The Demon Drink

The Demon Drink podcast looks at the serious and not so serious sides of Ireland's complicated and often messy relationship with alcohol down the ages through the lens of its rich literary history. Co-hosts Lucy Cogan (Lecturer in English Literature) and Alice Mauger (Post-doctoral Fellow in the History of Medicine) cover topics like the medicinal effects of whiskey, the attraction of 'spirits grocers' at the turn of the twentieth century, the place of the shebeen in Irish culture, and the rollicking debauchery of the Georgian era.
