They support the folk community with forums, such as Harvest Home which covers not only music but all traditional creative arts. The founders also run a portal to other folk-related sites which can often inspire, called Folkspace.

As podcasters, we are always listening to podcasts - no surprises there. One of the most amazing developments in the field is the arrival of the podcast novel.To hear an author read his/her own work to you is a real treat - and remember, most podcasts are free! With the emergence of podcasting as a new technology and the podcast novel, or Podiobook, we were inspired to bring you the tales we love. It a joy to find another podcast for you that deals with the subjects of Celtic Mythology or the Fey, and Chasing the Bard by Philippa Ballantine is well-worth listening to. The story brings us into the worlds of Shakespeare and the Fey. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
"The most elite of the podcast reviewers (and most especially in the History genre). We use Anne is a Man! as a sort of barometer for how we are doing. Anne is a Man can assume the role of THE podcast reviewer on line; no one does it as well as he does."
Each episode, Gregory Lemon will discuss an aspect of a myth, folk lore, or tall tale from the many wonderful cultures around the world. Greg''s podcast needs to be lsitened to from the beginning. He defines mythology and folklore, folk-tales and shows how Joseph Campbell''s theories of the Hero/Monomyth can be applied. Great stuff. He says:
"For this podcast, my working definition of 'Mythology' will be very wide and generous. It covers most everything from the gods and individuals in ancient mythologies (Zeus, Hercules, Thor, etc.), the newer folk stories (Jonny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan), and fairy tales (Cinderella and The Brothers Grimm). I want to expand peoples knowledge of the many excellent stories that have been used to teach each of us for many years."

An ancient matrix of energy lies hidden in the earth, its existence and purpose all but forgotten. One strand, named The Dragon Line passes through Cornwall, a land steeped in history and mystery since the dawn of time. Here the line passes through the valley of the River Fowey. A lone ghost, abandoned in the valley of his birth, tells how the line of energy has been usurped, unbalancing the whole planetary energy matrix. In The Lily, the first novel of an
extraordinary trilogy, we share his lives as he tells
his tale of 2000 years in the Fowey valley. He sets a crucial task, to mend the Dragon Line and restore the balance of power, before time itself runs out. Visit his website here and order from Lulu here.
A thousand years before the Romans, Celtic people cultivated the Rhone Valley. Celtic languages were spoken from Asia Minor to Spain and from Northern Italy to Ireland. By the third century BC, their culture had evolved into a complex civilization with sophisticated social structures, laws, and folklore that are the roots of modern European culture. But the Celtic world was a violent world, controlled by mystical Druids and warrior chieftains, ready to take the heads of their rivals over the most trifling insult.
Fires of Belenus is a romantic tale, that tantalizes readers with rational portrayals of mythical events found in the CuChulainn and Arthurian legends.
The Sword in the Stone, Lady of Lake, and CuChulainn's stand at the river ford are brought to life in plausible new ways that make the work unique. It is a tale of Historical Fantasy, made believable by accurately portraying ancient Celtic culture. Available from Wings Press and Amazon.

Culann’s Hounds has been a favorite on the San Francisco scene for six years—and is now bringing their self-described punk-Irish-hoedown sensibility to a larger audience. The melodies of Steve Gardner (fiddle) and Renee de la Prade (button accordion); harmonies of Mike Kelleher (guitar); and rhythm of Scott Marshall’s bodhran meld with rich vocals that are a staple of the Irish tradition.
The Hounds connect with their audience because they are as adept with traditional arrangements as they are with bringing their eclectic artistic backgrounds to an original brand of Irish-inspired music.
