You'll hear sea shanties interwoven with a Celtic Steampunk musical story about an air pirate that kidnaps a bard to immortalize his dragon treasure hunting in song.

Caitlin Conchoille wrote on iTunes: "Just started listening to this podcast. So far I am loving the playlists! Looking forward to catching up on previous episodes." Maddie Hanlon added a new photo to Facebook: "Thanks for the inspiration, Mark! While listening to episodes 265 and 266 of Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, I finally completed the design and burn for this custom guitar for Aisling Guitars. It's a combination of my husband's family crest - the wild boar - and motifs from the Lindisfarne Gospels. Your podcast has been the perfect companion to my work!
