EP30: The Beginning of the End Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

In 1991, the world suffered through an everyday fear that at any moment, a flash of light would explode into the sky and darkness would fall across life as they knew it.This impending doom was caused by the Cold between America and the Soviet Union.Both feared at any moment, the ego of the other would lead to the push of a button and an atomic bomb would travel across the worlds skies.This fear was very much based in reality and fact.Just 46 years before the end of the Cold War, the world witnessed the utter destruction and lack of bias an atomic bomb was capable of.In Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, an atomic bomb known as the Little Boy Bomb, was dropped by the American military during world war 2 and killed almost a quarter of a million people and flattened two well built and modern cities.The signs of the destruction of the bomb can still be seen in the cities today.The little boy bomb came about as a result of the research conducted in what was known as The Manhattan Project.But what if I told you, the bomb's life nor its power began in Manhattan.What if I told you that in fact, the bomb's conception began in Dungarvan, County Waterford.The music for this episode was written, preformed and produced by Ryan O’Halloran.The story was written and researched by Oran.If you enjoyed this episode and want to help support the podcast, you can buy us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirish.We the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.

Show notes

Think of all the Comic Book heroes you know.There’s Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, Storm and Captain Marvel for examples.These’s are all fictional characters.No basis in reality.No fact behind the fiction.They are just stories for children, young adults and those who are lucky enough to hold onto elements of imagination as they grow older and take on the worlds responsibilities.But what if this wasn’t always true.What if one of the hero’s sketched onto cheap paper, who’s face was first crafted on a series of scribbles drawn on the back of a beer mat during a drunken discussion had a story so dramatic, elaborate and shocking that it is easier to dampen the tale by placing it in the fiction isles.Would you believe the stories?Would you prefer the undliuted version of this life?It’s the life of a man from Wexford which answers these questions for us.This is his story.The music for this episode was written, preformed and produced by Ryhan O’Halloran.This story was research and scripted by Oran.We the Irish is an Ireland Loves production.If you want to help to support this podcast, you can buy us a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/wetheirish See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
