Episode 9
*Bring bring*... the Hotline has a caller! Grandma Joan is on the line to tell us all about The Irish Troubles and her experience growing up in Belfast.
We learn how the English tried (and kind of successfully) used religion to drive a wedge between the Irish population during a time of civil unrest. We ALSO learn how Grandma crossed the Irish boarder to get her favourite dessert, and how she faked nylon stockings during wartime. Phroawh it's a bumper episode!
If you enjoy listening please send us a message on Instagram so we can show Grandma what a radio star she is!!!!! www.instagram.com/storyhotlinepodcast/
