Such a great episode analysing the Dublin riots. A must listen for anyone who wants to maintain an inclusive society in Ireland, with lessons from other countries. Thanks Naomi and Tim.

I came across this podcast as I sought to learn more about Ireland and what it meant for me to travel there from America. I have learned a lot about Ireland and the world. I have also been uplifted in troubled times by your deep humanity. Thank you very kindly.

This is an amazing podcast and I am so glad to have found it! It is very informative and formatted in such a thoughtful way. They cover things in a very investigative way and are very thorough. They are also clear about any bias they might have, instead of just pretending that you can report...Read full review »

The Mulder & Scully of Irish news and history. the presenters are so insightful, articulate and fun. Well done. The research is top level stuff.

I’m glad I finally found a podcast made by Irish people wish brings a different perspectives on topics where I only heard the British point of view. The hosts explain difficult or sensitive issues with a humane perspective. Specially, I recommend “The Famine” episode. I can’t wait to listen the...Read full review »

I’ve always found 20th century Irish History to be a bit of a tangle (or maybe I just didn’t understand it). Well done Naomi and Tim for making the history and culture of Ireland informative, fun and untangled.

Love listening to this show - always Tim and Naomi are great guides to this fascinating world.

The broad strokes of your reporting on the pitiful state of British and Northern Irish politics is correct, but at times could be accused of making convenient omissions. An example of this is the assertion in your recent podcast that the UK government prompted the DUP to oppose the NI protocol....Read full review »

Came across this podcast having recently read Naomi’s writing on Mick Wallace and Clare Daly. I was delighted to see a journalist skewer two chancers with such precision so decided to give the podcast a go. Entertaining and insightful, glad I came across it.

unique view of Irish politics and the effects of same on Europe-and vice versa. Big portfolio. I have no idea how they manage it given their day jobs but I look forward to every podcast and save them for my dog walks so I can enjoy every bit. I suspect they will hate I called them charming but...Read full review »

Le meilleur podcast sur la riche et complexe histoire de l’Irlande, tout simplement !
_Cernunnos via Apple Podcasts · France · 08/18/21
Presenters and journalists offer clear context (both historical and contemporary) to issues across the island of Ireland, as well as thoughtful perspectives on Irish governments’ relations with other countries.
HeavenlyJJ via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 08/14/21
Well researched, serious tone without taking themselves too seriously. I have one question though: how the feck do you guys keep so calm ? I’m not even Irish and I found myself crying in rage or in sadness in more than one occasion (I mean de Great Hunger episode… the Derry one…).
Lily Mathilde A via Apple Podcasts · France · 07/28/21
The podcast I hate to love. The content is very interesting and engaging. I learn something new every time I listen. But as a recovering hibernophile it makes me long to live in Ireland like most things Irish related.
The Celtic Sassenach via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/21
Thank you both for all the time and effort you put into this podcast. A great way to learn about my heritage and get a sense of where Ireland is today. I look forward to each new episode.

Top marks for this podcast. 2 really smart and hardworking journalists/ historians sharing their work with us. I have learned so much. Keep up the great work

Well done Tom and Naomi, absolutely love your podcast. The level of detail and thought put into each one is fabulous. Keep up the great work
Flats1983 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/03/21
Think again! I’m learning so much about Irish history and culture (past and present), and current events - things I didn’t know, or just had wrong - as I listen to each episode. I suggest listening to current episodes, but to partake of the ones from the beginning, to the present, too. An Irish...Read full review »

I’m hooked! Every single episode is so good. I love the hosts’ interactions. They are smart, funny, and informative. I hope to visit Ireland one day and get to see this beautiful country in person. Its rich history and awesome landscapes are unparalleled.
Jenn Kraus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/21
I was recommended your podcast by my son. Very topical and informative. Our family is divided by the whole Brexit disaster and into pro and anti unionist. For me the question is not whether a majority of electors in the North would favour a united Ireland but rather whether the population in the...Read full review »

The podcasts are terrific and part 2 in particular wAs enlightening. A must listening for anyone North or South who thinks England has their interests at heart

I recently (2021) discovered this podcast and I’m binging the back catalogue! The presenters obviously have prepared very well for each discussion and the conversation feels easy, yet professional. I really appreciate the Irish “style” of the discourse, I enjoy how the presenters speak openly and...Read full review »

I am an Italian living in Los Angeles and I am for some reason incredibly drawn to Irish culture and history.

Thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from the electrification episode. Been meaning to listen to this podcast for a long time and this was the hook that finally reeled me in. Great stuff!
Finorgan via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 11/19/20
Excellent and insightful podcast includes insights from interviews from Ireland’s recent past and present

Only listened to a few episodes so far but already my favourite podcast by a mile. The presenters are great
purplepeeps via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/11/20
This is the perfect podcast if you want to find out about the history, culture and politics of Ireland. Even as an Irish person I’ve learnt a huge amount about topics like the GAA, the Irish language and Brexit, to name just a few!
Mairead22 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/11/20
Naomi and Tim are clearly very proud Irish citizens but give a very impartial overview when discussing Ireland - whether it’s our past or our present role on the world stage. If you want to learn about Ireland look no further!
red wine please via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/11/20
Can highly recommended it! And have recommended it to several friends, both to political geeks like me (wanting to go beyond the ‘Brexit-Irish question/debate’ and learn about history, background and nuances and thereof) and to other friends who just wanted something interesting to listen to keep...Read full review »

Both of you have such a great way of explaining things. I’m Irish living in the Uk and Ive learned so much about Irish history that I never knew. Highly recommended
JeanoF via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/11/20
As a first generation Irish American, I thought I was fairly aware of key historical and modern Irish cultural touch points. Hosts Tim and Naomi gently remind me every episode that there is so much I don’t know! These are well-researched, produced and delivered mini-documentaries on items small...Read full review »
