 If you’re a longtime listener, or you’re just tuning in to Irish Music Stories for the first time, I’m here to tell you that new episodes post on the second Tuesday of each month.

But the month of June is special!

I’ll be publishing on the THIRD Tuesday! It’s a time zone thing. I need to process and produce stories from recent trips to Japan and Scotland. And I need to learn just a little more from my Canadian pals about music in Cape Breton.

And then, my big summer travel series will launch. I’ll feature stories from Far-flung hotbeds of traditional music and dance. I hope you’ll stay tuned. And stay in touch. 

And a big thanks to everybody who has kicked in to support the show. If you can make a donation of any amount, it helps keep the Irish Music Stories lights on. Just head to IrishMusicStories.org. Or share the show with a friend. 

I’m really proud and excited to be reporting about amazing Irish and Celtic communities that I’ve encountered in Asia, Europe, and Canada… next week.

And now, I’m back to work on this show about traditional music… and the bigger stories behind it.
