Available for 29 days

Helen Mark MBE presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine. This is a special edition of the show during which Helen sits down with Lee Reynolds – since last Autumn the first commissioner for the Ulster-Scots and Ulster British tradition. Helen finds out how Lee got the job, how and why it was created in the first instance and what he hopes to bring to this hugely significant role. There's also plenty of chat about broader Ulster-Scots issues and around Lee's upbringing in general. Meanwhile, Jonnie Crawford revisits a 2021 chat he enjoyed with Lee's father - poet Charlie Reynolds. As always, listeners are invited to contact the programme with a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email – [email protected]
