Welcome to the Minstral Show, the podcast that spotlights the very best music from around the world, made exclusively in the 21st century.

Eleven great tunes to take you away from an insane world that has truly gone over the edge… I mean, how many spears of greed, oppression, racism, political insanity, fake news, war, censorship or miscarriages of justice can we take…

Let’s remedy that with good music, to once again, bring us back to reality and relieve the daily pressures with new music by HEAT, Yuri Gagarin, Rick Miller and The Greek Theatre, and also great music by Deep Purple, Calexico, Marta Wiley, Klone, Katherine Aly, Josh Garrels, and Phil Common. Their combined message reads as follows;

We’re on Dangerous ground,

on the outskirts of reality,

and all I got is you,

and you me.

We’re correct to the core,

and it’s the end of the night

where we need to open up

and communicate from a different place.

Yonder are the sunny days

where sleepers awaken

and where love is not a waste of time…

THAT, is the music you’ll hear on today’s show. Musical medicine to reverb around the world and free our spirits…and oh yes, while we are at it, let our voices sing and be heard in solidarity to FREE Julian Assange, Aamir Aziz, Daniel Hale and Chelsea Manning…
