Shackleton and St. Brendan – Irish Explorers who Took on The World (#112)

We are delighted to bring you Episode 12 of The Letter from Ireland Show – a weekly podcast that goes out each Thursday from our cottage in County Cork. Tune in to this episode – and dive straight in to a bit of Irish caint, ceóil agus craic (conversation, music and craic!).

In this episode, Carina reads two of our letters from Ireland. First up we take a look at the story of Irish explorer who was also an Irish Saint: “A Voyage With Saint Brendan“. Then, she introduces us to some more Irish explorers – famous for their antics in the Antarctic, as well as a well-known Irish actor whom you probably consider English: “Britons, Quakers and Kerrymen“.
