Politics, Pubs, Parades, + the Parish is a fun - and funny - series of interviews with people you most likely know, telling stories that seem to get better with age. From the early forays into politics, the St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans, and of course, the crazy bar stories and more.

Stacy McCormack, founder and parter of TWENTYTWENTY Public Affairs, hosts the show.
