20 - Wild Irishman by T. W. H. Crosland

Journey through the rich history and vibrant customs of Ireland and its people with Wild Irishman. This podcast features the unapologetically critical perspective of Englishman Thomas Crosland, whose views reflect the prejudices of his time in the late 1800s. Published in 1905, Croslands commentary comes from an era when many American cities displayed signs reading, No Irish Need Apply. As a proud Irishman myself, I encourage listeners‚Aîespecially those of Irish descent‚Aîto approach this work with an open mind, acknowledging its historical context, whether you choose to engage with it or step away. - Summary by John Brandon
