Episode 1: What is Irish republicanism? From the Enlightenment to The Troubles with Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh

Welcome to The Echo of the Thunder podcast

For the first episode of The Echo of the Thunder podcast I was delighted to speak with Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh.

Fearghal is a historian of the Irish revolutionary period and author of the consistently blistering BLOSC blog, a home for his writing on history and politics.

His explicitly Marxist, anti-imperialist analysis is always worth reading and in this episode we covered the fundamental philosophical tenets of Irish republicanism, the socialist republican tradition, the South as a counter revolutionary state and his experiences growing up in County Tyrone during The Troubles.
