  Everyday Ethics 08.11.09

  12:21 Sun, 8 Nov 09

  Red Tory theologian Dr. Phillip Blond explains why he believes religious values still have a place in British public life. After a newspaper apologises for publishing a picture of a man who took his own life, we ask if the media's reporting of suicide is making the problem worse. Jonathan Bartley from think-tank Ekklesia talks about their new report which calls for a more honest and more inclusive commemoration of Remembrance in the UK and the philosopher Alan Haworth celebrates the intellectual legacy of John Stuart Mill's essay "On Liberty", which was first published in November 1859.

  OYB: Credit Card Woes 07 Nov 09

  09:30 Sat, 7 Nov 09

  Audrey Carville sits in for Linda this week with a story which reminds us just how important it is to hold onto ALL our receipts. Six months ago one listener filled up his new company car with £42 of petrol at a local filling station. He didn't give it another thought until a month later when his credit card statement came through, and he discovered that he had actually paid over £400. Independent financial advisor Peter Yarr joins Audrey to looks at Christmas savings schemes and the mortgage maze, and resident benefits expert Eileen Evason who will be talking about how carers are getting a hard deal.

• A Short History of Ireland

  In 1939 a divided Ireland held her breath on the brink of the Second World War. Almost a quarter of a century later she swayed on the edge of a fresh conflict - Terence O’Neill was the new Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and the Troubles were just around the corner. What happened in the years between these two great turning points? In 60 episodes, 'A Short History of Ireland' brings the events, the leading characters and the ordinary people to life. The series is written by Dr. Jonathan Bardon and is a continuation of his 240 part 'A Short History of Ireland' for BBC Radio Ulster. The narrators are Cherrie McIlwaine, Patrick FitzSymons, Sean Crummey and Dr. Jonathan Bardon.

• Best of Talkback

  Talkback was Northern Ireland's first news phone-in programme and has been on air for more than 20 years. For many years it was a sounding board for the public to react and comment on the sectarian violence of the troubles and the development of the peace process. Today the agenda reflects the changing shape of Northern Ireland - topics like anti-social behaviour, hospital cleanliness and devolution issues are now high on the agenda. It is presented by Wendy Austin, one of NI's best known broadcasters.
