With behind-the-scenes guidance from Stateside Irish speaker Brian Ó hAirt, and set against the backdrop of the forthcoming U.S. Presidential election, this episode of IMS scratches the surface of Irish and Scottish Gaelic. And explores how these ancient languages inform traditional music, and how they resonate today. You'll hear beautiful conversations and music from Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Séamus Ó Flatharta, Ciarán Bolger, Michael Coult, Julie Fowlis, and Mary Jane Lamond. We talk regional songs, apple crumble, and President Obama's gracious Gaelic address to the Irish people back in 2011. Learn how inspired musicians think in ancient words in 2020. Explore connections between language and music, how songs in Irish and Scottish Gaelic transmit emotion and carry history, and how languages lift people up (and ward off the evil eye). _____ Thank you to everybody for listening.

Finally, Marc Gunn and the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast proudly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America. I know these are partisan times. But I firmly believe Harris is the best person to lead our country to a better future for all Americans. She also has an actual plan to make our already robust economy even stronger. She also has a career of protecting the rights of women. Whether you agree or not, please vote in this year's election. Your vote matters and is how democracy stays strong.
