Manx Radio's weekly programme looking at Manx life from a different angle, exploring the historical, social, linguistic and academic issues. We meet a return visitor to the Island - after more than 40 years - from the Netherlands, a broadcaster and journalist, Wieky Beens. She recalls her earlier visit and comments on the Island today - and tomorrow. 2019 is the year of indigenous, lesser-used languages. Francis Boutle Publishers of London has undertaken a series of publications in and about such languages and the cultures they represent. Clive Boutle was a recent visitor to the Island for Yn Chruinnaght's Celtic Gathering, and he explains how he got involved.
