  • Connolly's Column: The Irish Men who fought Franco

    Connolly's Column: The Irish Men who fought Franco
    May 11 2021

    A brave troop of Irish men, going against the wishes of the Irish Government, left Dublin to join the Socialist movement in Spain. Many saw this as a precursor to World War Two, many saw it as a fight between two opposing ideologies. Whatever the reasons, Irish men fought on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, and in this episode, we look into the side known as Connolly's Column.

  • Kathleen Goligher - The Belfast Medium Who Oozed Ectoplasm

    Kathleen Goligher - The Belfast Medium Who Oozed Ectoplasm
    Apr 27 2021

    Kathleen Goligher was one of the members of the Goligher Circle who were a family of mediums based out of Belfast in the early 1900s.


    She gained international notoriety when stories of her seances and rapping sessions (not what you're thinking!) made it into the newspapers in Ireland and the UK and Houdini himself dispatched people to prove the veracity of her claims. So was any of it true? Or was it all just a bunch of smoke, mirrors, and ectoplasm?
