Greetings my friends. Once again, I need someone to bounce an idea off of. 

I have four main podcasts.

1. Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Features Celtic music bands.

2. Pub Songs Podcast. Aka Marc Gunn Radio. Features my music plus some cool songs I like and the music of my friends.

3. Stories from the Road. My monthly update exclusively for YOU, my kind patrons.

4. The Celtfather....[crickets]

The URL is all setup. There are over a hundred episodes. But what is it about? I don't know... I need a really good, solid, format if I'm gonna publish a show. But I never do.

 I've talked to a number of Gunn Runners who tell me that I inspired them musically or artistically. So I was trying to come up with a podcast that could continue that idea.  

Personally, I listen to a lot of interview podcasts. They give me an opportunity to learn new promotional tips to promote my music. Sometimes, I even have time to implement the tips I learn... :p

The tough thing about doing interview podcasts is making the time to do interviews. Oh! And actually getting good interviews that hit a specific theme that will bring people back time and time again.

I think I have an idea. 

The working title is Making Music...

In this podcast, I talk to musicians, artists, and authors to learn about their artistic process and how music fits into their creative lives.   

This would be an interview show where I ask about 10 questions about how they create their art and how music is a part of it. It won't be a long podcast 15-20 minutes, I think. 

So what do you think?

Before you answer...

I want you to approach this a little different. Does this Excite YOU?  Would you skip your favorite TV show to listen to the latest episode if it came up? Or is it  more of a "sounds good"? aka ambivalence...

My plan is to record a couple interviews this weekend and to test this out on you next week or so... So stay tuned...

And please let me know your thoughts.

UPDATE: I have a couple other ideas.

1. Ask ideas for a story or a song. And write one live (or mostly live) on the podcast

2. or just write some damn music and drop The Celtfather :P

We listen to your Podcast during lunch, since we both work at the same company, we eat lunch in our car and listen to Pub songs Podcast. This is usually a mid day decompression time, so we enjoy music, as interviews would require us to concentrate and turn our brains back on. In the case of the Pub song formats, we do enjoy the aspect of themed shows with the mixture of your music with other artist that we have not heard before.
