It was without doubt the best folk music programme broadcast in GB for many years, sorry to see it go.

Bugger. That leaves a big gap in my week's listening.

There are 252 archived shows and they'll be available for 10 months at least:

Many thanks, Mike.

I know this sounds daft, but how do I get these podcasts to play? No matter what buttons I press, I can't get any sound, or get the soundtrack bar to start moving across the screen. I don't particularly want to download them, and anyway I can't see how to do that either without using Facebook. How do I just listen?

Well it is playing right now. It did take a while to start.

There are three podcast possibilities. iTunes requires the pain of registering, not sure about Podomatic. Click Mixcloud and try the upload button.

Maybe there is a copyright problem. Mike must pay PRS & MCPS but I suspect only in the UK. iTune is world wide but maybe they have country categories.

I can't get it to play (this in an Android tablet) from Mike's own page at the moment - though I've played it from there before.

Try the podomatic links, they work for me - after a short delay:

Why did he stop? so sad

His voice sounds older now. Maybe he has reached a point. It used to take me 2-4 hours to record a one hour programme. I can imagine the kind of research he would need to put a fresh, current programme together. It probably took a week of intermittent phone calls, e-mails etc. I could well understand if he has decided to slow down.

Recently he's often mentioned spending time with his grandchildren. Maybe he wanted to do more of that and less time doing the show. I know I would.

Rather like the hotline from North to South Korea, uk.music.folk has just spluttered into life. Here is the post:

I haven't seen it mentioned here but Mike released a new podcast on 24 December. His regular broadcasts ended 22 October last year. Almost all of the episodes are still available for download but may not be available indefinitely.

My youngest son will be gutted. I totally understand if it's to spend more time with grandchildren.

My feedreader springs to life and tells me of two more shows:

This is encouraging, Maybe Mike just wanted to get off the treadmill. Maybe he's snowed in in his shed!

..... HE'S STILL GOING .....

On his website there is currently no suggestion of closing up.
He's making a two-hour show every month "or so".

On the September show just released he spent a bare minute mentioning ongoing costs and wondering if folks might chip in a bit.

Are you sure it's not Ian Anderson's podcast? It starts with Sloe Benga ;-)

I can confirm that MH's latest podcast, No.287, was released yesterday.

Mike's latest podcast is available:

If, like me, you normally download it using the download symbol under the built in player, and find that no longer works (it may work in Windows) try this link:
https://mhfs.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

If you open that xml file in a browser it should offer a webpage with a link 'download' to an mp3 file. That's what I get in Firefox but it depends on your browser; it may pass it to an RSS feed reader if you have one.

If you end up downloading the xml file itself, look in it for an item like this:
