Episode 99 - Oisín and Saint Patrick - Post Show Chats

You might hear mention this time of year of the man who saved the Pagan Irish and brought them the Good News. But not all of the Pagan Irish were happy about that. The ancient warriors of Ireland had their own code. A code of generosity, hospitality, and courage. In other words, they were terrible sinners. This is our chat about that conversation. We look back and talk about who Oisín was and the story we all know of him (at least here in Ireland) The story of Oisin and Tír na Nóg - if you don’t know that we tell it in episode 9 https://open.spotify.com/episode/4qwRuro9Di55bc17yq5fLN?si=dfYHgEqCSqmrw6VfGj63Ag When this warrior poet, Oisín, met a slave-turned-monk, known as St.Patrick, they talked. Their discussion was about gods and heroes, about the nature of truth, about how Patrick went toe-to-toe with the Devil herself, and, how Oisín proved his word once and for all.
