Palestine

Palestine

Hello, this week we're doing an episode on the early Irish-Palestine relations. The past two years have been a particularly bleak time in the history of the region but we wanted to take a look at some of the early connections and similarities between Ireland and Mandatory Palestine from the 1920s on and maybe show why so many Irish people strongly identify with the people of Palestinian. We've also got an ad for Samaritans early in the episode and you can find out more about volunteering for them at https://www.listening.ie/ We've got a few line shows and stuff coming up you can find out about here - LIVE SHOWS Learn more about your ad choices.

Arís - John Delaney - A Cowboy Special

Hello! With Ireland breaking our hearts in the qualifiers at the minute, and a Saipan movie on its way, we're back talking about football this week. We'll have a full Saipan episode out soon, but while we were recording that it got us thinking about the man who started it all, John Delaney. Here's a clip from an episode we did on Don John back in 2020, and you can hear the rest of the reedited version over on ⁠⁠⁠Headstuff+⁠⁠⁠. The original blurb (11/11/2020) - "We're finishing up this season (and celebrating reaching 50 episodes!) with a Shite Talk History Cowboy Special on the former head of the FAI, Don John Delaney.

Bonus Dev - Schrödinger's Bastard

Hello! Here's a short teaser for the final episode in our De Valera series. Over on Head Stuff+ we did more of a deep dive into his birth (and his dad), the so called "Dev's Vice Act" (which led to a good Dundalk man getting fined for shifting), Dev's relationship with the physicist Erwin Schrödinger, and his ultimate legacy with the Mother & Baby homes, Haughey, and Bertie. If you want to hear the rest of this episode, as well as all our old bonus content (Bertie / Sean Quinn / the FAI etc.), all our Film Club episodes, remastered versions of related Dev / Collins episodes, and ad free versions of every episode, you can get it all for ~€5 by following this link to ⁠⁠Headstuff+ Learn more about your ad choices.
