Don’t waste time on “RisingTime”. He’s aggrieved that he and his fellow white men have had to cede ground to women and POC. And he’s sad that no one seems to appreciate how his demographic has taken such a hit over the last 65 years or so. Apparently he’s out to reclaim his assumed birthright. Sad.

Waking up to Gordon Lightfoot on a dark November morning. Nice. #risingtime #speirgorm

Waking up to wind and rain and a truly beautiful song from the Sounds from a Safe Harbour musicians. Gentle start to a stormy day.

Early morning vegetable soup. The ever eclectic #risingtime an excellent companion to pre-dawn chopping 😊

Waking to The Decemberists, John Bowman’s pick of Christmassy archives and now the Sunday Miscellany signature tune, unchanged for my whole life. Love my radio.

Thank you so much Lilian Smith for playing "Hang On A While" on Rising Time 🌞 @rteradio1.bsky.social #ireland #risingtime

Thrilled to hear #Dogs new single #OnlyHome played on both #RisingTime by Lilian Smith and on #LateDate by Cathal Murray @rteradio1.bsky.social, hot on the heels of performing it live in Trafalgar Square last weekend @stpatsldn.bsky.social
- thank you all.

Back in the day when we used to hitch up & down the country, I met the Saw Doctors TWICE on the road. We had the best craic. Sang songs, eat ice cream & sweets. I rem they were so excited the first time because they were staying in a hotel with a swimming pool #RisingTime @rteone.bsky.social

Next up #risingtime @rteradio1.bsky.social

Earlier start than usual, #risingtime @rteradio1.bsky.social from 5.30am

Live from Fr Mathew quay at 6 am. Good morning it’s #risingtime on @rteradio1.bsky.social Lá Fhéile Bríde

I know it’s Friday (because the alarm is set for #risingtime @rteradio1.bsky.social in the morning) But it feels like Saturday. May tomorrow be the last of the “what day is this” season please. Thanks. 6am pop picker 😘
