Thanks to the keen eyes and ears of one of our listeners who noticed that Episode 3 was only 12 minutes long instead of the expected 26 minutes, we have discovered that cyber-moles have been burrowing through the interwebs and eaten half of Episode 3!
Seriously, thank you to our keen listener. The copy of Episode 3, Bres the Beautiful, on the server has somehow become corrupted and only the first half played. We have now replaced it with a brand new, shiny Episode 3 and want to apologise to all of our very confused listeners wondering what happened between this point and Episode 4! |
Please accept our sincere apologies for this. We recommend that you re-download the episode from our Episodes page and overwrite your locally stored version. Alternatively, right click this episode 3 link and choose Save Link As.. to save to your machine.
Thank you for your patience,
Gary & Ruth

Centuries pass in the blink of an eye - and another episode of the Celtic Myth Podshow is available for download! No seriously, I’ll start again…
Centuries pass in the blink of an eye and the Realm of Erin is in the hands of the Tuatha De Danaan, the Children of Danu. This episode starts with a mysterious vision and then goes on to tell us how the descendants of the Old Gods make a disastrous mistake…

Just a quick note to apologise to all of our listeners and let you know that our next episode, Episode 11, is going to be delayed for a couple of days. Life has just overtaken us for a while. I have re-set the counter until the 12th but I’m hoping to get the episode out before that. I am not expecting Episode 12 to be delayed and it will be available at the expected time - 19th July. (I hope )
Thank you for your patience

The second part of the Midsummer Special is available for download and is on the feed. We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. So we’ve divided the episode into two parts. The second half contains an amazing poem called The Shadow House of Lugh, a story from The Fire of Belenus by William Russeth and some music.
We also talk about a possible delay in releasing Episode 11. Two or three days should be enough to get us back on track.

Well, you will find a new Help page that explains some of the more confusing aspects of New Media to beginners to podcasts. We have added a page of Credits to say Thank you to all those who have helped produce the show and we have added some photo and image galleries. |

In this episode, we fulfill our promise not to use any accents. This is part of our experiment to find out which form of production is most suited to you, our listeners. If you find this format better for you to listen to than Episode 8 and others then let us know so that we can make the necessary changes. We are still getting feedback on both sides of the fence. We hope that now you can hear both versions you are in a better position to make an informed judgement
