Originally it was very much a localized event that was pretty much exclusively celebrated in Ireland, but today St Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in America and much of the rest of the world by Irish and non-Irish alike, so I thought it would be a good idea to feature some old time radio shows appropriate for the day.
