Defining Ireland feat. Thomas O'Mahony

This week, Nate speaks with co-producer Thomas O'Mahony (or Irish Tom for short) about his recent series on the Troubles. What is it about Ireland and Irish identity that compels people with any link to the country to invent their own version of it? Why does England have no memory whatsoever of a war it waged in Ireland, and experienced in its own territory? Why can't Nate pronounce Tom's last name? All this, and more.   Check out the Troubles series on Lions Led by Donkeys here: https://soundcloud.com/user-798629330   Check out Tom's podcast 'Beneath the Skin' here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/beneath-the-skin/id1637122752   *SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT* We now have a storefront to sell the patches, buttons, and magnets that we also give out as flair for our $10 tier.
