Welcome to the first episode of our podcast series on the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

In this episode, we'll journey into the history of the DRC, an intricate web of events that seem to have remained in the shadows but that as we will see, are very much connected, and are a direct result of the Western world's destructive practices. 

We will also briefly look at a particular point in history that Ireland and the Congo have in common.
