Interviews with people who have studied particular aspects of the Troubles in depth, presenting a mosaic approach to the whole, one tile at a time. These are podcasts not just about historical events but about people and the way they treat each other and justify what they do, and the same dynamics can be seen in every society, just usually not with the same starkness or discussed with such honest clarity.
