I posted a new episode of the Celtic Christmas Podcast. You can now listen to my entire album Celtic Christmas Greetings from start to finish in that episode. I have one more episode planned in a couple weeks. Plus, I'll also have a Celtic Christmas episode from the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast that you can listen for in a few weeks.
To celebrate the holiday, I have a new Christmas Music Special that is now available. You'll get 2 Celtic Christmas CDs, Celtic Heartstring Christmas ornament and a podcast shirt for one great price. And your generosity supports this show. Follow the link in the shownotes at BestCelticMusic.net/shop for details.
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 it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.
2019 is the Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about these two exciting trips. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/
THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
I don’t know about you. But I am not a fan of corporate influence. Certainly not in politics, but also not in the music I create and share. That’s one of the reasons that the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast supports independent Celtic musicians. I want to help the artists who don’t have a record label or a giant production company behind them. They are doing everything themselves. Your support of this podcast helps with that mission.
This show is listener supported. Instead of trying to find advertisers, I've decided to let your generosity fund the creation, production, and promotion of the show. You'll get episodes before regular listeners, discounts on merch, and when we hit a milestone, you get extra special episodes, including a bonus episode of the Celtic Christmas Podcast that will come out next month.
I want to thank our Celtic Legends: Annie Lorkowski, Brakeing Down Security Podcast, Brendan Nix, Bryan Brake, Carol Baril, Chris, Darby O'Flannery, Hank Woodward, Hunter Melville, HuskerArmoury, John Bilderback, John Sharkey White, II, Johnny Berry, Kevin Long, Lynda MacNeil, Marianne Ludwig, Nancie Barnett, Ockham's Razor, Rian P Kegerreis, Scott Benson, Shawn Cali, Theresa Sullivan, Tiffany Knight

Christian Conein emailed from Germany: Hey Marc, a surprising fact is, that the Irish & Celtic music podcast is even good for your health. In February this year I had to quit smoking. Every time I think about tobacco, I take my bicycle instead, doing some sports and listening to the Irish & Celtic music podcast. Thank you so much for hours of motivation and musical explorations like Daimh. A warm Kölle Alaaf from Cologne / Germany
Pádraig Donworth emailed: Hi Marc, I wanted to thank you for this wonderful podcast, which has become a staple in my weekly music consumption and has introduced me to many great musicians.
I've listened to the show while rock climbing with friends, giving massages, and baking bread. Currently living in New Jersey but I travel a lot and will inevitably share this resource with people wherever I go. I also wanted to specifically thank you for your words of solidarity with the Jewish community in Pittsburgh.
It's heartening to hear Irish people and people of Irish ancestry take a stand against antisemitism and other forms of oppression operating in the world today. We Irish and Celtic people should look at our own history, as a people exploited in our homeland and scapegoated abroad because of bigotry and anti-immigrant sentiment, as a basis for compassion and empathy with vulnerable groups today. Here's to a world free of hatred and full of music.
Sincerely, Pádraig Donworth”
