Christina Maree replied to the Celtic Music Magazine feedback request: "Hi Marc, I love your podcast and have been listening to it for a while. It's very versatile! Useful for running, cleaning, cooking, organizing teacher resources and writing report cards (I'm a Kindergarten teacher)! I will be celebrating St Patrick's Day by playing my harp and listening to more inspiring tunes (a la the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast). Thanks for sharing! Go raibh maith agat!" Pronunciation: guh ruh mah a - gut Dennis O'Brien replied: "I listen while working on/planning my Dungeons & Dragons game for the week. On St. Patrick's Day I am cooking a meal for my wife's family - a tradition since we first started dating. We will also listen to the Dropkick Murphys concerts from years past, if they don't have one live on YouTube. We will be singing along - my wife's Irish born grandmother can't make it this year, but we WILL be making a phone call to far off Minnesota." Stacia Ahlfeld replied: "We'll probably be doing school while listening. My kids like Irish and Celtic music as much as me. I am hoping to go to a nearby town's St. Patrick's Day parade. The town's name is Ireland, so they kind of blow it up. We'll probably continue to listen to music, and I might tell some stories."
