The First Earl

Episode One: The First Earl,

In this episode, esteemed historian Norman Southton takes us on a journey through Harkshire’s rich — and often questionable — past. From the legend of Seamus Ó hEarcáin, dragon-rider and ginger trailblazer, to the county’s curious traditions, no stone is left unturned. 

Tune in for:

• The thrilling tale of Harkshire’s founding and its mythical dragon.
• A deep dive into local customs, including turnip tossing and the Duke’s balls.
• The perils of uttering “St Patty’s Day” in polite company.

With Norman’s dry wit and penchant for uncovering the absurd, this episode offers a captivating glimpse into the stories that shaped Harkshire — dragons and all.

 

This season of Tales of Harkshire introduces local historian - Norman Southton - of Hark University.
