Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE’s flagship radio history show last week dedicated a portion of their programme to the work of the Andersonville Irish Podcast. I chatted with the show’s host Myles Dungan about the prison and the Irish experience there, along with what the project is revealing about wider emigration. One of the letters we discovered associated with the Andersonville Irish was also read out by an actor. The segment has now been released as a podcast, so if you have a few minutes to spare, you can check it out by clicking here or at the link below!
