Podcast #6: Constance Markievicz

Our latest podcast, produced and presented in February 2018 by Susan Stone.

This time it’s your beloved co-host Katy Derbyshire again, telling you a lot of things you need to know about the Irish revolutionary Constance Markievicz and how she went from debutante to celebrated freedom fighter.

Also available on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, RadioPublic, and other podcast purveyors.

Show notes:

Here’s Constance as Katy first came across her, in Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green.
