It’s a Scullion Thing | Dark Irish Comedy & West Belfast Stories

The Ultimate Irish Family Podcast: Chaos, Craic, and Survival.

Brace yourself. The Scullions are coming, and we aren’t coming quietly. Welcome to It’s a Scullion Thing, the brand new comedy podcast diving headfirst into the glorious madness of a real, chaotic, and legendary West Belfast family.

Hosted by Brona Scullion, eldest grandchild of the iconic Bridie the Brave, this show is part Irish storytelling, part therapy, and 100% emotional damage.

70s Belfast: Curfews, Raids, and 11 Kids

Transport yourself to the 1970s Troubles. Between power cuts and rubber bullets, one chain smoking matriarch ruled 11 children with a slipper in one hand and a stare that could curdle milk. We don’t know whether to be impressed or book trauma counselling. She kept a feral brood alive through British Army raids, mystery pregnancies, and screaming matches.

Peace was never an option, but dinner was always on the table.

What to Expect:

This isn't your soft, nostalgic Irish memoir. This is Shameless meets Peaky Blinders, but with thicker Belfast accents. Tune in for wild true stories including:

• The "Borrowed" Bally: A botched hijacking attempt that went south.
• The Stew vs. The Baby: A suspected burst appendix that turned into a miraculous birth and a burnt dinner.
• The Rubber Bullet Chronicles: Living through the history of Northern Ireland with a dark sense of humour.
• Sibling Rivalry: Intense enough to be regulated by international law.

Is This Podcast For You?

If you grew up in a big Irish family where shouting was a love language, if you’ve ever hidden from your Ma behind the sofa, or if you laugh at your own family trauma to keep from crying, congratulations. You’ve found your people.

Whether you're in Belfast, Dublin, London, or New York, if you have a healthy obsession with dysfunctional families and wild true stories, pull up a chair. It’s messy, it’s mental......It’s a Scullion Thing.
