Show Notes

Nowadays, kids spend a lot of time consuming content online, one of the most popular platforms for this is YouTube, but they mostly watch American content due to the lack of dedicated Irish creators.

This has resulted in some observing younger children developing Americanised accents and using American words.

One person who is trying to change that is teacher Fergus Lacey with his channel RíRá Rhymes.

Fergus, as well as Katie Makk, Presenter of the ‘Opinions Matter’ podcast and Peter Melrose, Primary School Teacher from Meath, join Andrea to discuss.
