	Description:		On the centenary of the Big Fellow’s death, I thought you might like another (or a first) chance to hear a fascinating conversation between myself and ‘historical entertainer’ Paddy Cullivan. Paddy is currently performing his show ‘The Murder of Michael Collins’ to sold-out venues around Ireland – check out https://www.paddycullivan.com/ for info. Enjoy! Original show notes: As well as being the front man of the Camembert Quartet (Late Late Show house band), Paddy Cullivan is an ‘historical entertainer’. What is that, you might ask? Well, he cleverly brings together all of the things he loves - history, music, comedy and the visual arts – and combines them into stage shows where he takes big historical stories and makes them accessible and entertaining, while also challenging the ‘accepted narratives’ of these pieces of history. His latest show focuses on the murder of Michael Collins at Beal na Blath – if you’re an Irish history buff you’re going to love (or hate!) hearing all about that, but we also get deep into other fascinating areas like conspiracy theories, 9/11, JFK’s assassination, and why, as someone who knows so much about history, he is a deeply cynical about how the Ukraine War is being handled politically. Its deep stuff, but as ever on this podcast, full of great craic. COMEDY We’re just over one year into The Mario Rosenstock podcast now and every week we have brought you a brand new and exclusive comedy sketch. So we thought it was a nice time to go back over some of our very first comedy sketches and pick one our favourites to play you again. The one we have picked for you this week was inspired by a twitter moment that became very famous during one of the last lockdowns. Do you remember when Tony Holohan was out and about in Dublin city in his car one sunny evening and he got an awful shock when he saw large crowds gathering, having what he described as ‘a major open air party’? He was shocked and appalled what he witnessed and he sent out a very angry tweet to that effect. It got us thinking about what that kind of, lets say ‘paternal’ approach, might lead to in the future… GET IN TOUCH: https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/ https://twitter.com/giftgrubmario mariorosenstock@gmail.com The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
