Incoming US Vice President JD Vance is a self-professed ‘Scots-Irish Hillbilly’. He first made waves in US politics with his bestselling memoir ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ on his poor upbringing, which was later adapted into a film. How did JD Vance get from the Appalachians to the White house, what does he have to do with Ulster Scots, and how important is the Ulster Scots community in the US? Today’s Indo Daily comes from our sister podcast The BelTel. Host: Ciarán Dunbar Guest: Professor Liam Kennedy
