Most of the people nominated are interviewed at length in the Rise Theatre Productions free online podcasts. Join the Rise group here and gain links to each of Aonghus Og McAnally's interviews via iTunes.  Each interview is approximately 50 minutes long and the series is now 'more popular than BBC Radio's The Archers'.
