Update and fixtures:

Previous seasons of the show involved 26 episodes. This was convenient as, not only did it give us one show per letter of the alphabet, it also resulted in six months of radio shows (which the station were happy about!). However, this season is more complicated, particularly as I will be back in college from mid-September. I won't really have the time to prepare or edit episodes after that.

So, what we're going to do is go all 'Deathly Hallows' and divide the series in two. The first half of season 6 will end with episode 13, which will be open for all to play. The second half of the season will then start at the end of May 2021.

Here are the fixtures for the next seven episodes. I added these to the sticky post of fixtures a few days ago but, in case no-one noticed that, I'm posting them again here. As always, if you're name is down here for a date that doesn't suit you, please let me know. A couple of shows have now been recorded on the preceding Sunday evening, so that is always an option.

Tonight’s the night! 8pm Irish time. Podcast available tomorrow.

AFTER THE FACT IS BACK

The first episode of series 6 of Claremorris Community Radio’s home-grown quiz show After the Fact will be broadcast on Thursday evening (July 2nd) at 8pm.

Host John Nolan will return with another series of themed trivia challenges for the After the Fact contestants. In this post-COVID world, the show is now being created entirely over the internet. This development has allowed the show to expand a bit: it will now feature teams of three facing off each week.

Using the internet has also allowed contestants from around the country, and indeed the world to take part. For example, episode 1 this week will feature Dave McBryan, the winner of Mastermind on BBC earlier this year. In fact, this year’s series will even feature a contestant from Australia!

After the Fact will be broadcast on Thursdays at 8pm and repeated on Fridays at 2pm.

Tune in to Claremorris Community Radio on 94.6 FM and on all good radio apps.

Recording for the new series will begin on the the last week of this month (that's June, pay attention) and shows will be created entirely over Zoom/Skype.

New players and veterans are welcome.
