For this week’s episode Kevin reads Jason the story of 19th century nationalist, and founder of the United Irishman, John Mitchel. This is a two part episode and in part one we cover Mitchel's early life, his foray into anti-British journalism and his eventual trial for treason. Also, some shite talk about Cork's bad naval record, James McClean and robot lawnmowers.
