066: Tam O’Shanter (Halloween Special)

Tam O'Shanter is a popular poem, maybe especially around this time of year. I convinced my own padre to do a reading for the episode in English, and then got permission from Scots Hoose to use a really excellent pro-recording they had of Hamish MacDonald reading the poem in Scots. Not to mention: amazing musical score provided by Jeremy of the Wetootwaag Bagpipes & History Podcast. Check out the links below, and Happy Halloween!

Tune into this episode to hear how excellent this podcast would've been if my dad had decided to get into bagpipe-podcasting instead of me...
