FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the worlds of folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.

We're back, baby! The start of a new season and we reveal plans for future FolkCasts. Then we go to the races, go down the mines, take to the ocean, search for passage through the ice and sail the stars. There are daft dogs and dirty dogs and Old Blind Dogs, and we finish in a honking great big mucky lorry! Who dares to say that folk music is boring?

FolkCast is produced and presented by 'Folkie' Phil Widdows
