Ireland's history is a tapestry of myth, rebellion, and resilience, stretching from the Neolithic tombs of Newgrange to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through centuries of struggle, beginning with Celtic chieftains and the arrival of Christianity via Saint Patrick in the 5th century. They explore the Viking invasions, the Anglo-Norman conquest under Strongbow in 1169, and the subsequent centuries of English domination, marked by the brutal Penal Laws and the Great Famine of the 1840s. The podcast delves into key figures like Hugh O'Neill, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, and Michael Collins, as well as pivotal events: the Battle of the Boyne (1690), the 1798 Rebellion, the Easter Rising of 1916, the War of Independence, and the tragic Irish Civil War. It examines the partition of Ireland, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the long road to peace, including the Sunningdale Agreement and the Belfast Agreement. Cultural touchstones—Gaelic sport, the Irish language, the poetry of Yeats and Heaney, and the music of the Chieftains—are woven throughout. This is a story of colonisation and resistance, of emigration and diaspora, of a small island that shaped the world. How did a nation forged in famine and revolution become a global symbol of cultural identity?

  • The Wexford Rebellion of 1798: Priest, Prophet, and Pike

    The Wexford Rebellion of 1798: Priest, Prophet, and Pike
    2026/07/22
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna turn to the Wexford Rebellion of 1798, the bloodiest and most dramatic uprising of the United Irishmen's insurrection. They explore the role of Father John Murphy, a parish priest who led thousands of untrained peasants armed with pikes against British forces. The conversation covers the Battle of Oulart Hill, the Wexford Terror, the legendary exploits of 'Beau' Harvey, and the final defeat at Vinegar Hill. They also discuss the mysterious figure of the 'prophet' James Coigly, the sectarian violence that erupted, and how the rebellion's memory shaped Irish nationalism. Specific details include the massacre at Scullabogue, the burning of Carnew, and the fate of the rebel leaders. Lucas and Luna examine whether the rebellion was a doomed heroic struggle or a tragic miscalculation, and how it haunts Irish history. #1798Rebellion #Wexford #UnitedIrishmen #FatherJohnMurphy #VinegarHill #OulartHill #Scullabogue #Carnew #BagenalHarvey #JamesCoigly #Pikes #WexfordTerror #IrishHistory #History #FexingoHistory #Ireland #18thCentury #Rebellion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Irish Mist: The Story of Irish Whiskey

    The Irish Mist: The Story of Irish Whiskey
    2026/07/21
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the fascinating history of Irish whiskey, from its medieval origins in monastic distilleries to its global dominance in the 19th century and dramatic decline under Prohibition, tariffs, and war. They discuss the key figures like John Jameson, the rise of Dublin's 'Big Four' distilleries, and the devastating impact of the Great Famine and the Irish War of Independence on the industry. Learn about the unique triple distillation process, the use of peat in malt, and the role of Irish immigrants in spreading whiskey culture worldwide. Lucas also shares the story of how Irish whiskey almost disappeared entirely, surviving only through a handful of distilleries like Bushmills and Midleton, before its recent revival. The conversation weaves in connections to Ireland's broader history of trade, emigration, and cultural identity. #IrishWhiskey #JohnJameson #Bushmills #Midleton #TripleDistillation #IrishHistory #WhiskeyHistory #GreatFamine #Prohibition #IrishWarOfIndependence #DublinDistilleries #MonasticDistilleries #PeatMalt #IrishDiaspora #WhiskeyRevival #History #FexingoHistory #Ireland Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen: A Republic Born in Secret

    The Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen: A Republic Born in Secret
    2026/07/21
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the life and revolutionary vision of Theobald Wolfe Tone, the founding father of Irish republicanism. They trace Tone's journey from a Dublin Protestant lawyer to a radical democrat inspired by the French and American revolutions. The conversation covers the formation of the Society of United Irishmen in 1791, their blend of Catholic, Protestant, and Dissenter unity, and the pivotal role of the French Revolution in shaping Tone's ideas. They discuss the failed Bantry Bay expedition of 1796, Tone's capture and trial in 1798, and his famous speech before sentencing that demanded 'the most sacred rights of man.' Lucas explains the ideals of the United Irishmen—a non-sectarian, independent Irish Republic—and how that dream was crushed at the Battle of Vinegar Hill, yet survived in spirit. The episode ends with a reflection on Tone's legacy as the 'father of Irish republicanism' and the enduring power of an idea that could not be executed. Perfect for anyone wanting to understand the roots of Irish independence beyond the Easter Rising. #WolfeTone #UnitedIrishmen #IrishRepublicanism #1798Rebellion #FrenchRevolution #BantryBay #SocietyOfUnitedIrishmen #VinegarHill #ProtestantAscendancy #CatholicEmancipation #Presbyterians #Dublin #TheobaldWolfeTone #IrishHistory #History #FexingoHistory #Europe #PoliticalIdeas Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
