Hello, this week we're doing an episode on the early Irish-Palestine relations.
The past two years have been a particularly bleak time in the history of the region but we wanted to take a look at some of the early connections and similarities between Ireland and Mandatory Palestine from the 1920s on and maybe show why so many Irish people strongly identify with the people of Palestinian.
We've also got an ad for Samaritans early in the episode and you can find out more about volunteering for them at https://www.listening.ie/
We've got a few line shows and stuff coming up you can find out about here - LIVE SHOWS

Saipan - Part 1 (1996-2002)
This week we're taking a look back at Saipan and the Roy Keane vs Mick McCarthy debacle, and the only way to do that is by going back six years beforehand to figure out what the hell was going on that led to one of the greatest tragedies Irish sport has ever witnessed.

Arís - John Delaney - A Cowboy Special
Hello! With Ireland breaking our hearts in the qualifiers at the minute, and a Saipan movie on its way, we're back talking about football this week.
We'll have a full Saipan episode out soon, but while we were recording that it got us thinking about the man who started it all, John Delaney.
Here's a clip from an episode we did on Don John back in 2020, and you can hear the rest of the reedited version over on Headstuff+.
The original blurb (11/11/2020) - "We're finishing up this season (and celebrating reaching 50 episodes!) with a Shite Talk History Cowboy Special on the former head of the FAI, Don John Delaney. "
