My name is Mark Power and I’m a History and English teacher in the Waterford/Kilkenny borderlands. Once, I was a radio journalist on WLR FM and would make the occasional radio documentary on history. I’m using this podcast space to put those documentaries out for anyone who might be interested (5th Year History students take note). I’m also going to use it to release extended versions of the edited interviews that were used in those documentaries. These interviews would often to run 30 minutes plus and only a fraction were ever broadcast. It’s for the History nerds, enjoy.
