“An Irish nationalist narrative with an added chip-on-the-shoulder. The episode on Cromwell would have benefitted from a broader historical perspective and questioning, rather than re-enforcing a sense of nationalist victimhood about events of 400 years ago. To be fair, some of the content is...”Read full review »

“Looking for an Irish history podcast? Look no further.
Fin Dwyer covers both the broad sweeps of Irish history but what he really seems to specialise in is the detailed human stories that make up the history.
Very professionally written, delivered and produced.”

The catalog is a treasure trove, but bring the same skepticism you would bring to an English-written history of Ireland. I wish he’d consider his biases and learn to adjust language and perspectives.
