Empire with me, Anita Arnim. I'm me. William. Dribble. Now, every so often, uh, William and I are called upon to read something that we are so
utterly mesmerised by that we ring each other up multiple times a day to say, Did you get to this bit yet? Oi, should you read this bit? And also, variously bloody Harry writes really, well I don't think I'll ever write anything again. Our very special guest, I I'm delighted to say is Patrick Raddenke. And if you have been watching Disney and if you've been listening to our podcast Both of these beautiful things come together because Patrick's marvelous book, Say Nothing about the troubles has taken both TV and the literary world by storm. And it it is a very fine work, Patrick. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for coming on. I'm so delighted to be with you. We should sort of say what we have been talking about to lead us to this. So I mean if you have been following this podcast and if you haven't heard previous episodes, I urge you to do so. We have been starting from the very earliest point of the history of Ireland just to explain
really where we are today, which is the troubles. That's what we're going to be talking about. Because the trouble, you just have to say the troubles, and everybody in Britain knows what you're talking about. But we started off with Tudor England talking about the plantation system, we talked about the Easter rising, the civil war, and now we are in the bit that perhaps most of you remember. Or your parents remember and have talked about a time when there was not Just. Instability and violence.
