<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I explore the ruins of a Temple and the intriguing concept of societal collapse and its relevance to Irish history.

Join me as I explore if events like the Great Hunger can be considered a societal collapse!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out my new podcast 'Transatlantic: An Irish American History Podcast' with Damian Shiels https://linktr.ee/transatlanticpod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Become a member at &lt;a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory"&gt;https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
