What makes a nation tick?
For some it’s power, for others poetry. There's definitely a drum beating in the Irish — a kind of rhythm that can lift a room. In this episode, Ben Keaton wrestles with a label he never asked for and slowly came to wear with pride. It’s about identity, intensity, and the strange business of discovering who you are — before you’ve realised it.
Dirty Stupid Wisdom is a podcast of comic essays written and read by Ben Keaton — actor, writer, Olivier Award-winner, and tireless adventurer. Each episode is under 20 minutes and perfectly formed for late-night listening.
Dirty Stupid Wisdom Litter: Irish identity, emotional chaos, eccentric charm, unsolicited diagnosis, wildness as a gift, heartbeats and heritage, rage and rhythm.
