Where have you gone?

Excellent podcast, great knowledge and easy to listen to. Disappointed you’ve seemed to have stopped posting!

Excellent Podcasts

Very well researched and informative. Lorcan’s great Dublin accent makes each episode very easy listening. I agree with Lorcan, we need a statue of Padraig Pearse outside the GPO in O Connell St.

Brilliant podcast

Only just caught on to this pod while planning a visit to Dublin in March 2023. I’ve got plenty to catch up on after just listening to the Easter episodes and the Lillian Stokes diary all of which I’ve really enjoyed.
