E293 | The time my parents encountered paramilitaries in Belfast

In this gripping account, the narrator's parents unknowingly find themselves in a perilous situation during a visit to Belfast in the 1990s. As they traverse a Protestant neighborhood in Northern Ireland, their Catholic identity becomes apparent, setting off a chain of events that leads to a chilling encounter with the Ulster Defence Association, a notorious Loyalist paramilitary group. With a sense of impending danger, quick thinking from a local friend ultimately saves them from a potentially dire situation. This true story highlights the tensions and divisions of "The Troubles" and serves as a harrowing reminder of the conflict's impact on everyday life.
