This is one of the first podcasts I subscribed to when I got my first iPod (5th gen, if anyone is curious); it has been awesome to see this show and its host grow in that time. I’ve been introduced to so many wonderful artists through this podcast! Marc Gunn continues to do an amazing job of showcasing the diverse sounds and people that make up this genre.

Just listened to my first episode and it happened to be the Protest songs episode. First, thank you for speaking up and speaking out on what’s happening here. Never stop. Second, great music! I’ll definitely be back for more
IPAben · Mar 2026
Love all things Celtic. Following Marc Gunn and his Celtic music work for years. Always something new that resonates with ancient memory deep in my bones. Magical for my psyche.
Calmly Present · Nov 2025
Podcasting for almost 20 years. MarcGunn and his team know what they are doing. It’s Irish music. Past and present. Trad music and contemporary. There are NO wrong answers. As Bob Marley put it, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” Listeners only need an open mind and an appreciation for Irish music. That’s it. Thank you Marc Gunn.
