A blue plaque for a World War II codebreaker, celebrating a legendary Cullybackey poet and a little Ulster-Scots folklore!
Helen Mark, Willie Hill, Jonnie Crawford and Rab Lennox share stories they've gathered chatting with the Ulster-Scots community. This week, Willie has attended a Blue Plaque unveiling finding out about John Herivel - a World War II codebreaker with strong Ulster-Scots links.
Meanwhile Helen headed to Cullybackey for the launch of a beautifully presented collection of poems written in the early 1900鈥檚 by local man Thomas Given. Back at base, Jonnie chats with David Hume about his new book compiling tales of folklore and superstitions.
As always, listeners are invited to contact the programme with a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
