Joining us today is Kevin Brannigan, the Director the documentary NORAID: IRISH AMERICA AND THE IRA to chat about the film, the NORAID group, and a few tangents as always along the way.

This is technically a Film Club, but also the first one we've done with a guest who was involved in the making of the project, so it's going out of the regular feed.

We had so much fun recording we went a little over, well about 30mins over so all of that chat is on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Headstuff+⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ along with all of our other Bonus Feed content!

Leave a review or rating wherever you listen to pods, tell your friends, tell some strangers for good luck too!
