  • Resumen

  • 3,000 miles of ocean separate Ireland from the USA, but both countries share a deep and intertwined history. Links between North America and Ireland predate Columbus, stretching back over 1,000 years. Since then, Irish people have shaped the history of the United States. From Ann 'Goody' Glover, who was hanged as a witch in Boston in the 17th century, to JFK, the story of the Irish in the US is fascinating. Join historians Damian Sheils and Fin Dwyer as they join forces to explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of Irish American history.


    In Season 1 Fin and Damian explore fascinating topics including

    • Who was the first Irish person to cross the Atlantic?
    • The Story of Goody Glover who was hanged as a witch in Boston.
    • What was it like to emigrate during the Great Famine of the 1840s?
    • How Irish people shaped the US Civil War?


    And much more...
