Love the show! A thought: could you expand the scope to include the Irish involved in empire-building by countries other than Britain -e.g. Spain & France. Thousands of Irish served these countries from the 1600s on.
Loved the show! A really unique perspective on history from an Irish point of view. It’s also, dare I say, kind of funny? Looking forward to more episodes.
A terrific podcast shining a light onto Irish people’s involvement in the British Empire, a slice of Irish contribution to history that is often overlooked. The first episode shows how brutal life was in earlier centuries, outlined with erudition and empathy by the presenters and their guest. Can’t wait for the next one.
