The stories in this series of podcasts are indisputable truths on the evolution of the Irish.
However, all history of ancient times is to a greater or lesser extent hearsay, since the method of passing on the stories before writing began, was to incorporate them in tales and ballads which were told and sung at every gathering of the various Clans, passed on as legend in this manner from one generation to the next.
Eventually, whichever version survived was available for scribes and historians to document when written records began to be compiled.
Myth or Legend, this was no different for the old Gaelic and Milesian people on the Island of Ireland, before the advent of successive foreign invasions, which were numerous and varied and you will get a thorough account of the evolution of the Irish in this series, called ‘’Land of the Golden Sunset’’ -

The old world is dying; the new one cannot be born; now is the time of monsters. What better time to read, and read seriously? Every pedant on the internet thinks they're a critic because they have cultural preferences and their various streaming and social media services encourage them to state these preferences in little boxes. But some of us think criticism is something more. We know that criticism implies a way of being- a rejection of complacence, a dedication to searching high, low, and in between for insight and perspective, a constant development of the critical toolkit. Not only does that way of being point towards a better existence, but it also makes for criticism that's more fun to read. That's the gambit of this podcast- that there's an audience for something other than same-same mediocrity and parasocial agreement-clubs. There should be one free episode a month. There will be another for people who become Citizens by subscribing at the Citizen (or Chieftain!) level at Melendy Avenue Review. MAR includes numerous text reviews a month, various life updates and guest posts, cute cat pictures, etc.

In and Out of Empire explores the history of the building that houses the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh: the former RCYC clubhouse, constructed with the aid of the Smith-Barry family on the site of the visit of Queen Victoria, has been at the centre of a town divided by class and allegiance, one that has a fascinating past both in and out of the British Empire.
Commissioned by SIRIUS, In and Out of Empire is produced and presented by Ellie O'Byrne under the direction of Miguel Amado, the director of SIRIUS. Research and production were supported by Cork County Council's Commemorations Grant Scheme 2021and the Heritage Council's Community Heritage Grant Scheme 2022. -

Home of Metal presents 'At The Mermaid'. The Mermaid was a large, dilapidated pub in Sparkhill, a working-class neighbourhood three miles south of Birmingham city centre. The laid-back landlords welcomed teenage punks, hippies and rockers to play weirdo music in the upstairs room, charging very little money for very bad cider. The Mermaid became a hub of DIY music scene in the 1980s, with £1 gigs, punk all-dayers, 'zine and tape swapping. It was also a site of political education for many, and hunt saboteurs gathered at the Mermaid before taking direct action.
In creating this podcast, we interviewed people who were part of the Mermaid scene, featuring contributions from Justin Broadrick (Napalm Death, Godflesh, Final), Nicholas Bullen (Napalm Death), Stig C Miller (Amebix), Steve Charlesworth (Heresy), Steve Watson (Cerebral Fix), Mark Freeth (Ausgang) and more musicians and fans who made the Mermaid a vital place for underground music.
Music heritage is all about the stories we tell around these little scenes, shining a torch on underground histories that could otherwise be forgotten in a haze of scrumpy and mushrooms.
Created by Home of Metal, presented by Sarah Lafford, produced by Alice Rosenthal.
