It's another bonus episode. It's whiskey, wakes and sandwiches so, so many sandwiches. Yes, Padraic and Patrick discuss Irish funerals. It's a busy episode with Padraic jumping up and down on a dead bullock and Patrick considers why a good funeral is better than a bad wedding.

Its a bonus episode of Being Irish where Padraic and Patrick discuss the celebration of Being Irish, yes its a whole episode dedicated to Saint Patrick's day.

In the last episode of the season, Padraic and Patrick review a typical year in Ireland, touching on the main events but also suggest a new date that we might consider adding to our calendar. It’s a crowded episode that features, Christmas, Easter, Summer holidays, Halloween and Rum Ham.

Padraic and Patrick tackle the question of sport and in particular, examine Ireland’s unique sporting heritage in the form of hurling and Gaelic football. It’s an episode of two halves, as we discuss traditional Gaelic and GAA sports first before going on to discuss soccer, rugby and and recent, equality related controversies in Irish sports.

This week Padraic and Patrick get controversial and talk about Irish Politics in the style of a conversation you might have in the pub about the political parties, voting and even a little on the civil war and formation of the parties. If you are not familiar with Irish politics, this is a great starting point.

Music is the star of the show in this episode. Padraic and Patrick take you on a brief tour of traditional Irish music while keeping at least one ear open to contemporary Irish music. Surprises abound as one of our erstwhile hosts reveals hidden talents!

Is there anyone more Irish than an Irish person abroad? Probably not but first, Padraic and Patrick discuss a far more important question - why is it so hard to get a decent cup of tea out foreign? Once that vital topic is out of the way, they explore perceptions of being Irish, Irish-Americans and some of the countries Irish people have chosen to call home.

This week Padraic and Patrick try to pronounce some Irish names before reminiscing on their experiences of learning Irish in the classroom. Spoiler, they aren’t all positive. You definitely do not need to speak Irish to get through this episode – we don’t.

This week Padraic and Patrick discuss Irish transport - trains, planes and potholes. Cautionary tales abound as Padraic recalls how he once had a notion and was nearly never seen again and Patrick vomits on the corpse of an unidentified animal.
