Netflix’s new series House of Guinness has been slammed by Irish critics for its stereotypes and shallow storytelling. But there’s one part of the show that works the soundtrack.

In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen explores how the soundtrack dismantles the very caricatures the show indulges in, and why modern Irish music has become a cultural reclamation in its own right.
