Hello, we're back with another season of Shite Talk: An Irish History Podcast!

For the next few weeks we'll be jumping on the World Cup bandwagon with some football tales, like the Irishman who saved Barcelona F.C. and George Best (would have been 80 this April god save us). 

It's also 110 years since the 1916 rising so we'll be covering some of the lesser talked about parts of that, as well as the recapping the first Census in the free state in 1926. We also have some great guest episodes coming up (Killian Sundermann on Studs, Roger O'Sullivan on the 1995 Rainbow Government, Aideen McQueen on Circle of Friends, and Davy Holden on all things Kilkenny).

But to kick us off next Tuesday the 17th we're going to be doing a deep dive into Ireland's most beloved Welshman, the king of snakes himself, St. Patrick.
