"Going to the Army!" is a podcast series featuring Salvation Army music. This 10th monthly Episode is for April 2014 - and is an intensely personal episode for me, having had a very difficult March. In fact, many of the pieces heard are those that were sent to me by friends in encouragement and support.

The new programme continues the ever-growing ministry of GttA around the world and features songs and pieces that have been well-loved and very well-blessed for many years throughout the Salvation Army World.

The previous nine episodes have been played and/or downloaded over 50000 times both here on Podomatic and on iTunes and have been shared much more widely than that - so listeners tell me! One letter I received told me that 12 members of their own family listen to the shows via just one download - so listening figures must be FAR higher than the mere 'hit' counter could ever express - one estimate is that over half a million have now heard the podcasts! Thank you for supporting this podcast and for your frequent encouragement to me to continue! I assure you it is no chore!

The global range of listeners continues to grow with additions to the 2,600 strong Facebook group having recently been added from Fiji, Peru and Japan..."They shall come from the East, They shall come from the West and sit down in the Kingdom of God". Hallelujah!

Much of the featured music is from my own transfers of old SA LPs, 78s and cassettes but some CD and original recordings are also included. Presented by lifelong Salvationist musician and actor Marc Harry this podcast features music by bands, songsters, singing companies and soloists. In addition, background information about the music, the Salvation Army and the presenter's own experiences are included.

Feedback is welcomed - as are requests for songs/pieces that can be considered for future podcasts. - either here, on this page or to [email protected]
