Show Notes


Hello! Here's another re-vamped episode, another of the covid year ones, and I believe the last one related to the Dev series (but if there's another one I said I'd redo please message us and I'll get it up this month!).

This one's about Erskine Childers, I had him as my phone background for about a year there trying to convince a friend to name their child after him, it did not work. We might do an episode on Erskine Junior at some stage actually, but for now enjoy this one from (almost) five years ago.

The original blurb (24/03/2020) - "For this weeks episode Kevin told Jason all about Erskine Childers and his part in the Howth Gun-Running of 1914, where 1000's of German guns were delivered to the Irish Volunteers, as well as his life during the Civil War / War of Independence. We've done a couple of episodes around that period for the centenary so expect to see a few more coming up this season! This episode also features some shite talk about Kevin's dog, Antz and Harry Potter"
