In The Loop
Every Saturday morning James Varley and Seán Ó'Maoilchiaráin host In The Loop, a lively and engaging show designed for young listeners aged 8–14 across Galway City and County. They break down the week’s biggest news stories and current affairs into clear, relatable language for our younger audiences.
With a mix of fun discussions, interviews, quizzes, and real-life examples, James and Seán make complex topics feel relevant and interesting without talking down to their audience.
What sets the show apart is its strong focus on participation—children are encouraged to share their opinions, ask questions, and raise concerns about issues that matter to them, from local community topics to global events.
Through call-ins, voice notes, and interactive segments, Sean and James ensure young voices are heard and valued. They create a welcoming space where children feel confident expressing themselves while learning to think critically.
