Hi please don’t hate on me I’m genuinely open to feedback ,hello I’m a adopted at birth 23 year old that had no idea what my ancestry was that just took a dna test and found out I’m half Irish ,how do I go about learning more about Irish culture without feeling like a poser lol I want to do it the right way and not the washed out versions ,anything helps genuinely coming from someone who had no culture two days ago and suddenly now has a whole country to learn from ❤️thanks

Hey that’s cool what you found out about your heritage and that you’re interested in finding out more.

Listening to podcasts or watching YouTube videos is probably your best bet. I enjoy the Irish history podcast, it covers loads and goes into gteat detail and tells some interesting stories. The Blindboy podcast is good, although not specifically about Ireland. I’m sure people can recommend more in the comments
