“Great to hear about the complexities of Irish women/girls immigrating to 19th century America instead of the usual rags to riches stories. Striking how the story hasn’t changed enough for current immigrants and/or African Americans in an unfair system.”

“I really enjoyed this podcast- just the right length for me and so many interesting guests. It is an area of research that is fascinating and so so relevant today where migration, racism and poverty are back at the top of the agenda.”

“As a Liverpudlian with at least 6 great-great grandparents who came from Ireland in the famine years, I was fascinated by this podcast.
