The Offbeat aims to bring you stories and features that you may not ordinarily hear - those things that are off the beaten track...
In this episode, Sarah Slevin and Saoirse Duhan headed into the city to chat to various buskers to get their stories.
You'll hear from a street artist, musicians and a singer, and learn about why they began busking, what their hopes are and how things have changed over the years.
They share insights like how there are less people busking and walking through the streets, along with how the change in payment styles has affected them.
You can also hear how street artist Patrick took to painting on the streets after surviving cancer - beginning during Covid-19 when the streets were much quieter.
And you'll even hear from a musician who is out for his first day of busking and one that has been busking for countless years.
Sarah and Saoirse also ask them to share their hopes and dreams with their craft.
