PUB SONGS PODCAST

I hosted a live edition of the Pub Songs Podcast at Dragon Con a few weeks back. I lost track of how many years I have closed the con with this live podcast. It's been a blast. In this episode, I play another Sci Fi Drinking Songs show with a lot of fan input. I also announce some exciting news about the Return of the Pub Songs Podcast. Special note: There were some microphone issues. I apologize for the sound problems. Here's the setlist for this week's show: Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster Kilted For Her Pleasure Mingulay Cat Song When the Dairy Farm Caught Fire Reavers, Malcolm, Reavers Reavers Lullaby (parody of "Close Your Eyes") We'll Have a Pint The Prettiest Hobbit Name On My Soul I'll Tell My Cat Doctor of Gallifrey Kilkelly, Ireland Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea Come Take a Trip on My Airship The Pub Songs Podcast was the third podcast I started back in 2005. The show went through many, many changes over the years, when I stopped finally podcasting it back in 2014,  I felt overwhelmed and confused about its place in the podosphere. I spent many long hours thinking how I could revive the show. and last month, I figured out what to do. In 2016, I will relaunch the podcast. However, there will be numerous changes. First, it will document my intergalactic music tour of geekdom. Second, the show will vary in length between 10-30 minutes and feature drinking songs both traditional Irish and Scottish songs as well as some of my twisted favorites. Third, the show will be released weekly as a season. I expect to have 10-12 episodes per season. Patrons of my Music will be gain early access to the completed episodes or seasons as they become available. This will be an exciting adventure. And I hope you will join me. Stay tuned for me to announce venues around the universe. And enjoy this live edition of the Pub Songs Podcast.

I started the Pub Songs Podcast nearly ten years ago. It's gonna through many changes over the years. I am very proud of the 138 episodes that made up this show. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I decided to change the format of this show. The new show will be a short-format, talk-only podcast that will be released every Monday morning.
