<blockquote>I have come down with a cold so rather than subject you to me coughing and spluttering through a show I have selected a classic from the archives. </blockquote> As I explain, I recently listened back to this episode after a chance meeting with my guest Cormac Leonard.

He also shares individual stories such as John Neville who spent most of his life in a workhouse and the IRA volunteer William Leavey. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
