S3 EP23 – The Good People

The History of Ireland · Aug 19, 2026 · 23m

I'm very excited to share this episode, it is an interview with the author Hannah Kent. Hannah wrote the amazing novel The Good People which is a fictional account of a very real story that took places in the early 19th century. A story very similar to that of Bridget Cleary.

Hannah took a very rigorous approach to her work and so I wanted to chat to her about her research and what she learned.
