FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the worlds of folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music. A ton of great new sounds from the Folkosphere to share with you, plus there’s nudity… with a steampunk morris dancer, there’s sex… with a cuckoo, and there’s an Insanely Mental Instrumental that will drive Homer Simpson crazy, and there are a trio of new songs inspired by classics. FolkCast is produced and presented by Folkie Phil Widdows Music featured:
