Bad Bridget: S2E6 - The Irish
In the last episode of the season we talk about the tricky subject of discrimination, both against and by the Irish. Sophie Cooper details how the Irish got a reputation for drunkenness and violence across the western world, while Deirdre Cooper Owens shares her expertise on Irish women and medical treatment, discrimination and race. And while the Irish were sometimes discriminated against, they could also be racist as well, as shown in the tragic story of two immigrant sisters. Written and presented by Elaine Farrell and Leanne McCormick. // Producer: John D’Arcy. Episode 6 guests: Deirdre Cooper Owens and Sophie Cooper. Actor: Siobhán McSweeney. Music: Franziska Schroeder and Catriona Gribben. Artwork: Fiona McDonnell. Podcast funded by Ulster University Impact Accelerator Fund, AHRC.
