Alkebulanians,
A special guest for all of you and a great conversation about a forgotten aspect of African history.
Is the “Irish-Jamaican” accent the ultimate proof of a suppressed global history?
I sat down with Irish politician Thomas Gould to deconstruct the viral video that shook social media.
This episode dives into the brutal reality of Ireland as the British Empire’s first testing ground for colonisation and traces the shared lineage of struggle that connects the streets of Cork to the shores of Jamaica.
From Sinn Féin’s history of resistance to the shared trauma of 1960s London, we explore why reclaiming this “stolen timeline” is the key to modern global unity.
