Customer Reviews
Irish Canadian
My parents were from Dublin and instilled a love and appreciation of Ireland. I love this podcast.
Great, accessible history
The History Show makes history very accessible and enjoyable. I have not a drop of Irish blood, but I find the history covered, both Irish and beyond, interesting and engages me to learn more. I find Miles is very objective when he presents what could be controversal topics of history, as Irish history (apparently) can very much be. Thanks for not making history dry, which it often is in presenation.
