This week, gear up to feel like you're floating away, as we hear the sounds of an iceberg in the deep, and spectate on a yearly cricket match from a sandbank - that is, if the tides are right. There’s a snapshot of some of the writers of the future, and comedian Russell Kane waxes lyrical about the novelist Iris Murdoch - and his great granny. Plus, boxing coach Deirdre Gogarty pens a response to a letter she received from an aspiring ten-year old olympian-to-be Katie Taylor, 30 years later.
