Savannah Irish Podcast, a Savannah-based series exploring Irish history, culture, and influence in the American South, will release a special episode on February 5, 2026, featuring Arthur Edward Rory Guinness, 4th Earl of Iveagh, author of Guinness: A Family Succession and a descendant of the legendary Guinness brewing family.

The episode arrives amid renewed global interest in the Guinness family following the recent Netflix release House of Guinness, offering audiences a timely and thoughtful counterpoint grounded in history and personal reflection.

In the conversation, Guinness discusses Guinness: A Family Succession, examining Irish identity, legacy, and the evolving meaning of heritage in the modern world. Drawing on both personal history and scholarly insight, he offers a rare perspective on one of Ireland’s most iconic families — and what its story reveals about Ireland’s global cultural footprint today.

Hosted by Tara Reese, Savannah Irish Podcast has become an important voice in Irish storytelling, highlighting the enduring connections between Ireland and Savannah, Georgia — one of America’s most historically Irish cities.  

“This conversation goes far beyond a famous name,” said Reese. “At a moment when popular culture is revisiting the Guinness story, Edward, "Ned", brings depth, nuance, and context — offering listeners a richer understanding of legacy, responsibility, and Irish identity.”

The episode explores themes including:

• The modern relevance of Irish legacy and lineage

• The Guinness family beyond brewing

• The personal responsibility of carrying a historic name

Savannah Irish Podcast Season Three features 25 episodes airing between September 2025 and March 2026, spotlighting historians, authors, Irish-born Savannahians, musicians, and cultural leaders connected to Irish life and influence in Savannah and beyond — with distinguished guests and some delightfully questionable ones.

The Edward Guinness episode will be available February 5, 2026, on all major podcast platforms.
