Hello and welcome to Potted History, a Trademark podcast series for people interested in the key historical events and processes that have shaped the world we live in. Over the course of the series, we’ll be joined by different guests who’ll talk us through a particular theme, event or period in history from a left-wing perspective. We’ll be looking at the Irish revolution and counter-revolution of the early twentieth century; the history and legacy of the recent conflict in the north of Ireland; different aspects of working-class, trade union and socialist history; and anything else that listeners might want us to deal with as we go along. So, thanks as always for listening. We hope you enjoy the series and take something from it.
