  • Summary

  • Audra and Elisa dive into a very recent method of institutionalized oppression in Ireland, the complicity between the state and the Catholic Church, and how changing the law is never the end of the story. This episode pairs best with learning the hard truths about our history and listening to the song “Irish Eyes” by Rose Betts on repeat.
