Carole Wardlaw / Presenter

Carole Wardlaw co-presents The Arts Zone on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month at 12 noon on Dundalk FM 97.7 alongside Eimear O’Kane, bringing a thoughtful, well-informed perspective on arts and cultural life in Dundalk and the surrounding region to the station’s Saturday lunchtime schedule.

The Arts Zone, which airs on the second and fourth Saturdays at noon, has established itself as one of Dundalk FM’s most respected specialist programmes, covering theatre, visual art, music, literature, and community creativity with the kind of genuine engagement that only presenters who are themselves part of the arts community can bring.

Carole’s contribution to the show reflects years of involvement in arts and community activity in Co Louth. Her knowledge of the cultural landscape and her ability to interview artists, organisers, and cultural figures in a way that brings out the interesting detail in their work make her a natural co-host for a programme built around exactly that kind of conversation.

The Arts Zone is a programme that does important work in Dundalk, keeping arts and cultural activity visible and valued in the life of the community. Carole Wardlaw is central to why it works.
