In this episode, joining us (Vicky Twomey-Lee and Jeffrey Roe) for a chat is Dr. Rebecca O'Neill, telling us all about her role in Wikimedia Community Ireland, how to contribute to Wikipedia, and rest of Wikimedia's family.

And why people should also contribute to Wikipedia. What is "Women in Red"? Plus Rebecca is looking for pics of pancakes in Ireland. 🥞😆
