Hey all,

Thank you for you St. Patrick's Day help! I disappeared after getting sick. But I'm well and looking to the future.

In fact, the next big promotion I hope to do is for the PodCastAwards. I'm hoping to say "The Award-Winning Irish & Celtic Music Podcast" come later this year with your help. Starting July 1, the Podcast Awards open up. I don't know how it works at present. But what I do know is that July 1st they open up nominations. Then a couple weeks later, they open up voting. To be nominated, I think you need to vote daily.... but I"m not yet certain. http://www.podcastawards.com/ . Hopefully, I'll know more closer to the date.

This July show will also mark the 3-year anniversary of the show. So with those two combined, I want to do three mini-shows per week for the entire month. And of course, I would like your help getting the word out about the podcast. If you have theme ideas for the mini-shows, let me know. I was thinking bagpipes, fiddles, drinking songs, original songwriting, flutes, gaelic language, celtic rock, reels, jigs, ballads. Those are a few ideas. And I'd welcome yours as well.

Finally, I joined a site called ReverbNation at http://www.reverbnation.com/marcgunn . I'm not yet sure I can setup a separate site for the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, but I'm thinking about looking into it. If not, and for now at least, I'm gonna use my site to run some street team promotions, because it's well-setup for that goal.

Alrighty, let's kick in a Celtic Summer Extravaganza!  Ohh... Hmm... We need a good name... Maybe it's time to revive the free Celtic CD giveaway too...?
