Episode seven of the Irish Stand Podcast is an early yuletide special, with Aodhán and Lisa sinking their teeth into the egregious nature of male entitlement, the barbarism of tear-gassing children, Lisa’s new Abbey-bound play and her granny doing the Charleston for the Fuhrer.

Aodhan and Lisa talk with US-based Irish immigration lawyer Fiona McEntee and US ex-pat Charlie Veprek about the outcome of the mid-term elections.

Aodhán also speaks to Congressional candidate Liuba Grechen Shirley about taking on Pete King in next Tuesday’s mid-term election.
