    FolkCast 155

    Singer-songwriter (and FolkCast co-founder) Ken Nicol joins Phil in the studio to roll a Randomizer dice, listen to some music and chat about what it’s like to be a performer touring the world.


    FolkCast 154 - 24 October 2018 Oct 24, 2018
    Show notes

    FolkCast 154

    Another randomized dip into the postbag to hear tracks from the latest releases. Featuring guest co-host, the FolkCast Super Computer!


    FolkCast 153 - 06 Oct 2018 Oct 05, 2018
    Show notes

    Folkie Phil returns from his summer break for a new season of shows, and he’s got a bulging sack of sensational new music … probably! The only problem is, he hasn’t listened to any of it. What to do? Let the Randomizer sort out the chaos!

    Phil grabs a record blind and then spins the wheel of fortune to select which track to play. Will this result in a genius choice of fabulousness … or a complete mess? Only one way to find out. Press “play” and take a listen. It’s an audio adventure!
