Re: Episode 232: Mary O’Hara
I loved this episode! I have Northern Irish friends (I live in the UK) so I already understood some of what Mary was discussing, but had no idea about a lot of it. I have now bought her book and also a book about Northern Irish history as I feel so inspired to learn more. Mary is such a bright, intelligent and warm lady and I am completely inspired by her strength of character in facing all that she has. And she has achieved so much. Truly inspirational and one of my favourite interviews.
