Bonus Weekend Podcast: Irish Artists and Authors

The Leonard Lopate Show | Mar 18, 2017

Yesterday was Saint Patrick’s Day, and for our Bonus Weekend Podcast, we’ve brought you three interviews with Irish artists that we hope you’ll enjoy. In 2004 Leonard spoke with the legendary actor Maureen O’Hara about her memoir ‘Tis Herself. In 2013 Colum McCann talked about his latest novel TransAtlantic. And in 2014 Roddy Doyle talked about his novel The Guts. And if you are looking for more Irish literature, why not join our book club? We are reading the James Joyce classic Ulysses up until Bloomsday. Find out more information here.
