We hear the start of the poem itself, Pargys Caillit (Paradise Lost), in the recording that was made by Jack Gell, and was to be heard in 'Traa dy Liooar'.

Maralyn Crellin presents 'Shiaght Laa', and we hear about Praying the Keeills, about the life and work of jazz player, John Coltrane, and about the story connected with a song of which a translation into Manx was made by Doug Fargher.

There are twelve questions for us in 'Jamys Jeheiney', shared between four parts of three questions apiece by James Harrison.

For 'Goll as Gaccan', Phil Gawne leads us through lesson 42 of First Lessons in Manx by Edmund Goodwin, before Phil and Annie Kissack perform a rhyme by Sharon Christian to teach children the sound [k].

We come to the end of the series of translations by Neddy Beg Hom Ruy (Edward Faragher, Cregneash) of Aesop's Fables in 'Claare ny Gael', and we hear extracts from a letter of Neddy Beg as well.
