Helen Mark MBE presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine this week alongside Rab Lennox, Jonnie Crawford and Willie Hill.
Helen chats with Gillian Donagahy - senior archivist at the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland in Belfast ahead of the launch of 'Voices Across the Atlantic'. This special USA250 themed exhibition showcases rare and precious documents brought together to help tell the stories of folk's migration, hardship, opportunities and resilience.

Meanwhile, Willie meets Reverend Johnny Campbell to find out the story behind a remarkable Remembrance Sunday tribute at his church in Ballyclare which incorporates thousands of knitted poppies. Rab catches up with legendary Scottish folk trio Project Smok ahead of their upcoming shows in Co. Derry/Londonderry and Fermanagh.
