Customer Reviews
Terrific
Great stories, well-told. Fantastic prep for my upcoming visit to Ireland!
Great podcast
Informative and entertaining! Well researched and thought out
Wonderful background!
I recently took Lorcan’s tour with my three daughters. I’m a lover of Irish history, particularly the wars of Independence and the troubles. Listening to this podcast has been invaluable in filling the gaps of my knowledge of the wars of Independence. Thank you so much Lorcan for sharing your time and knowledge with my daughters and I. I have always found this period confusing, and I am rapidly catching up thanks to the tour and the podcast.
One request: can you do one or more podcasts about the.Black and Tans?
Thank you so much.
