Episode Synopsis

Chosta aka Conor Kelly is a Dublin artist who releases his debut album Twilight Transmission on Friday, February 17. He launches the record with a show at the Workman's Cellar that night.

Twilight Transmission is a concept record about a fictional network of interconnected radio stations, inspired by the outliers of radio station programming, including Donal Dineen, NTS and Dublin Digital Radio, in an increasingly homogenous radio landscape.

I met Conor at Trinity on a bright, brisk spring day to talk about making Twilight Transmission, which was written and recorded throughout lockdown. We talk about his collaborations with Jape and Fears, supporting Caribou, and how the concept behind the album developed.
