Coucou everyone!
Come with us to the Emerald Isle of Ireland as Catherine tells Kate about a pirate queen who kicked her husband out of the house, chatted in Latin with Queen Elizabeth I, pillaged towns and ships, and fended off privateers while out at sea less than an hour after giving birth. Then Kate tells Cat about an Irish tradition called keening - a powerful cry sung at funerals and protests, and shares a darling Irish word. Now we're craving a Guinness.
