On many levels, but none more so than seeing the shattered illusion of empire apologists rate the show with one star for daring to betray the reality of colonisation. A must for those intent on learning - a no no for myopic creatures who need to keep their blinkers on to support their fragile self image.

Anita and William are both excellent broadcasters and engage with the listeners from the very first however they are prone to fawning over their ‘experts contributors’ and never challenge even the most egregious mistakes. It appears the production company owned by Gary Lineker has an agenda and the truth simply isn’t it. It is however entertaining so if you can listen with a critical ear you may well enjoy it.
Good show But

Hi guys, just listened too Colonising Ireland part 2 , not 5 stars though. Why have an expert on and continually interrupt her ? I missed some salient points because of these . And a little hint , if 80% avg of the people who live in Derry call it Derry , then I think we all should . Otherwise very good.
Excellent and necessary

This content should be compulsory listening for all Brits to better understand ourselves and how others see us. I’ll admit I find the hosts’ jocular banter annoying. They come across as very pleased with themselves, but you can fast forward those bits.
