Comedian and actor, Ardal O'Hanlon will be in studio this Friday night to tell Patrick how he is preparing to go back out on the road next year with his new show. The pair will also catch up on meeting the Pope during the summer and as 30 years of Fr. Ted approaches, Patrick will be asking Ardal how his role as Fr. Dougal transformed his fortunes.
IFTA award winning actress, Victoria Smurfit will be talking about working with Dame Jilly Cooper, Aidan Turner and David Tenant on hit guilty pleasure TV show Disney Plus' Rivals.

Eileen Walsh is in studio to chat with Patrick about her role in the hotly anticipated Small Things Like These. Adapted from Claire Keegan's novel of the same name, Eileen will share the story of a father who confronts the truth of one of Ireland's infamous Magdalene laundries. Playing opposite her good friend Cillian Murphy, Eileen will tell Patrick how their friendship goes back to the start of both their careers.
In true Halloween style, Jedward will banish any ghosts or ghouls from studio with a paranormal performance while Bambie Thug will perform their brand-new song Fangtasy ahead of their Irish tour dates.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy
From 1972-1978, thirty-three young men were kidnapped, murdered, and buried in a crawl space beneath their killer's house. And no one was the wiser. Not for all those years. Why? He was charming and funny. Had a good, All-American job. Was a community leader. He even volunteered to entertain sick kids... while dressed as a clown. Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy peels back the twisted layers of Gacy's life while weaving in heartrending stories of his victims; exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma of their families and friends; and exposing the systemic failures, missed opportunities, and societal prejudices that fueled his reign of terror.
