Back home at HQ, we stretch our legs and dive into something huge hiding in plain sight: Ireland is now the most educated country in the world. But what does that really mean? From the Inhaler gig in St. Anne's Park to the brilliance of Roddy Doyle and camogie skirts, this episode celebrates the often-overlooked power of the suburbs, not just as a creative hotbed, but as the epicentre of Ireland’s education revolution. We trace how the children of small farmers became the middle class, why suburban snobbery is intellectually bankrupt, and how “kitchen table capital” helps some students stay the course. With fascinating data on dropout rates, international comparisons, and that ever-looming brain drain, this is a fresh and hopeful take on the biggest shift in Irish society since free education was introduced in 1967. Plus: why middle-class people think in years and working-class people are forced to think in minutes, and what it means for building a better Ireland.
