Eric Atkinson wrote in the shownotes: "I'm working and living in Pyongyang, North Korea. I don't get TV or radio and I have very limited internet access. I rely on DVDs and podcasts for home entertainment. While on a breather trip to Beijing, I downloaded a lot of Irish and Celtic music podcasts and I listen to at least one every day. I'm listening to one now. Thanks for providing such great entertainment. It's really appreciated in this challenging place to live. Keep up the good work. p.s. I also play Celtic flute and with the lots of time I have to practice, I'm getting quite good. I've got my first private concert next Saturday. So, Irish and Celtic music will be played live on the International Compound in Pyongyang, North Korea next weekend. Liam Smith posted on Facebook: "While listening to your podcast #284, 2-Hours of On Fire Celtic Music, my wife and I were quite taken with Innisfall's song, My Lagan Love. I didn't hesitate to order the MP3s from Amazon.com, and of course, I sent them a note to let them know where I found their music. Then, of course, I had to read all about them on their website. I'm well pleased!"
