Diana Stanley posted on the Facebook comments: "I listened to this show while exploring a remote park in Lawrence, Kansas. So basically, it was the perfect music choice."

Woodland Folk emailed about the Women's song episode with one word: "Amazing"

Mary Graham emailed: "Hi Mark, I’ve been listening to Celtic music since I was a kid, as it was a favorite of my dad, so I was thrilled when I recently discovered your podcast. I listen to podcasts a couple hours per day because the commute to my kids’ school is  so long I spend a couple hours per day on my cargo bike. I can’t really take a selfie while riding so you’ll just have to imagine me rocking out or Singing along to your amazing compilations while whizzing through the beautiful Dutch dunes and woods on my electric cargo bike, often with two little girls in front in the cargo part...it makes my commute SO much fun so a big thanks to you! Greetings from the Netherlands, a great Place to be despite its deficit of Celtic music."

Max Flight emailed: "I was listening to Libsyn's The Feed podcast and heard your immediately identifiable voice talking about chapters. Even though it takes more production time, I've started using chapters in my podcast. I overruled my co-hosts who thought it would make it too easy for listeners to skip content. My logic is whatever makes it easier for listeners to get value is good. If they skip a segment in an episode and concentrate on what they want to hear, great! That's better than them unsubscribing because they are tired of listening to stuff they don't care about. As for your show (which I'm very fond of, by the way), I've hoped for chapters because I could easily re-listen to songs. Sometimes I'm listening to an episode and I'd really like to go back and re-listen to a piece. Maybe it was so good I want it again. Maybe I was distracted and didn't realize until half way through that I've missed something wonderful. Chapters would make that super-easy. Anyway, just my thoughts."

Brian McReynolds emailed a photo from episode #460: “Working on some edging for our fire pit/raised planter area in our yard. Your podcast makes a somewhat tedious job more enjoyable.”
