Shite Talk: An Irish History Podcast

Show Notes

Here's part one of our series on Patrick Pearse / Pádraig Mac Piarais, arguably the figure head of the Easter Rising. In part one we cover from his birth up until 1915, part two will be 1916, the Rising, and the aftermath, and then part 3 will be behind the paywall because we'll be dealing with some of the .... allegations.
