who grew up and lives on Long Island in New York. When she was little,
her folks used to take me to a few local Ren Faires at both Sands Point
and the Unitarian Fellowship in Huntington. She was hooked from a
young age. It was so inspiring - all of the colours and the garb, not to
mention the crafts, and of course the joust. She always wanted to go to
the big one in Tuxedeo, and plan on it, hopefully this season. She hopes
that people will hear our podcast, and come to be as inspired by the
music itself, as I was.
Marc Gunn
loves Cats. Irish music and Drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the
bright imagination of Marc Gunn would those three elements be so neatly integrated. Yet Gunn, sometimes called "the hardest working man in Celtic music" around his hometown in Austin, is an accomplished musician and entrepreneur who not long ago headlined at the Oscar party for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with the
Brobdingnagian Bards ,
a musical comedy duo who perform at Renaissance festivals nationwide.
I addition to the Renaissance Festival Podcast, he also hosts an
Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
and publishes the
Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.

Welcome to the 57 2/16s place to keep tract of one of Marc Gunn’s
Podcasts. Obliviously this time around it is the Renaissance Festival
Podcast and it is Co-Hosted by Kristen Rogers who can also be
Casper the friendly ghost, because she does tend to disappear for
months at a time, but the show is always good, even if poor Marc is
reduced to letting his cats pick on him when she is off, hummm
wherever...
Now with any amount of luck what you will find here is shortly after
the Podcast is posted, is a sample of the beginning of the Podcast
were they usually, aa sometimes, aaa every once in awhile put in
any news that they have and you will get a link to the whole Podcast
plus the show notes on the bulletin board. I say hopefully because
I kinda have a life and sometimes have other things to do, but I
would say this should be kept going like this 95% of the time
hopefully.
A quick note on how I got here, after finding his other MySpace sites,
I shot Marc a email asking why there was no Renaissance Festival
Podcast MySpace Page, fully expecting to get back something to the
tune of, dude, you failed Internet Searching 101, here’s a link and
instead basically got back that he needed someone else to do it, that
he did not have the time to. That took me back a step and after I got
over that I decided to take a stab at it, thinking that it could not be to
much harder than the websites that I ran for a couple of Everquest
Guilds/ organizations that I was apart of at one time {Note, if you do
not know what that is, it is an on line gaming community and please do
not think I am a hard core gamer, that was my first and except for a
brief try at WoW, last try at on line games. I liked the experience, but
it is far to time consuming for me to try again.} So I put this together
and shot Marc a email to see what he thought of and evidently he thinks
it is ok at least because he signed up as a friend hence I am plowing on
to see this goes.
Here are a few links you will probably like, since you like this Podcast.
Note, you want to explore the official sites thoroughly, if there is a place
on the net that he is not posting information in one way or another, it is
not for lack of trying. You will also find tons information on stuff he is
interested in, like how to Produce a legal PodCast and how to find legal
free music {and no that does not mean how to get around the law, it is
really free, usually in hopes that you like it so much that you will go back
and buy the none free stuff. I would try and explain what it all is and
where it is within his sites, but if I tried that I would make the actual book
of “War and Piece” look like the cliff notes. It will be much easier and
faster for you to just do some clicking.

Note2 some of these links go back to defunct PodCasts, left on I presume because you can still get what they produced, and of course you never
know if they will start again.

A last word, if you want to ask me questions, feel free to, but I have no
direct contact with Marc or anyone else connected with these PodCasts
and have no way to get any information that you can’t. If you have any questions I strongly advise contacting Marc or Kristen at music@renaissancefestivalmusic.com . If you ask me the odds are you
will get an “I don’t know” back, but I will answer if I can.
