Description
Examining Irish society and culture to understand how our history, psychology, and politics have shaped what it means to be Irish today.
Join me as I host conversations with Irish people who are experts in different facets of Irish culture, including nature, language, healing, folklore, mythology, music, poetry, mental health, entrepreneurism, activism, identity, social issues and current affairs.
I also ask every guest what it means to be Irish. Their answers may surprise you.
