The Story of The Kerryman Newspaper

This podcast features many voices from our oral history archive, taken from recordings we compiled over the years with staff members of The Kerryman newspaper and contains some fascinating stories and memories of working with the newspaper.  It provides a great insight into how deeply embedded The Kerryman really is in the local community, and also with the Kerry diaspora around the world.

 The people whose voices are included are:

Don Nolan, grandson of one of the founder members, Daniel Nolan.
