Dr. Camille Ausbroad is a Professor of nearly everything at a local University on the tiny island she calls home somewhere on the underside of the globe. I don't know, it's not America.

For those who don't already know: she's a maker of many things - one of the most recent, a book which she co-authored with Andrew Douglas of Piper's Dojo fame. The book, "Finding Bagpipe Freedom," is available for purchase and let me just go ahead and say it: it'd make a great Christmas gift for you and for someone you love. So grab a few copies today at this link right here! Tune into this episode to hear an Australian say, (surely not for the first time,) "what the f--- is a Blooming Onion?"

*Oh, and keep in mind: as a general rule there are some words which, though not commonplace in American English casual conversations, drip - nay - flow freely in the Aussie vernacular... consider that a content warning...

Recap: Nurturing Nations is a great charity. Give to them between today and the end of the year and the money gets doubled. If you want to buy some of my music, the money goes to Nurturing Nations and also gets doubled, plus you get some, (amateur,) bagpipe music to listen to!

Thanks!

Rose has been all over the country and a decent chunk of the globe, but today she lands a few minutes to tell us about where she came from and how she got to be one of our beloved local pipers! Forgive the host for being a bit off, he was recovering from the second round of the COVID vaccine. Tune into this episode to hear Rose say, "I guess it was a scarf-- it could've repelled bullets though, it was knit so tightly..."

Josh, the other, (not quite as pretty,) half of the Chanter Rant and mastermind behind so, so many excellent offerings from the Las Vegas Pipe Band lets me question him for much longer than he should've. Content warning: Josh did an admirable job making his content far more, "family-friendly," than the standard Chanter Rant episode, but keep in mind, he's not from Utah County... a sample, to give you an idea: Tune into this episode to hear Josh say, "...she must be a lesbian... this chick didn't want to go out with me, that's the only possible explanation..."
