Hello, this week we're doing an episode on the early Irish-Palestine relations.

The past two years have been a particularly bleak time in the history of the region but we wanted to take a look at some of the early connections and similarities between Ireland and Mandatory Palestine from the 1920s on and maybe show why so many Irish people strongly identify with the people of Palestinian.

We've also got an ad for Samaritans early in the episode and you can find out more about volunteering for them at https://www.listening.ie/

We've got a few line shows and stuff coming up you can find out about here - LIVE SHOWS
