Mark Steel: troublemaker…

Mark Steel was on radio four last night, in his new radio series, Dedicated Troublemaker. This week’s programme is most noteable for the first half, which has slices of his Belfast show, interspersed with interviews with Eammon McCann and Steven King. He also mentions a strange event in Dublin. His Mark Steel Lectures are probably his best media work to date though.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
