Another fascinating Free State podcast from Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning. This time with historian Padraic X Scanlan from University of Toronto about the Great Hunger/An Gorta Mór. Well worth a listen for anyone interested in Irish/Imperialist history.

I know that the #IrishElection is over, and that it didn't go well enough for #SinnFein, but I must say I enjoyed the two episodes talk with #MaryLouMcDonald on the #FreeStatePodcast and want her as #PrimeMinister of #Sweden.
