A lot of new content to enjoy this weekend! For your listening pleasure some new Irish tunes from the Philadelphia Ceili Group and another double helping of Bride of the Tomb from our friends in the Spare Change Library. Meanwhile check out current events, circa 1899, with an issue of Collier’s Weekly, or read a shocking story out of Chicago in the Chicago Ledger. Another Happy Days issue also makes an appearance, this one a story of a perilous escape from a blazing fire! We also see significant progress in describing the Barry-Hayes papers, as we hit a milestone by reaching Series 33, the papers and letters of William Jonas Keen. Enjoy the crisp evenings and don’t forget to read, read, read!
