    S3 EP01 – Newgrange, The Celts & The People of the Sidbh
    Oct 21 2024
    It's a whole new season and we're doing something a little different – diving into the rich tapestry of Irish mythology. But before we jump into tales of gods and heroes, we need to set the stage. In this episode, we're exploring the uniquely Irish concept of the Sidhe looking at everything from Newgrange's Neolithic passage tombs to the arrival of the Celts, unpacking how these ancient structures shaped Ireland's mythological landscape.

History of Ireland 10 to 15 mins at a time

Love this podcast. Short doses of the complicated and fiery Irish history. I have always wanted to learn more about Ireland but did not want to listen to hours of lectures. Kevin is a great presenter and you can hear his enthusiasm for the subject. I am hooked!
