Irish Music Stories Podcast

What did Irish Boston look like in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s? What were the days of social dance halls all about? Host Shannon Heaton talks to Sue Lindsay, Joanie Madden, Kevin Doyle, Helen Kisiel, and Brian O’Donovan about this colorful time in Irish American history… and about immigration in an Irish key. There’s plenty of music here, too.
