Episode description

Neal Ó Riain is the boy across the road who your Mam compares you to. He literally has a PhD in Astrophysics, a fine job in London and – of course – fluent Irish. However, Neal is sweeter than his native Carlow’s sugar refineries, and gave the world @antainbot (The best bot on Twitter) and Aireamhan, a coding language based on Irish. He tells Darach and Gearóidín all about it on today’s episode, and they chat about language issues in science too. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.
