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.
