How would you like our tenth anniversary show on July 23rd to be a THREE HOUR CELTIC MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA featuring some of the best music that was ever played in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast since it was released on July 28, 2005?

At last count, we were $14 away from reaching the next Milestone on Patreon. $250 per episode is a big deal. With four episodes per month, that is approximately $750 per month income that is coming to the podcast (after Patreon gets their well-deserved cut). The show costs about $730 per month to produce. That means, we are currently in the black.

That alone is a good reason to celebrate and to release a Two-Hour Celtic music special. However, my goal with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is to do as much good for our Celtic community as possible.

Sure it may be too soon to start donating money to Celtic non-profits, but I believe in supporting non-profits. So when we reach that goal, I will start donating 10% of the money that comes in from Patreon to Celtic non-profits. I've donated well-over $20,000 since this show began. I want to donate even more money this year. I can only do it with your help.

Your Celtic Music Challenge

I really want to hit this next Milestone as soon as possible. But it's going very slowly. So I decided to create a Celtic Music Challenge to reach this big goal. So here goes:

• IF we hit the $250 Milestone by July 19th
• And IF we can get 30 voicemail comments wishing the show a Happy 10 Years,
• THEN I will release a THREE HOUR CELTIC MUSIC SPECIAL

Not just two hours. THREE. And not just any special. This one will be a 10 year retrospective of all the awesome music that has been featured in the podcast.

Can you imagine all the incredible Celtic music that you will enjoy and make you smile?

We're just $14 away from this next Milestone. It should be fairly easy to reach that goal. I mean just three new Song Hengers, or fourteen Patrons. Heck two Superstars would easily do the trick too!

After that, all I need are the voicemails. Call 678-CELT-POD (that's 678-235-8763). Or you can record an audio bite on your phone and email it to celticpodcast@gmail.com.

Your message can be as simple as “This is Marc Gunn. Congrats to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast for 10 awesome years!”

Or you can tell a short story that includes:

– How you found the podcast?
– When you started listening?
– What bands you fell in love with through the show?
– What your favorite episodes are?
– Or a cool place that you listened to the podcast?

It's pretty simple. And remember THREE HOURS of CELTIC MUSIC!

Just keep your eye on that goal. Give me a call and make a pledge today!

This will be EPIC!
