25:16 – TODAY’S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS
Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations. We don’t see everything. Instead we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join me with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts, blogs, videos, and photos.
Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com.
Come hike with me on the Isle of Skye in 2027.

Finally, remember: summer is a reminder of what's at stake. Longer days, warmer nights, and the beauty of the natural world that Celtic music has celebrated for centuries.
Scientists are united: human activity is changing our climate, and we're already feeling it. But here's what the headlines don't always tell you. We have the tools to fight back. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. You can reduce your waste, choose cleaner energy, and push your elected leaders to act. The outdoors we love, the rivers, the coastlines, the long summer evenings, are worth protecting.
Start a conversation today. The facts are out there, and the future is ours to shape.
