My parents always said that I would spend my life in school if I could, and as a Business and Law instructor at a small community college, I guess they were right. Outside of that world though, I am a voracious consumer of History. I want to know more and want to meet people that are as excited about history as I am. My goal with this topic agnostic podcast is to allow historians a platform to talk about their work, research, and authorship in a positive and inclusive space. I hope you will join me on this adventure, from one keen student to another.

Hello, my name is Shaun Patterson, and welcome to The Irish Library. In this podcast series, I want to tackle a whole host of interesting topics around Irish History and Culture. As a Canadian of partial Irish Descent living in the Maritimes, I have always been keenly interested in Canada’s Irish diaspora and the indelible mark that these early settlers left on our lifestyle, music, and culture. Thanks for listening and I look forward to having you along for the journey
