In this seasonal special, Niall talks to his old friend Dr Kelly Fitzgerald, Head of the School of Irish, Celtic Studies and Folklore at University College Dublin. They discuss Kelly’s background in Chicago, her work as a folklorist and the significance of Halloween – or Samhain – in Irish culture, from the depths of the past right up to the modern day, at home and abroad.
