    Howaya! First time posting on here!

    Just landed from Spain and diving deep into Irish history, soaking up all there is to know about your lovely country. I'm an early bird, up with the larks, and love tuning into the news or podcasts. Any chance you could steer me in the direction of some Irish radio stations I can stream online, or any YouTube podcasts covering news, politics, or history in Ireland?

    Big thanks in advance!

    Talking History is a good one and also covers non-Irish topics

    Documentary on One has some very interesting episodes, social history and the likes

    Bliindboy podcast often covers historical and folkloric subjects in an offbeat way

    Inside Politics as suggested above probably the most conventional look at the political scene in Ireland

    Edit: not much I'd recommend on radio to be honest!

    You could try Pat Kenny on News talk or Clare Byrne on RTE radio 1
