Welcome to the Brobdingnagian Bards podcast! Andrew's deep in the magic of Sherwood Forest Faire, and Marc's heading there himself this weekend. We're diving into the Firefly animated series reboot — what has us excited, what has us cautious — plus the story behind "I'm Coming Home" from Another Faire to Remember, a song born from Samwise Gamgee's dream of returning to Rosie. Pull up a chair, Bards. This one's got heart.

Set sail with the Brobdingnagian Bards in this maritime adventure!

In this episode, Marc and Andrew celebrate the release of their brand new CD "Another Faire to Remember" and reveal why streaming just doesn't cut it for supporting your favorite artists. 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.

From basement pub concerts to Bandcamp streams, from Sherwood Forest Faire to JordanCon, it's all in this episode!

Greetings Nagians

Another Faire to Remember is officially done. The music is off to the printers. Today, we start talking about the first five songs on the new album. Why are they there? What's the inspiration for them? What cool things happened in the recording process.

This album is far more personal than we realized. So we're excited to talk about it and even share a song.

Brobdingnagian Bards will be at Sherwood Forest Faire on the weekends of April 12-13 and 19-20. We might have smaller stage. But the show will be better than ever!
