Podcasts about cuchullain

Join the dynamic duo Paudie and Lenny as they explore the tale of one of Ireland's greatest warriors. How Cuchulainn Got His Name is an Irish classic and its a story Mark has been telling since the museum open back in 2010. We look at villians and heroes, and who decides which is which. Of course Lenny cant do a podcast with talking about dogs but this time its relevant ... thankfully Paudie has a tight hold on the leash! If you have any question you'd like us to answer, topics you'd like us to discuss, or stories you'd like us to tell, tweet us at @leprechaun_ie with #AskAStoryteller or find us on Instagram @leprechaunmuseum.

Are deities dangerous to work with? The answer is simple but often not one that a lot of people want to hear. Note: The background noise in this episode gets weird at the end so I hope it isn't too hard to understand.

It’s not every week a striking piece of early 20th century Irish art makes it to the upper-echelons of the British popular music charts, but so it was this week with Oliver Sheppard’s remarkable The Death of Cuchullain, bracing the front of the new Fontaines DC record. Denied by Taylor Swift there - and the Coronas at home - the album cover has reignited interest in one of Ireland’s great artists who helped shape our collective identity of what it meant to be Irish, and whose incredible statue gazes on us from the window of the GPO. To discuss further, Donal Fallon joins Sean Defoe this week for another episode of Hidden Histories.
