Love this podcast. Short doses of the complicated and fiery Irish history. I have always wanted to learn more about Ireland but did not want to listen to hours of lectures. Kevin is a great presenter and you can hear his enthusiasm for the subject. I am hooked!

Love the podcast

My education in Luxembourg and the United States completely ignored Irish history which I find compelling. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn more about this subject.
