Most people know the big ones, Creep Dive, Irish History Podcast yada yada but what are some of the Irish podcasts that ye all love but few people seem to be aware of?

[Sharkfiles](https://www.thesharkfiles.com/about-shark-files) (covers the stories of when sharks and humans collide) would be a prime example of the kind of thing i’m thinking about here.

  14. Candle lit tales is good for mythology. The Almanac of Ireland is pretty interesting too. Shite Talk History. Anything with Tom O’Mahony is pretty funny.

  16. Three castles burning is good if you’re interested in the history of Dublin, the host takes a certain part of the city or a specific subject from the city each episode and explains it’s history in an engaging and interesting way.

  17. Shite Talk is quite good it’s an Irish History podcast with a guy from Carlow and one from Dundalk I believe.

    Irish History Podcast with Fin Dwyer is nice too.

    Three Castles Burning is excellent and so is Men’s Rea.

  18. Documentaries on 1 is a great library of podcasts you coukd find anything on it from the Irish guy smuggling boxers out of Cuba and taking on Don King.. to the supposed Irish serial killer of the tube in London.

  20. I’d really recommend the Irish passport podcast by Naomi O’Leary and Tim McInerney. It’s kind of an irish history/politics podcast that dives into mixture of political and historical topics with great insights and research. They often get on guests who are knowledge on topics they are exploring such as a former army officer when they were looking at Irish neutrality. One of my favourites is where they explore the parellisisms that exist between the colonial rule of ireland and india.

  21. Rebel Matters is great. Host interviews different people, there’s been some great ones , over 100 episodes online. East going chats with interesting people

  22. Have to give a shout-out to the Fireside Podcast. Wonderful look into Irish mythology and folklore. Really well told and interesting, as well as being very easily entertaining and casual. It’s a charming, fascinating time.

  23. Troubles podcast is pretty good. No surprise the subject is the troubles 😅 but the episodes are pretty solid and interesting. Pretty heavy subject obvs

  27. 80 days is great fun! Three history and geography nerds talk about a particular place for 2 hours. Very easy listening and entertaining.

  30. I host a podcast in which I consider how I would adapt ancient historical events into HBO style narrative shows. I made eight episodes last summer but haven’t had the chance to make more since. It’s called ‘The Historical Motion Picture Organisation’ and should appear on most major podcast platforms. I’m new at podcasting and it certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but it fits your request for a small, barely known Irish made podcast 🎙
