It’s brotherly love and terrorism this week, as we discuss “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?”, the episode of the Simpsons that sees Homer reunited with his long lost half brother Herb Powell, voiced by Danny DeVito. For the history we talk about the bombings of Paddington and Victoria stations by the Provisional IRA, part of the Troubles of Northern Ireland. Along the way Garreth tries to find out something interesting about Oleta Adams, and Tom remembers when it was illegal to broadcast Gerry Adams’ voice on TV. Please have a listen and a share!
