Rasputin, Robespierre and Joseph Mary Plunkett Walk into a Bar....

The two boys headed off on the train with a bag of Super Soaker cans buíochas le Wicklow Wolf agus Yellowbelly Beer and they headed for Kilkenny. Billy Byrnes bar was the venue where they were going to settle into a few pints with Fin Dwyer, the host of the Irish History Podcast, a favourite podcast of DJs. The next hour or so of audio is the lads chatting about history in the least conventional way possible. A fascinating conversation about how history is taught and how we perceive the modern world, especially the role of women in Ireland is had. Fuelled by some pints of 12 Acres Pale Ale from Killeshin in Co. Laois just up the road from Kilkenny and some Beyond A Pale from Costellos, a brewery local to Kilkenny we move onto some serious topics. Ever wondered which character form history the lads would like to play in a feature film? Have you ever thought, who would Fin love to have over from history for a session to spill some beans? This is the podcast for you! We can't tell you in words how much fun we had recording this one! It certainly won't be our last train journey to Kilkenny that is for sure!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/snugcast/message
