    NORAID: Irish America's Secret War

    In the early days of the Troubles, the Provisional IRA needed two things: guns and money. As hundreds of thousands of Irish Americans watched the troubles unfold, many of them wanted to help. NORAID was born out of this need. But was it just humanitarian aid that they were sending home, or was it weapons? This is the story of NORAID. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Northern Bank Robbery

    Chris Ward is at home with his parents. He’ s watching football on the television with his father when they hear a knock on the door. He answers and a man says “Alright Chris, I’m here to talk to you about Celtic”. The man then pushed past Chris into the house. A second man then appeared, dressed in black and a third. Chris worked at Northern Bank in Belfast, which was the largest retail bank in Northern Ireland, which distributed cash to its 95 branches, and hundreds of ATMS in Northern Ireland. It was one of four banks in Northern Ireland which had the capacity to print its own banknotes. The men made it clear to Chris that they were here because of the bank he worked in, and if he and his family cooperated they would be fine. If they didn't they would be killed. What transpired that night ended up being the largest cash robbery in British and Irish history. This is the story of the Northern Bank Robbery. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Interview with Alan Black - The Sole Survivor of the Kingsmill Massacre

    This episode is being released on the 50-year anniversary of the Kingsmill Massacre; an attack which saw members of the provisional IRA march 11 Protestant factory workers off a bus, line them up and execute them. All were killed, except for Alan and this week he tells us what life is like after such a life-altering event. We talked about a lot of things, and honed in on that English accent heard on the night of the killing and how Alan does not believe that was Captain Robert Nairac but instead the clues point toward ex-paratrooper turned IRA paramilitary, Paddy O' Kane.
