Anam 's Inntinn
John Archie MacMillan hosts a series of honest and frank interviews, in Gaelic, with personalities from the Gaelic community asking searching questions about their experiences and their beliefs.

Having served as a priest in the Catholic Church for 16 years, he did not stop ministering to people when he left - John Archie then worked as a social worker in a prison for 9 years and also had chaplain’s experience with the army cadets.

He is a skilled piper, famously having piped whilst water skiing! He is quite a character and this helps bring out the best in a fascinating selection of guests.
