to come to terms with what’s going on. There were only four possibilities to explain Jón’s disappearance - he took his own life, he was involved in an accident, someone killed him or he intentionally vanished. As we begin to examine each possibility, things start to become a little clearer… Credits: Where is Jón? / Hvar er Jón? is written, reported and produced by Liam O’Brien and Anna Marsibil Clausen.

Bob Marley In The Park

The only gig that Bob Marley and the Wailers ever played in Ireland turned out to be Bob’s last ever outdoor show, before he tragically died of cancer just 10 months later. The concert took place at Dalymount Park in Dublin on the 6th of July 1980, a day that lives long in the memories and stories of so many people who were caught up in the vibe on that day. Very few people knew how unwell Bob was when he played the gig. This is the story of that gig from some of those who organised and attended it, many of whom said it changed them forever...

Harwood, Johanna Harwood

Irish woman Johanna Harwood is not widely-known, but she should be. She wrote the screenplays for the James Bond movies 'Dr. No' and 'From Russia With Love' including coming up with the "Goya Joke" - one of the most famous visual jokes in the whole series. Not long after, she gave it all up to go and live in Paris with a French film director, René Clémont. Not a straightforward relationship because he was already married and stayed married until his wife, Bella's death. Now in her 90s (refusing to reveal her exact age) and living in Monaco, Johanna looks back on a life almost as colourful and exciting as any Bond script! "Harwood, Johanna Harwood" is narrated by Shauna McGreevy. Produced by Shauna McGreevy & Ronan Kelly (2024)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
