Guess Who’s Talking With Lynda Bryans

Guess Who’s Talking features intimate conversations hosted by broadcaster Lynda Bryans across two series. She sits down with figures from journalism, music, faith and activism for frank discussions about their lives and work.

Series one includes journalists Anne Hailes and Jilly Beattie, chat show veteran Gerry Kelly reflecting on The Kelly Show, singer Malachi Cush on Fame Academy and a life‑changing car accident, and radio DJ Carolyn Stewart on growing up during the Troubles. Series two widens the scope: anti‑knife campaigner Martin Crosser, Fr Brian D’Arcy (the outspoken priest and author), Hugo Duncan on music and faith, cancer survivor Emma Heatherington alongside David Jeffrey who cared for his dying partner, author Edward Arthur Guinness with Jay the Barber who cuts hair for homeless people, and Colin Bell from the Kevin Bell Reparation Trust bringing deceased loved ones home.

Recorded January 2025–March 2026, the series prioritises depth over celebrity – letting guests speak openly about struggle, resilience and the turning points that shaped them.

Lynda Bryans hosts Colin Bell of the Kevin Bell Repariation Trust, which helps bring deceased loved ones home, and Julian Simmons.
