A brand-new 15-part weekly podcast hosted by award-winning presenter Iain Dale is being launched by LBC.
The Irish Taoiseach Podcast will examine the life and political careers of the 15 men who have held the office of Taoiseach (Prime Minister) since the civil war of 1922.
Iain will trace the development of the Irish state through interviews with journalists, academics, ex-politicians and historians.
Iain said: “I could not be more pleased to launch The Irish Taoiseach Podcast. For the last thirty years, I have tried to widen people’s interest in politics and political knowledge through my political books, publishing and broadcasting – and I’m aware that In Britain, we know far too little about the politics of our closest neighbour, the Republic of Ireland.
“The style of the podcast is very conversational, and my aim is to allow my guests to talk freely and accessibly. The podcast series is meant to appeal to those with a knowledge base of zero, but also to diehard fans or critics of the Taoiseach in question.
“Over the next 15 weeks, I hope it will encourage listeners to read more widely about both Irish politics and each Taoiseach, as each man is a fascinating character.”
The Irish Taoiseach Podcast will be released every Monday on Global Player from 6 March.
