Emma: Well, I'm enjoying finding & sharing these Hope & Colm interviews, and luckily they're doing a bunch of them! The Irish radio interview doesn't seem to have happened yet. Hopefully, it will still happen this week.
I noticed that "watch" button too. If there's a video of the interview, so much the better, huh?
I did find a new, short German radio interview with Hope and Colm. Here's the link:

If you click on the photo of Hope, the 6-minute audio plays. It's disappointing though that most of the interview portions consist of German radio hosts speaking in very loud voices over top of Colm & Hope whose voices are reduced in volume so you can't hear their words. Too bad they didn't insert German translations after the spoken English, instead of radio hosts drowning out Hope's and Colm's voices wih their own German translations.
Small consolation is Hope is allowed to speak 20 words or so without a German voice over top, and we get to hear her laugh! Colm's allowed even fewer words reproduced clearly. The site's page also provides a German text version of the audio. I'll try to put together an English version and post it with the other interviews above.
The Martello towers aspect of the album's recording is quite interesting, isn't it? Someone at the FB Group found this 3-min. yt video of the Martello tower at Dalkey, which Hope said was one of two they recorded in:
