In this episode I discuss, what I believe to be, the little known role that Ireland played in how Europe started to rebuild itself after the decline of the Roman empire. It's a tour around the chain of events that helped preserve and rebuild western civilization during the early Dark Ages, from Cassiodorus to Colombanus.
