Over half a century ago, America's space program kicked off with Project Mercury, made up of a select group of test pilots tapped to be the first men in space.
These are a series of interviews with performers, makers, directors, artists, designers, technicians and those that work in the arts in Ireland, from Ballymun and beyond
Chat about the series; the pressures that come with playing a real life American hero; not letting rejection stop you from dreaming; and what it's like when all your hard work starts paying off.
Colin O'Donoghue and Jake McDorman talk about their roles in The Right Stuff, National Geographic's first scripted series about America's first astronauts, the Mercury Seven.
Our special guests on the opening FIRST TUESDAYS livestream gig of 2022 are star of stage and screen Colin O’Donoghue and Irish songwriting legend Oliver Cole!
