Irish History Podcast

For the past few months, I've been listening to a fascinating podcast produced by Fin Dwyer, an Irish historian based in Kilkenny, Ireland. We're getting no ad fees by telling you about his show. It's just something I wanted to share because I've heard so many interesting stories on the Irish History Podcast.

Fin has that quintessentially Irish talent for storytelling, keeping you in suspense as much as possible. But he's also a skilled researcher, able to dig into a story and unearth the most in-depth facts. I've learned about a Kilkenny witch hunt in the 1300s, a strong close-knit community that survived on the Blasket Islands, and a lot about the horrors and heroes of the Great Famine.

The podcast makes it easy to carry the show around on my phone and listen to it in any room of the house as well as in the car, my favorite way to make use of driving time. No matter what kind of smartphone you have, you can get an app that will play the Irish History Podcast. And if you don't have a smartphone, you can still listen to the shows on your computer using Fin's website here.

I hope you get to hear it, and please let me know what you think of it when you do.  ~Sue
