Greetings

How's it going?

I'm so psyched. We did it! We won our THIRD award for Best Podsafe Music in the Podcast Awards. Can you believe it?!

This is a huge honor. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you who voted for our podcast. I don't know why it means so much to me. What really matters is that you are listening and telling your friends. Nevertheless, I was more excited than ever, especially since they changed up the voting this year. That made it even more difficult to win.

So again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

In the meantime, we're celebrating with indie Celtic music from Telenn Tri, Mike Katz, Lochlainn, Boston Blackthorne, Cormac Gannon, Cormorant's Fancy, The Changing Room, Charmas, Jesse Ferguson, Devils Water, The Crazy Rogues, Tuatha Dea, Dom Duff, Forkroot.

Read the shownotes and listen here.

Again, thank you for showing that the Celts are the best kind of people, who take care of our fellow human beings through thick and thin. Your kindness and generosity are inspiring. Thank you!
