Christmas Meltdown

A pet isn't just for Christmas, as Steven celebrates five years with his dog, Toby. And he looks at the changing face of Ireland's architecture.

What do dogs and abandoned buildings have in common?

Very little, but somehow they come together in Steven Rainey's Christmas Meltdown, where a new book about pet cemeteries leads Steven to question his own mortality, as well as looking at the past five years, time he's spent in the company of his dog, Toby.

That somehow leads to an investigation into the abandoned buildings of Ireland, in the company of photographer Rebecca Brownlie, as she documents landmarks that lie dormant on our streets.

And there's time for a little festive fun, and maybe even some original music.
