News about the proposed Academy, a visit to the Broadisland Gathering, an Ulster-Scots debate, a symposium, and Ulster-Scots music - old and new.

We hear about the 4th Queen’s University Belfast Language & Politics Symposium, and listen to a debate on whether Ulster-Scots is a language.

Dr Fred Freeman discusses the song-writing talent of Robert Burns - and Charlie Gillen talks about winning the title of Bard of Ballycarry.

We pop by the Ballycarry Braidislan’ Getherin; and there's news of the new posts advertised at the Ulster-Scots Academy.

Plus there’s music from Robin Laing, The Whistlebinkies and The Low Country Boys.
