Where are we going in 2026?

Irish history did not stay in Ireland. This episode sets the direction for The History & Heritage Podcast in 2026 — not through announcements, but through intent. The year ahead explores Irish lives under pressure, at home and abroad. From Irish shepherds on the Argentine pampas, to songs that carried memory when language faded, to the often-unacknowledged Irish influence on British public life. It also opens space deliberately. Some episodes will be shaped by listener questions, family histories, local stories, and the kind of Irish history you only ever hear in passing — and never see written down. What travels? What stays? What survives? Same roots. Different soil.
