Show Notes
Today, Shane whisks Hazel away to his second favourite island in the world.
They discuss their treasured holiday spots across the Emerald Isle before diving into the storied past of Northern Ireland’s finest hidden gem: Rathlin Island.
Featuring Robert the Bruce, the ghost of Richard Branson and an incredibly unsatisfactory puffin tour, there’s fun for all the family on Rathlin. Some monks do get slaughtered though, obviously.

Hazel tells Shane all about the extraordinary life of Colonel Thomas Blood, the infamous con-artist who after botching a kidnapping took the next logical step: attempted the only known heist of the Crown Jewels. Cue lots of innuendos.
