Based on the tunes and my own listening habits I recommend the following episodes:

James and Timothy Cummings discuss the book and tunes that James is playing from in this episode:

The recent Adrian Melvin episode has already helped me understand how to fiddle with reeds more successfully:

I quite enjoyed listening to James interview with Donald Lindsay (who I interviewed for the show last year). James and Donald talk a lot more detailed about 3d printing and Donald’s time on Ascension Island.

People involved in the LBPS will be interested in Judy Barker’s delightful interview, there is also a lot of great tunes and songs on this episode:

I must say, I really enjoy James’ episodes which are more serving the original purpose of the Podcast, which is to interview local pipers in the Utah piping scene. It is really interesting to hear all the different paths people take to the bagpipes and pipe band drumming.
