Here's what we have ready to go:

  • Reviewing our newspapers is Dr Paul O Dwyer, dentist and recent masters graduate from the Institute of Leadership at the Royal College of Surgeons. 
  • The as it’s science week - we speak to a woman making a living out of getting kids excited about science. Tracey-Jane Cassidy is the owner, founder and director of Junior Einstein's Science Club. She might even be cracking some atoms in studio
  • Fear of Flying - If you travelled by airplane for 40 hours a week for 10,000 years statistically you wouldn’t be in a crash yet why do so many people fear flying? Michael Comyn runs flyfearless.ie and actually puts people in a flight simulator to help them to conquer their fears. Our producer John Fardy gets behind the gear stick of a simulated plane and talks to Michael about his business.
  • Motoring Mailbag with thanks to Toyota - Motoring correspondent Geraldine Herbert joins us for our monthly look under the bonnet where she answers listeners car related queries and looks at the motoring stories of the month. If you’re not sure whether to buy a people carrier or a salon get your questions into downtobusiness@newtalk.com.
  • Industry Review: Knitting & Stitching- With the Knitting and Stitching Show take place in the RDS this weekend we decided to take a closer look at this exciting  and old school industry. We won’t drop a stitch.
  • Losing the Signal- You may not remember this but at one stage a Blackberry was the must-have gadget. The speed with which the blackberry became almost redundant is a lesson for all business people. The story is detailed in the book  ‘Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry’ and we speak to one of the authors.
  • Executive Chair- This week we welcome Enda Gunnell, the CEO of PINERGY to talk energy and more.

All this and more on Down to Business from 10am until midday tomorrow morning, on air and online.

As ever, you can find blog posts and weekly DTB highlights on our show page.
