I better not regret this … I havent listened since last year
Do the McCarthy Dundons and others get a mention?
An area of special interest for you I believe, you’d be a good man to critique it, I’m only about 20 minutes in
He’s done a podcast on flyer delivery?
I’m listening … hurling in Limerick gets a mention - late 1700s.
Listened to 2 of David “Macker” McWilliams recent ones and were interesting
He is on the hunt for subscribers via paetron as well
Monitise the brand.

What was the gist of it?
A mix of accusations that other people online bullied her. The more the podcast goes on and you hear interviews with male and female porn stars, you realise how fucked up their childhoods were and how fucked in the head they are.
The Butterfly Effect was ok but the August Ames one was shit,
Well, is it worth finishing?
It’s a simplistic overview of faction fighting - interesting if you knew little about it.
He leaves out the class consciousness behind most faction fighting - small farmers v large farmers etc.
A grand easy listen I suppose

He usually spoofs away about any aul topic that comes his way in fairness. Did he mention Baudrillard and hyperreality by any chance? He couldn’t stop mentioning him round the time he did a MA over in the art college
dont think he did… havent listened to him in a long time tho.
Only ever listened for his Spike Lee interview…he’d some stupid piano playing in the background throughout
Finished it this morning, it’s an entertaining yarn from start to finish in fairness, what did you make of the ‘hot take’ that hurling was simply a slightly sanitized version of faction fighting.
I love the image of the old lad proclaiming ‘i’m a three year old’ after a feed of drink looking for a fella to batter
I’ve a few transcribed police records at home with 3 year old v 4 year old violence … possibly one chap out in Doon shouting up the 3 year olds when a funeral was taking place in the town and getting his head fractured with a belt of a stone for it … common practice. I think 3 year olds v 4 year olds was very much small farmer v large farmer or class based.
Hurling obviously predates faction fighting and if anything - faction fighting possibly sprang from hurling when it was banned.

Did Liam Chambers teach an entire module on agrarian violence in the 18 and 19 century or was it part of a wider module? It was great stuff, I gave an entire day in the national archives once looking into Caravats and Shanavests but found nothing worthwhile
Part of a wider course … Maura touched on it a bit too.
