0:16 - "Gypsy Rover" by Marc Gunn & Jamie Haeuser from How America Saved Irish Music
3:29 - WELCOME. You may not realize it, but there are time stamps in the shownotes of each episode. If there’s a song you enjoy, you can easily listen to it over and over again. If you don’t like it, skip to the next song. I’m pretty sure this feature works in most podcatchers.
