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.

Ben Doran messaged on Facebook: “When I received the “music only version” of the “The Gaelic Blessing” podcast, I was immediately reminded of one of the most moving arrangements of The Irish Blessing that I have heard – – by Bill O'Connor and Larry Theiss on their – “Traditional And Original” recording.
I am getting ready to have a day off tomorrow and will get to chores and baking for the “Wild Hog in the Woods” usual Friday night concert that we host at a neighborhood center here in Madison. While I am mixing and baking, I'll surely/certainly listen to that “Gaelic Blessing” program in its entirety. Thanks!”
Ryan S. emailed some photos: “Hi Marc. I love the Celtic Women episodes!!
I am currently building trails outside of austin while I listen to the cast.the spring flowers are already out!”
Shel O'Toole emailed a photo: “Hi Marc, As I'm listening today I'm promoting the International Women's Day event I organised for the Ballarat and District Irish Association. The all women trio I play with, Skedaddle is performing on the day. I'm also looking at ways to promote my newly released poetry book Wildsong. I'll be officially launching it at the IWD lunch.
I'm loving the Celtic Women special. There's so many fabulous Irish women singers and musicians. Noirin Ni Rian, the sean – ós singer and chanter, Sandra Joyce singer and bodhran player are two amazing teachers I met at the Irish World Music Summer School – Blas, many years ago. Niamh Parsons & Delores Keane are firm favourites & I love discovering new female artists.
I'll probably go to a session on St Patrick's day and there's a band playing at one of the Irish pubs in the evening I want to see. Sliánte”
