As well as charting the events of the rebellion, the programme examines events leading up to and after the Rising and places a new importance on the role of Irish Americans in the struggle.

"This email is long overdue - I'm a huge fan of yours...absolutely love reading your articles - missing them on Wednesdays is not an option. Based on the truth but mixed with humour. I suddenly realized I'm not the only one who enjoys reading your articles - traveling home on the bus this PM I sat next to a lady who started reading your column today, "The Duck Whisperer" - well this woman was laughing so loud that tears were beginning to roll down her face...she had to stop reading to compose herself. I smiled and turned to her and said, "Her columns are great aren't they?" She simply nodded her head, wiped her tears and continued reading. Keep them coming Linda...they're greatttt
