The Scullions are coming, and we aren’t coming quietly. Welcome to It’s a Scullion Thing, the brand new comedy podcast diving headfirst into the glorious madness of a real, chaotic, and legendary West Belfast family.</p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by Brona Scullion, eldest grandchild of the iconic Bridie the Brave, this show is part Irish storytelling, part therapy, and 100% emotional damage.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>70s Belfast: Curfews, Raids, and 11 Kids</h3><p>Transport yourself to the 1970s Troubles. Between power cuts and rubber bullets, one chain smoking matriarch ruled 11 children with a slipper in one hand and a stare that could curdle milk. We don’t know whether to be impressed or book trauma counselling. She kept a feral brood alive through British Army raids, mystery pregnancies, and screaming matches.</p><p><br></p><p>Peace was never an option, but dinner was always on the table.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3><br></h3><h3>What to Expect:</h3><p>This isn't your soft, nostalgic Irish memoir. This is Shameless meets Peaky Blinders, but with thicker Belfast accents. Tune in for wild true stories including:</p><ul><li><strong>The \"Borrowed\" Bally:</strong> A botched hijacking attempt that went south.</li><li><strong>The Stew vs. The Baby:</strong> A suspected burst appendix that turned into a miraculous birth and a burnt dinner.</li><li><strong>The Rubber Bullet Chronicles:</strong> Living through the history of Northern Ireland with a dark sense of humour.</li><li><strong>Sibling Rivalry:</strong> Intense enough to be regulated by international law.</li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3>Is This Podcast For You?</h3><p>If you grew up in a big Irish family where shouting was a love language, if you’ve ever hidden from your Ma behind the sofa, or if you laugh at your own family trauma to keep from crying, congratulations. You’ve found your people.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you're in Belfast, Dublin, London, or New York, if you have a healthy obsession with dysfunctional families and wild true stories, pull up a chair. It’s messy, it’s mental......<strong>It’s a Scullion Thing. </strong></p><p><br></p><p>#IrishPodcast #Belfast #TheTroubles #TrueStories #DarkComedy #IrishHumour #WestBelfast #FamilyTrauma</p>","author_name":"Brona Scullion"}
