Podcasts

I believe in the power of podcasts. That’s why I am a podcaster. But it also means that I give podcasters free reign to use my music in their shows. That’s typically referred to as a Creative Commons license. Podcasters may use my music as long as they credit me and my website. They can find my music listed on the Podsafe Music Network.

Podcaster, while I don’t require that you contact me in order to play my music in your podcast, I do ask that you email me once it’s been played. Because I want to tell my fans about your show!

Marc Gunn’s Podcasts

Here’s the latest list of my podcasts, in order of popularity.

Twice-monthly Celtic and Irish music by the best independent Celtic music groups. Irish drinking songs, Scottish folk songs, bagpipes, music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Nova Scotia, Galacia, Australia and the United States. Hosted by Marc Gunn.

Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
This is by far my most-popular podcast with over 9,000 subscribers and 40,000 downloads each month. It features Irish and Celtic music from some of the hottest independent Celtic groups around the globe.

Renaissance Festival Podcast
Ever been to a Renaissance Festival? This show highlight artists performing at Renaissance festivals each week. It also hosts the annual Renaissance Festival Awards.

Marc Gunn’s Pub Songs Podcast
I started this podcast with plans to feature pub songs, but it evolved into my personal podcast. It features live performances, thoughts, some favorite bands, and just all-around amusement.

Cat Lovers Podcast
Do you love cats? I started this podcast to promote my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers, but it kinda grew beyond that featuring cat news, humour, stories, health tips and much more.

MarcSongs’s Podcast
I started this podcast with the intent to feature just Irish songs. But I got carried away and decided to open it up to all my music. Once a week, you can download a free 128kbps MP3. Course if you enjoy it, I just ask that you consider buying an album or buy the upgraded 192kbps MP3 file.

Some of My Favorite Podcasts to Listen To

Slice of Sci Fi
All the Sci Fi media news that’s worth a word, broken up into features on movies, TV, plus interviews.

The Signal – Firefly Podcast
I fell in love with Firefly the summer before the Big Damn Movie. The show features some absolutely brilliant writing and strong character development. Plus a lot of snarky humor. It is one of my two favorite TV shows of all time. (Red Dwarf being the other)

Cleveland Celtic Podcast
Wendy Donahue provides an outstanding podcast of Celtic music with a Celtic rock bent. She also highlights artists in the Cleveland area.

The FuMP
The Funny Music Project features three comedy songs that you can download for free every week from some of the top funny music artists.

No Longer Active Podcasts

Sadly, I ran out of time to do all the podcasts I enjoy publishing. So I cut back to my four most-popular ones. The following have all podfaded. Doesn’t mean I won’t publish something to them in the future. But for now, there’s no new content.

A Brobdingnagian Minute
The podcast of the Brobdingnagian Bards. Once a month, we ramble on about whatever’s on our minds and then we play a few songs in each show. It’s the next best thing to a live show that you’ll find.

Your Weekly Irish Stout
I started this podcast for my friend Jack Murphy. It features Irish songs, pirate songs, and sea shanties from Captain Black Jack Murphy and Irish Stout. It is currently podfaded, but we still hope to bring it back one day.

How I Got Into Podcasts

It was 2005 when I was listening to the DragonPage WingingIt and The Signal Podcast (Firefly) and fell in love with podcasts. That’s when the addiction began. I recorded a podcast in March, but scraped it. A couple months later, the bug hit me again, and I recorded the Cat Lover’s Podcast. It was fun and easy to produce. So I started the Renaissance Festival Podcast. The next thing I knew I had a half a dozen podcasts and new ones pop up all the time.

How I Record My Podcasts
I get a lot of people asking how I do the podcasts. Here’s how.
