Getting ready to go on air



The theme of Menstuff is to highlight positive images of many of the magic things men do, their vibrant contribution to the community, their care and concern for those they love, their interests, hobbies, work, sports etc. The programmes talk to men about their own health experiences.
"Things for Dad's to do with kids" is a slot to talk about ordinary, but important activities that Dad's can do easily.
Menstuff looks at nutrition issues for men and for dad's to feed their kids.
"Gadgets for guys" is a new section with Niall Mac Carthaigh looking at new gadgets coming onstream which may interest men.
"Men in the Media" is a slot being developed by Alan Beirne scoping out current meida coverage of issues that affect men.
Luke Martin Men's Health and Welfare officer with Parental Equality provides a contact for dad's to seek information and support.
The team have completed the first series on ten programmes in the first half of 2006 and we have produced a CD of the first series (10 hours) in MP3 format. You can have a CD sent to you by forwrding your address to info@liamog.com. We ask you to contribute towards the cost of production to keep expanding the process.
We are presently half way through the second series.
The programme is scheduled to go out live on http://www.dundalkfm.com/ every second Thursday from 7-8 pm.
