Sure, It’s Only History History. It happened. Someone should probably talk about it. Sure, It’s Only History is a podcast hosted by Billy Galligan — a Dublin man living in Georgia who has absolutely no business presenting a history podcast and is doing it anyway. Sure why not. From the events that shaped Ireland to the moments that derailed the rest of the world entirely, this show covers it all. Wars, disasters, rebellions, bad decisions, good intentions gone horribly wrong, and the occasional triumph against the odds — told the way history should always have been told. Over a cup of tea, with a raised eyebrow and nobody taking themselves too seriously. Is it historically rigorous? More or less. Is it entertaining? That’s the plan. Will there be an Irish angle on absolutely everything? Almost certainly. New episodes whenever Billy gets around to it — which, given everything else he has going on, is an act of God in itself.Copyright 2026 Sure, It’s Only History Mondiale
