FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the latest and the greatest in folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.

Folkie Phil returns from his summer break for a new season of shows, and he’s got a bulging sack of sensational new music … probably! The only problem is, he hasn’t listened to any of it. What to do? Let the Randomizer sort out the chaos!

Phil grabs a record blind and then spins the wheel of fortune to select which track to play. Will this result in a genius choice of fabulousness … or a complete mess? Only one way to find out. Press “play” and take a listen. It’s an audio adventure!
