Listen to find out what happens because of it.

This episode is a long conversation I have been meaning to record and get out to you for a while but due to scheduling conflicts it has been pretty hard for Dr. Ian Stewart and I to meet up. In our interview we discuss some of the content of his new book The Celts: A Modern History which outlines the rise of Celtic nationalism and ideas associated with it in the 1800s. We also discuss some more modern feelings towards the Celts. Get his new book in the link below.

Today’s episode is a rather impromptu episode I got the inspiration to do early in the morning. If this episode does not release on St. Patrick’s Day for you, I apologize I should have thought of this sooner. Today’s episode will briefly detail the life of St. Patrick. With much left out for a later episode I hope today’s episode will shed some light on who St. Patrick was as a person and give you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the celebration of St. Patrick. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, stay safe and have fun!
