    Ben in Seattle emailed: "Dear Marc, Your podcast has been one of the few that I've been listening to for almost 6 years now. What was initially supposed to be a way to harvest Celtic mp3s and chop them up into song sized bits has turned into one of my favorite podcasts. Whenever I get down, Celtic music is one of my surefire ways to drag myself out of it and get back in the saddle. Thank you for all the work you have done for indie Celtic music and all the help you've unknowingly give me. I've recently found myself with a few extra dollars and have been more than happy to throw them at you and the Patreon. It isn't much, but I know that every little bit helps."

Great indie Celtic music from Nine-8ths Irish, Harpnotic, David Nigel Lloyd, Aisling, New Shilling, Kailyarders, Adamh, Emerald Dawn, Perkelt, Jim Sharkey, The Elders, Don Gabbert, Barleyjuice, O'Hanleigh.

    - River of B-Movie Sunday emailed me yesterday. He wrote: "I was looking for something different to watch while my daughter was napping today when I came across a series called Celtic Monsters. It's on Amazon Video (free if you have Prime and I think $1.99 per episode without). It consists of four 22 minute episodes, centered around a different theme each, where different people tell tales of the Celtic nations. They cover things from fairies to dragons and quite a few that I've never heard of. It's pretty entertaining and informative."

    * Thanks to the Patrons of the Podcast. Your kind and generous support keeps this show running every week. Become a Patron. Special thanks to our newest Patrons: Lissa, Nick, Craig, David, Rebecca

    * The 2-Hour Harp Music Special is still in the works. I apologize for the delay, but the holidays and family commitments took precedence. If it's any consolation, I'm two months behind on releasing my album Dragons vs. Pirates, which I successfully funded on Kickstarter earlier this year. But weekly gigs in November, sick children and the holidays, I'm doing the best I can.

    * The 2015 Celtic Christmas Podcast show was a hit. And many of you got the show directly in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast feed due to a small technical error on my part. But it turned out for the best. Because of that error, we climbed up to #7 on the iTunes Music Podcast charts. I hope you enjoy the show.
