    EP 12: The Insecurity of the Colonised Mind
    Aug 13 2026
    With a nod to our favourite bass player, Conor “Deego” Deegan, we look at whether continued lamenting of the treatment of Ireland by the English might be a sign of insecurity rather than confidence. With references to the World Cup, and an out-of-date plug for Simon’s history festival, there’s a lot more to talk about than just 800 years of oppression.
