I quite listening when Marc started endorsing political candidates. I listen to podcasts to get away from that

Podcasting for almost 20 years. MarcGunn and his team know what they are doing. It’s Irish music. Past and present. Trad music and contemporary. There are NO wrong answers. As Bob Marley put it, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” Listeners only need an open mind and an appreciation for Irish music. That’s it. Thank you Marc Gunn.

Marc Gunn should be certified as a mental health specialist. His compilation of music from my roots is medicine to my soul. 😎🇺🇸🐊🙏☘️

I have listening to this podcast for several years now, and Marc Gunn consistently produces a wonderful podcast. I am listening to the best of 2023, and it is great! If you love Irish and Celtic music, this podcast is a must! If you love music, this podcast is a must!

I love this podcast. It’s exactly what I am always looking for.

I’m a Christian Hispanic/Native American male. People find it weird that I love this type of music. But that’s the thing. Why do we have to be held to one type? Music is universal, God created music to be loved by all His people. And I love this music. It’s beautiful. So thank you Marc, God bless you all for what you do.

My daughter does Irish dance and competes all over the world. I'm going to share your podcast with all my Irish mom dance friends. They will love it. I also want to share with you all of our favorite comedy podcast that gets us through many Irish dance festivals and tournaments. It's called "Community News by Paul and Sasha." Hope you and your listeners give it a try. it's kept us company many times back and forth to Ireland and keeps us laughing. Great music. Thanks for this pod. Glad to discover it.

This has to be my favorite of all podcasts. True Celtic music to stir the blood and help the Irish soul. I can’t get enough and listen constantly. I have listened to Celtic music on iHeart and other radio formats but nothing brings me more happiness like this podcast . Keep up the wonderful work and treat the world with great music …….. it needs it.

Because that’s when a new episode drops! Marc Gunn is the hardest working musician/podcaster EVER! Download the app and start enjoying great Irish & Celtic music.

Marc, I discovered your podcast about a year after you started it and have enjoyed each and every episode. I come from Irish, English and Scottish stock so Celtic music speaks to my soul. I listen to it everywhere I go and with everything I do, out loud. When people ask me what I'm listening too I happily tell them all about your many podcasts. You have made my life better with the Irish and Celtic Music podcast and I am forever grateful. Thank you, Thurman Burnley

Many thanks to Marc Gunn for this terrific podcast! I listened to the entire back catalog (a little over 520 episodes as of this review) over the past year, and have enjoyed so many great songs, including original pieces and covers of old classics. The ICM Podcast has introduced me to many bands and individual musicians I probably would never have discovered otherwise, and some are definite new favorites. I also appreciate that the podcast is released with chapter markers and time stamps within the notes. This makes identifying (and replaying) songs very easy.

thanks for all the work

You’ve outdone yourself! Perfect list of music to calm down by. Thank you! I’m saving this episode.

Love the music! Seems to be more inserting of politics and causes lately. But it is his podcast to do what he likes. Over the past year or so I listen less and less due to the “causes.” I still listen to the older shows. Again, really good music and host does a good overall job.

The host has too much pointless banter

This podcast never fails to lighten my mood and make me feel like dancing (no one wants to see that though, trust me). I listen while doing laundry, running errands, or when I just need a boost!

I’ve always been a fan of Irish music of all types dating back to my childhood when I went with my parents to pubs from County Kerry and County Galway to County Kings and County Bronx. The Irish and Celtic Music Podcast presented by musician Mark Gunn allows me a weekly wallow in jigs & reels and the occasional rock & roll rave-up for an hour or so.

This podcast has the best variety of traditional and contemporary Celtic Music out there. It’s introduced me to many new artists and new approaches to the genre. It’s been a welcome distraction throughout the pandemic. Can’t recommend it enough.

In the distant past this was an excellent podcast. It was my escape from to a place free of partisan politics where everyone can be united in their love of Celtic music. Not anymore. Marc Gunn has increasingly sprinkled politics into his podcasts lately, which has despoiled what was once a politics-free haven.

I’ve been listening to this podcast off and on since at least 2012 (changing phones sometimes makes me forget what I had on the old one). But I love this podcast. I listen to it at work, in the car, while walking. I found some great artists that I love thanks to it and Marc!! Keep up the fantastic work.

I love Celtic music. It makes me feel happy!

I wake up to this podcast on the weekends and it starts the day off perfectly. Every episode is well planned out with just the right variety of music. Very relaxing, upbeat and enjoyable. You won’t be disappointed.

Great music.

Great music and the host seems like a great person. Stoked to see support for our LGBTQ comrades.

This podcast is my life, I listen to it when I sleep, take showers, or eat! I also like to listen to it when I draw! -Kiana 2020 Thu Jul 16

This music is the best for studying and relaxing to -unknown

It is a fun way to listen to great music

It so hard to find a good listening place for this music, even SXM does have it! Thanks, Mark. I look forward to every podcast! Bruce T. Columbus, Ohio

Amazing! If there was less taking then I would like it more though.

Thank you for helping me get back in touch with Celtic roots. You do an amazing job at picking out songs each week while still finding ways to get the audience and listeners involved. Keep up the great work!

I truly enjoyed Mark Gunn’s ‘Irish and Celtic Music’ podcast! I’m not a huge fan of his own music but I do enjoy some of his songs and have bought and downloaded at least one of his songs on iTunes. His instrumental shows are the best in my opinion. Also, I have discovered numerous new songs that I have never heard before -and then bought and downloaded- due to this amazing podcast. Update: Dropped 2 stars after his LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ pride podcast. Leave the political/culture war crap out of your show, Mark. We get punched in the face with it daily as it is and your podcast was a way to get away from the bs...

Dang Marc that nervous laugh the whole episode was very awkward 🤣

Love all the work Marc puts into this podcast, he really supports all the artists that if it weren’t for for this podcast, I wouldn’t get to enjoy them!!! I look them up in iTunes and purchase tracks and/or albums that comfort me. Thanks again to Marc and these incredible artists!!!

Do you have some Irish dubstep

Has everything from trad to modern takes. Its like an Irish festival every week.

I've been listening to Marc's podcast off and on for years. I always thoroughtly enjoy the depth and varietly of Celtic music he showcases. This podcast has gotten me through many workouts and road trips. I recently had an opportunity to actually listen to this podcast while traveling in Ireland in Sept 2019. I've never listened to music that has touched me more or resonated more in my bones. Keep up the most excellent work Marc, you are so appreciated!!!!!

If you love Irish music, this podcast is for you. Great new music every week that is perfect for driving, working out or doing chores. Don’t miss it!

Define Celtic however you want, but Marc does a great job pulling music from the modern seven Celtic Nations and their diaspora.

Excellent work -- many thanks.

This is the absolute best Irish Celtic Podcast avail. My son just got back from Ireland and loved all the live music played in the pubs, so glad to bring it into our home as well. For many years now we have followed this podcast, so enjoyable! I’m trying to get 1 of my younger sons into this music so he wants to play it. My older sons play excellent guitar but their influence was rock and I want Celtic music to be the influence, so thank you for this podcast! It’s amazing! Keep it going!

I don’t have WiFi so REALLY love this access to Celtic music.

Thx for putting great music out there laddie it truly is remarkable that you have so many songs that remind me of my four times great grandfather-Scott Taylor I’m also from the McDonald clan of the irish

My wife and I are taking a two week trip to Ireland this year and listening to this podcast has really got me excited for our trip, as if I wasn’t excited already! I have strong Irish roots with my O’Reilly side of the family and this podcast is great for discovering artists and songs I haven’t heard before.

You know a good heart when you hear one. Great music through each week. What else do you want?!

SJW lecture

Longtime listener now exploring other podcasts with emphasis on Celtic music rather than modern social justice causes. Unfortunately this podcast is no longer a relaxing stroll along the high road or the low road to the shores of Loch Lomond. Rating reflects Excellent music and too much SJW discussion.

I love this podcast. It’s a deep dive into Irish and Scottish culture through music.

This is a wonderful podcast. I’m so grateful that it gives me the opportunity to hear Celtic music that’s not in the mainstream. I can’t recommend this enough.

I just listen to the music🎶

Thank you, always good. Mark in Milwaukee
