I love this podcast. Y'all are smart and spontaneous and listening to the podcast makes me feel like I'm at the pub with my more nerdy, academic, thinker friends. Thanks for the work you do!

Love this show. I don't speak much Irish, just bits and pieces from school, but trying to get back into it. And what I love about this show is that whilst it's about Irish topics and the hosts are Gaeligors you don't have to be good at Irish to listen to it. But it does inspire to learn more and helps link you to and inform you of topical resources that can help you. Brilliant.
