Listening to this podcast from Australia.
I am not of Irish descent, but have visited Ireland, including Northern Ireland in 1985. From that visit I developed a thirst for understanding about ‘The Troubles’.
I’m learning a lot about the intricacies of all sides thanks to this podcast.
I find it heartening that Sam travels to the republic as an ambassador for his community, cannot be an easy task, but one that needs to be done
Keep up the good work!
Just here to say thanks for the Davy adams interview. It was just excellent. Going back over older episodes now. Another shack series people should listen to.
Podcasts can be very samey and safe. This isn't. they discuss topics that are uncomfortable, but in a way that informs and brings on the conversation. I'm a tortoise shack subscriber and thought this was a strange choice for the platform. But it wasn't. It is v.good
lots of talk simplistic talk about border polls and numbers, but these are the people behind the numbers. keep up the good work, lads
Listened to the Beano pod and am now going back over the older eps. Well done lads. Keep it going, these are important chats.
