10 Year Celtic Music Challenge
Greetings my friends
It's late as I write this. My daughter Inara is sleeping downstairs in my office as I write. I think I have a schedule that will get you shows each week until August when Kenzie goes back to daycare. That's good news for you because, with any luck, I'll keep releasing new episodes of the podcast every Thursday as planned. I even hope to get this newsletter out on time.
Speaking of the Celtic Music Magazine. You'll note that I changed the date of release. I'm trying out different days of the week to see when you are most likely to read it. My goal of course is to get the most engagement out of it. That means, I want to hear your thoughts and comments. I want you to listen to the newsletter. I want you to be a part of our Celtic community.
So post a comment in this week's shownotes, on our Facebook page, or even in out brand new Facebook community group.
If you're looking for another way to be a part of the community, remember that July 28th is our TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
I started the show in 2005. I really want to include you in that show. So do me a favor, record an MP3 congratulating the show on ten years OR call 678-CELT-POD (that's 678-235-8763) and do the same. I'd love to hear...
- How did you find the podcast?
- When did you start listening?
- What are your favorite bands you've found in the show?
- What are your favorite episodes?
- Where have you listened to the podcast?
Any and all comments are acceptable. I just want to hear from you.
Now I want to issue a Celtic Music Challenge...
If we can hit our next Milestone on Patreon before July 21st
AND if we can get 30 voicemail comments,
Then that Two Hour Special will turn into a THREE HOUR RETROSPECTIVE featuring some of the best music that you've found in this podcast over the last ten years.
What do you think about that?!
Are you ready for a mind-blowing show with all our comments? Will you help me make it happen?
Make a pledge then call 678-235-8763
Slainte!
Marc Gunn, The Celtfather
