On this episode, the presenters discuss the 1922 Postal Strike. This important, but largely overlooked, event was one of the first major industrial disputes faced by the new Provisional Government of the Irish Free State. The strike was complicated by the fact that it occurred during the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>In the second part of the show, we discuss the growth of graphic novels about Irish History with author and illustrator Gerry Hunt. We also discuss his latest novel, 1913 &#8211; Larkin&#8217;s Labour War. Gerry&#8217;s previous graphic novels include In Dublin City, Streets of Dublin, Blood upon the Rose, Draugr in Dublin City and At War with the Empire.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F109705975\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5272\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/soundcloud.com\/nearfm\/the-history-show-episode-20\/download.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('5272','https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/soundcloud.com\/nearfm\/the-history-show-episode-20\/download.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/listenagain.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/playbutton-443.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/soundcloud.com\/nearfm\/the-history-show-episode-20\/download.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?powerpress_pinw=9668-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nearfm\/soundcloud.com\/nearfm\/the-history-show-episode-20\/download.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"download.mp3\">Download<\/a> (0.0KB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/listenagain.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode 20 of the Irish History Show on Near FM presented by Cathal Brennan and John Dorney.
