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.

Alexander Randall 5th emailed: “Tell your bands that the podcast WORKS! I am buying everything I can find from Talisk, Sliotar and The Flying Toads. I never heard of any of them before the podcast. Now I am on iTunes buying stuff from all three. It works. You are turning people on to bands and we are BUYING. BTW – I listen to the podcast while commuting. I live on an off shore island off St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands and I listen while riding my boat to work… Any other listeners who are listening in a BOAT? sláinte agad-sa !”
KARL KELLEY emailed a photo: “My students should thank you, listening to this music probably result in a 3 to 5 point increase in their average grade because I’m in a good mood. Hope all is well hope your daughter is getting better”
Travis Senzaki emailed me from his phone: “Hi Marc, Greetings from Akita, Japan! I enjoyed listening to this week's Calm Before the Storm as I was taking advantage of a calm between snowstorms here to take my 3 year-old son skiing for the first time. The podcast kept us company through lonely mountain roads and snow-blanketed rice paddies. Here's a picture of the view we enjoyed to go with the music. Thanks for all that you do to bring this amazing music to us each week! Slainte”
