Episode 6 - Influenza in Ireland
Many Moons Ago was borne out of a pandemic. For our final episode, it seemed only fitting to return to one! This episode was recorded at a live guest lecture with Dr Ida Milne, Lecturer in European History at Carlow College, and covers her work on the Spanish Flu pandemic in Ireland. Join us for the season finale of the 88th session to hear all about how Ireland grappled a devastating disease and period of revolution between 1918 and 1919, along with the scary echoes of previous pandemics during our own one! Special thanks to all our listeners and sending all our love from the 88th session of DU History!
