Set sail with the Brobdingnagian Bards in this maritime adventure!

They dive deep into Brobdingnagian Bards history, share stories from FAWM (February Album Writing Month), and discuss the songs that truly connect with their fans on stage versus on recordings. Plus, Andrew shares a bold political prediction, Marc announces his upcoming Irish & Celtic Music PodFest featuring The Muckers, Kinnfolk, and May Will Bloom, and they explore the fascinating history behind the classic sea shanty "Haul Away Joe" - a Renaissance festival favorite they've recorded but rarely perform live.
