It\\u2019s August 11th. This day in 1973, a group of Irish-Americans known as \\u201cThe Fort Worth Five\\u201d are caught up in the court system, accused of running guns to Ireland to aid the independence movement.

\\n\\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Nate Lavey to discuss how regular Irish-Americans got involved in the freedom fight, and the long political and financial nexus between groups like NORAID in the United States and the IRA in Ireland.

\\n\\n

Nate is the host of the excellent new podcast \\u201cForeign Agent,\\u201d which traces the roots of NORAID and Irish-American activism.
