Magic Taste of Butterbeer, Beer, Beer
And now for something not quite completely different. Every week, I play a free video show called Coffee with The Celtfather. Last week I featured "Sci Fi Drinks". I parodied the song "Beer, Beer, Beer" with a Harry Potter twist. You can hear the entire show in this podcast episode.
I introduce a new listener comments feature. I share a tip on how you can promote your favorite band with streaming music. And I rant on impossible goals and why we need them. After the Coffee show, you can hear Celtic music from Catherine Koehler, Syncopaths, The Selkie Girls, and Kilted Kings.

What’s on tap for IMS 2019? Matthew Olwell, Maeve Gilchrist, Katie McNally, Andrew Finn Magill, Guillermo del Val, Rolf Wagels, and Brian O’Donovan offer a taste of the rich stories slated for Season Three. Listen.
A Retreat to Rejuvenate Your Soul...
Ciara Cullen knew the day she went there that Clare Island was where she needed to be. So she built a life around everything she loves about the island and about what it has to offer. And now she offers that experience to all who can appreciate such a back-to-earth life. Listen to Erin's Isle.
