Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Brandon Carl emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi there it is nice to meet you! I have been following you for a couple of years now and love what you do! I usually play my truck simulator and catch up on what you do!" Keenan Joseph Roznowski emailed on Facebook: "Hi, Marc, I just wanted to let you know your podcast has been a cornerstone of my childhood, and it's just as superb as I remember it now that I'm coming back to it. You've been such a wonderful guide through this world of music, and I'll always have a heart full of love for this show and your hard work. I was homeschooled from 4th grade through the end of high school (I'm 24, soon to be 25 now), and your podcast was a constant companion through countless hours spent in my studies. I have the fondest memories of listening to the music you curated (as well as the Brobdingnagian Bards!) as I gazed out at our garden with countless dreams of warriors, wizards, pixies, and pirates dancing through my head. It's only been recently I realized how criminally underrated you and the show have been, and I just want to say I supremely appreciate all your hard work in spite of this! In my opinion you deserve millions of fans, but the quality of the ones you have more than make up for it. I hope to show my future children this show one day. Take care, and I wish you and yours the absolute best. Sláinte" Jenni Trail emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi Marc, I have been listening to this podcast for the past few years. I stopped listening for awhile when I was hooked on audiobooks but now I'm back! This summer I am staying with my grandparents in Idaho as I have an internship at a history museum. I've been listening to the podcast as I do work around the museum. I've attached a photo on some artifacts from the 1930s I cataloged for the museum. I've been obsessed with Celtic culture and history for the past few years, I'm a history major and have taken many classes on British history and Scottish history. I've never been to Scotland, but I hope to go to Fife, the area my family is from. Thank you so much for this podcast! I love listening to this music.
