Tim McGarry, a six foot four comedian, joins vertically challenged Orangeman and historian Dr David Hume to look at a number of fascinating historical incidents and people in Irish history. The unlikely duo investigates well known historical events from different perspectives, to give the listener the long and the short of it.

In this fourth episode in the series they examine the life of radical socialist activist James Connolly and ask about his reputation and complicated relationship between socialism and republicanism. They debate with historians Professor Kieran Allen, Cliodhna NicBhranair and Dr Ruth Dudley Edwards.
