It’s great having a local history podcast, well put together, and if u enjoy his podcast i would definitely recommend one of his walking tours in Belfast
Followed the podcast a while now, amazing knowledge presented in an easy to listen format. Would love to attend some of his talks and walks in person. Keep them coming Jason..
Super historical podcast. We’re fortunate that Jason is passionate about keeping the history & stories alive about Belfast. His Belfast Cemetery Tour is worth doing
This started off really well. I was eager to hear everything given the previous episodes. But please………it was a crashing bore. What a ramble!!! Your guest was interesting but surely you could have done a bit of editing. I had to give up……non the wiser too
I was late to find this podcast but I’m 10 episodes in and loving it. Very good for history fans and those interested in Belfast’s complicated history.
