Leprechaun Day: It's Not When You Think It Should Be

Season 1, Episode 66, Mar 18, 2021, 02:48 AM

You might think, and rightfully so, that Leprechaun Day would fall on March 17, but it doesn't.

Besides green beer, shamrocks, and pots of gold, leprechauns are also prevalently represented on St. Patrick’s Day. But their day actually falls on May 13.

Why? What's Leprechaun Day's origin story? And what is leprechaunism?

That's some of what we explore in this episode, in addition to leprechaun folklore and what to listen for if you're in search of leprechauns.

And no Irish-centric episode would be complete without ending with an Irish blessing so we include not one but two of those as well.
