Whether it’s the siege of Dublin in 1171 or gun battles in the 1920s, the podcast vividly recreates a sense of time and place.

If you are looking for stand alone shows there are also hundreds of podcasts covering topics from medieval sex magic to Irish connections in the Jack the Ripper murders!

    Why not start with 'A Very Irish Murder in Cincinnati' an episode from February 2019. Its an enthralling story - you wont be disappointed!

  • The Mystery Nazi Flight to Ireland - Who was really on board?

    The Mystery Nazi Flight to Ireland - Who was really on board?
    Aug 21 2024

    In this riveting episode I delve into one of the most intriguing and lesser-known stories of World War II: "The Mystery Nazi Flight to Ireland." On May 5th 1945, a German bomber unexpectedly landed in Ireland, sparking a media frenzy and wild speculation. Newspapers across the globe sensationalized the event, suggesting that Adolf Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi officials were on board, seeking refuge as the Third Reich collapse.


    Recently I visited the military archives to access the Irish Intelligence file on the incident. The plane had three passengers, all in German military uniform. Who were these men, and what led them to undertake such a perilous journey in the dying days of the war?


    Join me as we uncover the real story behind this mysterious flight, exploring the soldiers' backgrounds, their motivations, and the incredible circumstances that brought them to Ireland.


    Additional Narrations by Aidan Crowe. Sound by Kate Dunlea.

  • Exploring a 5,000 year old Tomb

    Exploring a 5,000 year old Tomb
    Aug 14 2024

    Portal Tombs are scattered across the Irish countryside. These monuments, around 5,000 years old, have been sites of ritual for millennia. Generation after generation, while spiritual beliefs changed, these ancient sites often remained sacred. In this podcast, I explore two of these tombs to understand how and why these mysterious tombs were built, and why humans return to particular landscapes over thousands of years.


    My first (and possibly only) live show of 2024 takes place at the Cork Podcast Festival on September 6th. The show is on in the atmospheric St. Luke's Church, and I have a great night of history, interviews, and stories planned. Hopefully, I will see you there.

No Leprechauns Here

For years Fin's podcast has been a flashlight into the forgotten corners of Ireland's history. I'm so happy it's now available on Audible. Níl an stair taobh thiar dúinn, piaraí sí isteach inár súile.
