Helen Mark presents 蜜芽传媒 Radio Ulster鈥檚 weekly Ulster-Scots magazine show alongside Rab Lennox. This week, an indepth look at the 鈥極ut of the Silence鈥� documentary which is now on the 蜜芽传媒 iPlayer. The documentary is fronted by Garvagh writer and Kintra regular Anne McMaster who talks about her Presbyterian family background and the language of her homeplace.

Helen asks Anne - why are so many writers taking so much inspiration from Ulster-Scots? And why now?
