It’s Paddy, Not Patty

St. Patrick’s Day… but not the version you think you know. On this episode of Shift Happened, The Second Shift crew digs past the green beer and leprechauns and finds the weird, surprising stuff hiding underneath it all. Like the fact that St. Patrick wasn’t Irish… at all. Or that Ireland used to shut down every bar on March 17th, which honestly feels illegal just saying it out loud. There’s also the real story behind Chicago turning its river green, and why spelling it “Patty’s Day” might quietly start a fight with an entire country. It’s a mix of history, myths getting busted, and those little moments that make you stop and go, “Wait… seriously?” Exactly the kind of rabbit hole you want to fall into on a holiday like this.

It all started in March 2023 after I got home from an exchange stay in Chile and felt, that I had to do more for Ukraine, than what I did on my social media accounts and on the streets in the spring and summer of 2022. I think most of us remember that initial period after Ruzzia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Speaking from a European/Danish point of view it was a time of big fear, desperation and uncertainty, but also a time of high hopes, energy and big solidarity. In the very first conversation of the show with Veronika Netrebenko, she says the following about the feelings of Ukrainians during the Maidan Revolution: ”We understood we gotta fight for it, and it was something totally different, we felt different, we felt that we need to fight for it”.
