We have a incomplete relationship with our own history in Ireland. Our guest in the tortoise shack is historian and host of the wildly successful Irish History Podcast, Fin Dwyer and he helps fill those gaps. Fin talks to us about his work, how illness led to this becoming his life and how telling personal stories from the past can help us understand some of the challenges we face today, such as homelessness and direct provision.
