abstract: One Recovery - Two Regions is a twenty-minute radio documentary that gives the audience an insight into the daily obstacles that those who live in rural Ireland face due to an unbalanced recovery. 
Documenting the stories from two commuters who work in different environments and locations but endure a similar routine. The audience is then brought on a journey to explore what initiatives are being done to minimise the urban-rural divide. 
It examines what programmes are working in conjunction with those experiencing this lifestyle and the government. Amongst all, it reveals that there are ways to develop rural life to sustain an attractive region for future generations. 
The research discovers that commuting has become a standard of acceptance, which has lasting knock-on effects to those commuting and the people around them. The experiences and knowledge shared throughout One Recovery – Two Regions gives a voice to those not often heard and can ignite a passion to change circumstances.
