PSP117: Top Three Tips for New Parents, Plus Awesome Comedy Music from Manic Mondays

I keep planning on doing a YouTube video on my three pieces of advice for new parents, but I’m still not totally comfortable with quickly and easily recording videos. There’s something that always keeps me from it. It’s my own lack of confidence. But with eight years of recording audio podcasts, I figured I’ll just go ahead and do an audio podcast and I’ll record the video later.

My Kickstarter campaign is a huge success. There are five days left in the campaign. I am $400 away from my second stretch goal. Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered this album and helped me hit the ball out of the park with this CD. Keep an eye open for TWO CDs of music from me in the future.

Today’s music is a departure from the norm. I found a bunch of brilliant comedy songs from Manic Mondays, a comedy podcast.

A Glimpse at the Early Pub Songs Podcast

The Pub Songs Podcast wasn’t always a show with multiple songs and updates on my music. When I started it, I was trying to teach people about some of the great Celtic pub songs that I was learning. But I didn’t have time to research history. So it changed.  Here are the first two shows:

 

 

#116 – Scottish Songs

It looks like I have a new CD coming out this fall. It’s called Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. Five days ago, I launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the album. I met my goal today. To celebrate, I want to share some more great Scottish songs and tunes that I think you’ll love.

#115 – St Patrick’s Day Pub Songs Playlist

Enjoy St Patrick’s Day Pub Songs! I spent the last couple weeks recording a ton of great St. Patrick’s Day music for my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast and of course this podcast as well. This is the final show for the St. Patrick’s Day season. Once again, I decided to highlight music from some of my favorite bands and friends. That means you’re getting the cream of the crop when it comes to awesome pub songs by some of the Celtic musicians out there (I only know the best;).

Please be safe this St. Patrick’s Day and have a great weekend!

#114 – St Patrick’s Day Pub Songs Playlist

Ready for another show of Irish pub songs and other great Celtic music? With St. Patrick’s Day just a couple weeks away, it is time to release my St. Patrick’s Day music playlist. You heard my music in all of this year’s shows. So this show is all about other great Celtic bands for St. Patrick’s Day. These are some of my favorite bands and songs. That’s the cool thing about hosting the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I meet a LOT of amazing Celtic music groups. I originally planned only one St. Patrick’s Day music playlist, but it seems I have a LOT of great friends. So I’m gonna split it up into two shows.
