  • Summary

  • Transatlantic, the new podcast from Fin Dwyer and Damian Shiels, explores the history between Ireland and North America. Today, over 30 million Americans claim Irish ancestry. While many trace their origins to emigrants during the Great Hunger of the 1840s, Ireland's complex relationship with North America stretches back centuries. In this brand new show, Fin and Damian bring you on a journey exploring connections between Ireland and the Americas.


    Series one is packed with fascinating stories.


    Episode 1, coming on September 9th, looks at who the first Irish person to cross the Atlantic was. We will be exploring some fascinating and forgotten stories from our past, including Goody Glover, an Irish woman who was hanged as a witch in Boston, and the forgotten American invasion of Cork! We will also explore more well-known stories, including the experiences of emigrants during the Great Hunger and how Irish emigrants shaped the US Civil War.


    Subscribe to Transatlantic today – Episode 1 drops on September 9th.
