By , About.com Guide

SIRIUS Satellite Radio has announced the addition of two new weekly personalities: former Senator Bill Bradley and Irish expatriate and singer/songwriter Larry Kirwan.

Bill Bradley will be the host and creator of "American Voices", a weekly talk show that will feature varied stories, personalities and opinions from a broad cross section of America and the world. The show launches in May on SIRIUS Talk Central, channel 148.

Having traveled the country extensively for over forty years as a professional basketball player, U.S. Senator, and former Presidential candidate, Bradley plans to have a wide variety of guests. From athletes and writers to entrepreneurs and community leaders, Bradley's show will reflect the wide spectrum of people, places, and politics that make up the American landscape.

Larry Kirwan will host a new program of Irish music starting Saturday, April 16.

The new weekly three-hour program, "Celtic Crush", will feature a mix of traditional and contemporary music from the Celtic countries and England. It will be broadcast every Saturday from 12pm to 3 pm ET on SIRIUS, commercial-free music channel 99, Horizons.

Wexford, Ireland-born host Larry Kirwan, who is the vocalist and guitarist for the New York-based Celtic-rock band Black 47, plans to dig into his private collection of Irish-themed music to play on Celtic Crush, and to be joined occasionally on the program by special guests.
