Irish American History Podcast
Episode By: Victoria Pearson
In an episode of Transatlantic: An Irish American History Podcast, hosted by Fin Dwyer and Damian Shiels, Victoria Pearson shares insights from their PhD on the life and legacy of Dr Francis Moylan (1735–1815), Catholic Bishop of Kerry and later Cork.
The episode explores Moylan’s distinctive transatlantic connections, particularly through his brother Stephen Moylan, a prominent figure in the American Revolution.
Blending Irish and American perspectives, the discussion highlights the global dimensions of Irish history and the role of the Moylan family in shaping both Catholic Ireland and the emergence of the United States.
