This week on The Saturday Night Show, in their first ever European chat show appearance Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina will join Brendan on the programme.

Nadezhda and Maria will be joined by economist Constantin Gurdgiev, a lecturer in Finance with Trinity College, Dublin and a regular contributor to debate here in Ireland.

Also this week, The Saturday Night Show will host a debate on homophobia; what constitutes homophobia and who gets to define the word? (Panel details will be announced closer to transmission).

Strictly Come Dancing’s Vincent Simone & Flavia Cacace will chat ahead of their upcoming show Dance ‘Til Dawn and perform a special tango from the show.
