Let's Go Green with Aisling O'Rourke
Friday, 14 August 2026 - 46 minutes
This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re talking farming, forests and the fascinating relationship between dogs and humans.
Alice Doyle, Deputy President of the Irish Farmers’ Association, joins me to discuss the impact of the recent heatwave on Ireland’s farmers, from the pressure on crops and livestock to the challenges increasingly unpredictable weather creates for the sector.
Tracy McCabe of Grown Forest tells us about their work to restore Ireland’s forests and why creating diverse, resilient woodland is so important for biodiversity and our changing climate.
And can your dog really tell how you’re feeling? We take a look at the science behind whether dogs can detect human emotions and what might be going on when they seem to know exactly how we feel.
Tune in every Monday night at 7 pm on Midlands 103 or listen back wherever you get your podcasts.
