Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to quickly tell you about some others.

My name's Andy Martin and I'm the editor of a team of podcast producers at the BBC in Northern Ireland.

It's a job I really love because we get to tell the stories that really matter to people here,

but which also resonate and apply to listeners around the world.

And because the team has such a diverse

range of skills and strengths, we've trained journalists, people who love digging through archives,

we've got drama and even comedy experts. We really can do those stories justice. So if you

like this podcast, head to BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more fascinating stories from

all around the UK.
