Episode description

Frank McCourt wrote his beloved memoir, Angela’s Ashes, about a childhood spent in Ireland. Una Heaten turned the schoolhouse he attended into a museum honoring his book and his legacy. I traveled to Limerick to ask what it’s like to build a museum ... and hope listening like this evaporates borders. Special thanks to the musician Dana Boulé. Consider donating to the WestinsFund.org. Visit the Frank McCourt Museum: https://frankmccmuseum.wixsite.com/ "Telling stories is sure medicine." —Primo Levi
