FilkCast

My parents met through the Filk community, and brought me to circles and sang me to sleep with Filk music, Eric and Lizzie constantly play both my long time favorites, and stuff I’ve heard of in passing, and entirely new music, keeping me feeling in touch with the rest of the community even when I can’t attend every in-person events as often as I’d like.

Every episode has old and new favorites and I love the little calendar of upcoming events Eric and Lizzie include. A great podcast for people like me who love the folk music of science fiction fans and the community that makes it.

“Filk” music, that is folk music by and for science fiction fans, has been an active hobby since the mid-20th Century. This podcast brings it squarely into the 21st Century with old sing-along favorites, new works and a whole lot of music you won’t hear anywhere else.

I'm newly into filk and this is a great way to get up to speed with classics and new music. I like the host's understated humor and obvious enthusiasm for the genre, and the music selections are great too!
