Greetings

I have to gush a moment. I got a call yesterday from a radio station in Arizona. They wanted to understand why and how I have been successful with music podcasting with all of the licensing problems involved. (You can read about that in our FAQ) At the end of the discussion, this station manager began raving about how professional the podcast sounded.

I have zero official radio experience. My show was designed off of my limited knowledge of music production, listening to the radio, and determining what I like and don’t like about radio. So to hear that I’m doing it right, and not just that, but making a professional sounding show, is just awesome to hear, especially from a radio station manager.

Best of all, I can continue to do things that most radio programs don’t, like play the top 20 songs from one of our patrons of the podcast. Stephen Bernhardt is another Patron of the Podcast who shared his top 20 songs featured on the show with awesome Celtic music from Tania Opland, Sligo Rags, The Wee Heavies, Celtic Stone, SeaStar, Serious Kitchen, Oona McOuat, George Murphy, Young Dubliners, New Shilling, Martyn Wylde, Emerald Rose, Willie McCullouch, Ockham's Razor, Susan Hamlin, Brobdingnagian Bards, Nick Hennessey, Jed Marum, Arthur Hinds, Sora.

I finished the basic itinerary for the Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Skye. It's not yet on the website. Hopefully, I'll get it up next week. But one person shared her travel thoughts about Skye. So I thought I'd ask you. Have you been to the Isle of Skye? What did you love? Dislike? What should we do? Just reply to the email with your thoughts.

Finally, I am performing tonight on Concert Window. It's a free show. And I will be taking song requests. You can watch at 8 PM Central/9 PM Eastern. Click here to follow my channel.
