Description

Catholic nuns and priests led Boston's anti-war movement during the Vietnam era. A new podcast tells the story of the lengths many Irish Catholics went through to protest the war — including breaking into official buildings to steal draft cards.



The Common spoke to Host and Producer Brendan Patrick Hughes about his new podcast  "Divine Intervention."
