Following the success of its first season Changing Times – The Allenwood Conversations - recorded in Allenwood, Co Kildare - returns for a highly anticipated second season, launching this Friday, January 31st, with a special appearance on The Late Late Show.

Presented by Mary McAleese and Mary Kennedy and produced by Dundara Television & Media, Changing Times – The Allenwood Conversations has captivated audiences with thought-provoking discussions on Ireland’s social and cultural evolution. Season Two promises even more compelling conversations, exploring pressing issues and untold stories with a stellar lineup of guests.

Building on the momentum of its first season, this new season sets its sights on international expansion—particularly among Irish American audiences.

“We’ve seen an incredible response to Changing Times, and this season, we’re taking it even further,” said Enda Grace, producer and director of the series. “Our aim is to connect with the wider Irish diaspora, bringing these conversations to a broader audience while maintaining the depth and authenticity that made Season One so successful. Every single

episode is recorded in our studio here in Allenwood in Co Kildare. We have the wonderful Meadowlands Hotel in Tralee on board as our sponsor for this season and we’re all very excited. To launch on the Late Late Show, the worlds longest running chat show is fantastic”.

The first episode of Season Two will be available to stream on on all major podcast platforms Friday afternoon the 31st January to coincide with Mary McAleese and Mary Kennedy appearing on The Late Late Show.
