Season 2, Episode 13: Jane Eyre - ft. My Resident Spooky Friend Quinn!
<p>Happy Halloween, Friends!! Welcome to our Spooky Holiday edition of Not Strictly History! And an extra special welcome to our second guest on the podcast - one of my dearest friends in the world: Quinn! We met 7 years ago on a study-abroad tour of England, Ireland, and Wales and have been fast friends ever since. She is hysterical, creative, and my very own resident Spooky Girl. Today we are sitting down to discuss Charlotte Bronte's classic novel, "Jane Eyre." It may not be your first thought when it comes to topics for a Halloween episode, but don't let its status as a classic novel fool you - this novel is full of the dark, the gothic, the supernatural, and downright spooky! While you wend your way through the gray halls and haunting laughter, a gentle love story unfolds. </p> <p>Join us for our very first Halloween episode as we dive into this classic gothic novel! Happy Halloween!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jordan-parkinson9/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jordan-parkinson9/support</a>

Season 2, Episode 12: The Irish Potato Famine - "Remember Your Soul And Your Liberty"
<p>Welcome to the longest-ever episode of Not Strictly History and a story from history that absolutely deserves to be told again and again. This is the episode that I have been hinting at for several weeks now: I started researching this and things got heavy very quickly. Not only that, there are so MANY layers here. I wanted to do the story justice. So, after a lot of extra research and weeks of writing, here is the episode for you. It is a story of death, disease, and hardship, of millions of people that are now perhaps lost to history. But it is also a story of resilient people with a rich culture and vibrant hearts. I cannot wait for you to hear it!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Important Links:</p> <p><a href="https://strokestownpark.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The National Famine Museum </a>- Strokestown Park</p> <p><a href="www.ighm.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ireland's Great Hunger Museum</a></p> <p>The Jeanie Johnston -<a href="www.jeaniejohnston.ie" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> Visit a Coffin Ship</a></p> <p>EPIC- <a href="www.epicchq.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Irish Emigration Museum</a> located in the heart of Dublin</p> <p><a href="https://nationalfamineway.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The National Famine Way</a> - follow the path of the 1,490</p> <p><br></p> <p>More to look into:</p> <p>- Studies show that modern-day Irish descended from those who suffered during the Famine are more susceptible to mental illness and alcoholism due to changes in their DNA that result from the Famine</p> <p>- There was a very significant amount of charitable donations given to Ireland from countries all over the world</p> <p>- One of the most potent charitable actions was from the Cherokee Native Americans of Oklahoma, USA. Only a few years previously, they had been driven from their ancestral lands in the southern United States and forced to walk what is now known as the Trail of Tears. Many of them died. Upon hearing about the suffering in Ireland, this tribe donated $170 for relief aid. This is the equivalent of $6,380.99 today - a massive amount for people still starving and struggling themselves. A beautiful statue exists in Ireland to commemorate this wonderful gesture, and to this day the Cherokee Nation has strong ties with the government of Ireland.
