Episode 103: Rise Up!
Episode 103
Sunday, 5 April, 2026

This time on Royally Screwed, we’re talking about the Easter Rising, one of the key events in the lead up to Ireland's independence from the United Kingdom. Specifically, we're following the lives of Patrick Pearse and James Connolly, two of the leaders of the Rising. These two men represented different hopes for a free Ireland. Pearse: a man fueled by the revival of Irish culture. Connolly: a socialist with hopes to free the impoverished Irish from British capitalism.Subscribe for more episodes as they come.Twitter: @Denim_CreekInstagram: denimcreekproMusic:Intro/Outro: “Life O’ the Lavish” - Jules Gaia, “Action rock_full” - Radio_Parma, “Sail Away With Me” - Von Meyer, “Smooth Passenger” - White Bones, “NEW BEGINNINGS” - Lift Up Music, “Deep Diving” - Arto Kumanto, “Always There” - Table EtiquetteCopyright 2026, Denim Creek Productions
