FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the latest and the greatest in folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.Folkie Phil returns from his summer break for a new season of shows, and he's got a bulging sack of sensational new music … probably! The only problem is, he hasn't listened to any of it. What to do? Let the Randomizer sort out the chaos!
Phil grabs a record blind and then spins the wheel of fortune to select which track to play. Will this result in a genius choice of fabulousness … or a complete mess? Only one way to find out. Press "play" and take a listen. It's an audio adventure!FolkCast is produced and presented by 'Folkie' Phil WiddowsWho Knows Where The Time Goes?

FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the worlds of folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.INTERVIEW SPECIAL: DAMH THE BARD.
Pagan singer-songwriter Damh The Bard (aka Dave The Bard, aka Dave Smith) has launched a career-defining musical project - a telling of the ancient story cycle called Y Mabinogi, based on the traditional bardic tales contained in the earliest native British writings, The Mabinogion. It’s a very impressive and ambitious concept, and Dave tells us all about the story, and what has prompted him to retell it for a modern audience. Along the way we discuss national identity, mistletoe, ravens, sacred horses and whether the UK’s most prominent pagan performer can break into the mainstream folk music scene.FolkCast is produced and presented by 'Folkie' Phil WiddowsTheme Music: Fisherman's Priest by Ken Nicol
