Episode 38: The Luck of the Irish

from The Sapio Files · host Chelsea

We hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day last weekend! This week, we take a closer look at the popular holiday. Who was St. Patrick? What are the holiday's religious and cultural roots? How has the holiday morphed over the years? What does it teach us about Irish culture and where does it mislead us? Where do we get our traditions from? What's the deal with leprechauns and other folklore, and how did they become part of this holiday? We dig into all these questions and more this week!
