This week Kevin tells Jason all about the Parson family of Birr, Co. Offaly. They built the worlds biggest telescopes and changed the field of astronomy, were early contributors to photography and built one of the oldest surviving dark rooms, invented the steam turbine revolutionising sea travel and were involved in the worlds first car fatality. They got around. Plus some shite talk about Jason's homeschooling, Air (the band not the gas) and David Fincher.
