Marie Jones - the last in our featured writers in the Lyric FM series - women and words - goes out this Saturday at 3pm. The six part series draws to a close with the story of the Belfast born playwright. The RTÉ.ie Lyric FM feature on Women and Words may be found at the following link: http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/features/1222565.html. Women and Words is the second completed Sound and Vision supported radio project by Athena Media and follows ‘the Last Wake’ documentary for newstalk 106 - which was broadcast earlier this year. ‘The Last Wake’ is up for a PPI documentary award on October 10th. We’re now in the final stages of our third Sound and Vision supported radio project ‘Urban Beauty, Urban Blight’ - a 4 part series exploring what makes cities in Ireland and the story behind urban development. This series will be broadcast on Newstalk 106. Earlier this year Athena Media completed a six part documentary Tv series ‘Winning Women’ on young Irish sports stars which was broadcast on Setanta Ireland and part funded by Sound and Vision. Athena Media is one of the few production companies in Ireland to have completed both radio and TV documentaries under Sound and Vision.
