    Sailing For Home - ready by Theo Dorgan 

    What happens when four people, three old sea hands and a novice (the author) cross the Atlantic aboard a 70-foot schooner? Sailing For Home captures the realities of a trans-Atlantic passage, the importance of innumerable small rituals, the challenge of cooking in rough seas, the unspoken understandings that develop between crew members but he also attends to the numinous possibilities of life at sea: the rare vividness of dreams, visits from the ghosts of dead friends.

    Under - read by Aisling Kearns

    It’s so peaceful down here. I’m not going back. Escaping the minutia of other people’s ordinary lives, like driving alone to be by yourself, I enjoy slipping below the surface from it all, looking back, from my coma. I remember, how it really was. How the truth would be so shocking. A recount of family, life, domestic violence and shame.

    The Way Up To Heaven - read by Ned Dennehy

    Mrs Foster is someone who feels much calmer when she is able to arrive early or on time for appointments and events. Mr Foster, less so – or rather it soon becomes apparent that he takes a peculiar enjoyment in making his wife miss things or be late for them. However, this being a Dahl story, we know that vices such as greed, selfishness and inconsiderateness tend to boomerang back upon the person indulging in them.

    The Panther - read by Ben Panthera

    A girl, a shapeshifter, was going home from the beach in Dad’s car with ‘Lightning Paws’; the idea of a panther with a hoverboard. She loved him because he was cool. He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t make mistakes. He didn’t flinch. He was fluid, fluent, at one with wind and speed .. What you learn on a trip to the beach: the Nature, and a shamanic oneness .. all in 10 minutes!

    The New Farm - read by Art Agnew

    Time hardly mattered in the village of Mucker, the birthplace of poet and writer Patrick Kavanagh. Full of wry humour, Kavanagh's unsentimental and evocative account of his Irish rural upbringing describes a patriarchal society surviving on the edge of poverty, sustained by the land and an insatiable love of gossip.

    The Good Son - read by Paul McVeigh

    Mickey Donnelly is smart, which isn’t a good thing in his part of town. Despite having a dog called Killer and being in love with the girl next door, everyone calls him ‘gay’. It doesn’t help that his best friend is his little sister, Wee Maggie, and that everyone knows he loves his Ma more than anything in the world. He doesn’t think much of his older brother Paddy and really doesn’t like his Da. He dreams of going to America. Mickey realises it’s all down to him. Sometimes, you have to be a bad boy to be a good son.
