Are you looking to start a podcast? You will need a solid, reliable podcast host. I use Libsyn and have done so since I started podcasting 17 years ago. And yes, I tried other hosts. But I ended up losing thousands of listeners because they couldn’t keep up with the largest podcast of Celtic music in the world. That was 12 years ago, but Libsyn continues to prove themselves as the oldest and best podcast host in the world. They offer detailed and accurate stats. Incredible customer service. And they even have their own top notch podcast about the podcast industry. We need more Celtic podcasts. So why not start your own. Use the coupon code CELTIC to let them know I sent you. Go to Libsyn.com to sign up.

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast was produced by Marc Gunn, The Celtfather. The show was edited by Mitchell Petersen with Graphics by Miranda Nelson Designs.

WELCOME CELTOPHILE TO CELTIC MUSIC

* Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I’m an Atlanta  -  based musician and podcaster. You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times and chapters for each song when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. If you hear music you love, please email artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.

There are several people who sent feedback about listening to the podcast while going for their daily walk. I love to hear that.

Walking is not only good for your body. It’s also good for the environment.

I’ve been listening to the CarbonSessions podcast. those are put out by the Carbon Almanac, a book offering practical tips and how we can  take better care of our planet. It’s obviously not super practical for most of us to walk to the grocery store. That’s why I one of my rules Is if I need just  3 or 4 items I have to walk. Or bike.

In any case, I wanna encourage you to go for a walk today while you listen to the show. Take The music with you as you wake up or perhaps in the day with a delightful walk through your community

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Jorge emailed: "Hi Marc, I love the show and congrats on the recent award! Being of Spanish descent, I loved the episode you did awhile back on Spanish Celtic music and the influences. As a guitarist, I was wondering if there are any books you recommend to learn either fiddle tunes or songs in general so that I can play on solo guitar or join in on a jam session. Cheers! ~Jorge P.S. Thank you for doing the past episode on mental health!"
