Ely Sánchez replied to the Celtic Music Magazine: "I adore Celtic music, my daughters are Celtic descendants, we really enjoy the music you send me, I do a little exercise listening to this beautiful music, or on the internet looking at pictures, this music makes me feel very happy, thank you for sharing it!  greetings Marc, from México city!"

Jim Whitfield commented on Patreon: "Yay! A Workout Mix!! Putting it on while I work now! Back in the Before-Times, I always listened to the podcast while at the gym. I'm very very behind in episodes now because I'm very very behind in exercise. I _will_ do a long bike ride this week and I will listen (again)!"

Brad Platt emailed a photo: "I’m listening to the podcast now and making Banana Wuffins. It is my banana muffin mix made in my trusty waffle iron. The counter is a mess, but the wuffins are TASTY.

I love the podcast and listen to it almost every day as I deliver fence products all over the state of Utah.

I’ve always been a fan of anything Irish or Scottish and was rather disappointed when I did my genealogy and realized I was English and Scandinavian! But I figure I’ve just enjoyed the land in between the two!!!

Thanks for making the podcast. Don’t ever go away!!!"
