Bíonn Gaeilgeoirí óga na linne seo faoi agallamh ag Séamus Ó Scanláin sa tsraith seo, agus inniu is é Darren Ó Dubhgáin as Gort an Choirce i dTír Chonaill an aoi a bheas ina chuideachta.  Is fear mór le amhráin, ceol agus spóirt é Darren, atá ag obair mar láithreoir aimsire agus leanúnachais le TG4. Is de bhunú Oileán Thoraí é, agus tá luí ar leith aige leis an oileán, áit atá sáite sa chultúr Gaelach.  Deir sé gur fiú go mór oibriú go crua le do bhealach a dhéanamh sa saol, go háirithe sna meáin chumarsáide, ach go bhfuil deiseanna faoina choinne sin.  

In this series, Séamus Ó Scanláin meets some of the young generation of Irish speakers in the country, and today he is joined by Darren Ó Dubhgáin from Gort an Choirce in Co. Donegal.   Darren has a huge interest in singing, sport and music, and he works in weather and continuity for TG4.  His roots are in Tory Island, and he has a close connection to the island, a place steeped in tradition.  He talks today about the value of working hard to make your way in the world, particularly in the media, and about the opportunities that allow you to do that.
