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".
In this episode, we look at two stories of strong Irish women. The first story examines that well-known muse of the poet, W.B. Yeats - Maud Gonne. In the second story, we look at the mother of a man who you still see on the "telly" on a regular basis. Did you know that "Mrs Brown", also known as Brendan O'Carroll - has a mother with an amazing story of her own?
