Celtic Songlines November 9th 2021

On this week's Celtic Songlines rather that play one or two pieces from multiple artists, we'll hear a set of three consecutive tunes or songs from a smaller group of musicians. Featured this week are  Ireland's Dervish and Lúnasa (named after Lughnasadh, an ancient harvest festival), Scotland's Salt House, from Cape Brèton Natalie MacMaster and back to the Emerald Isle with fiddler Dónal O' Connor and uillean piper, John McSherry.  

Tune in live on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to noon at KDRT 95.7FM, stream at @kdrt.org, or subscribe to the Celtic Songlines podcast on Apple podcasts. The program replays on KDRT each Wednesday 1-2 p.m., Thursday 6-7 p.m., Sunday 4-5 p.m.

38. Esports

Esports are a billion dollar industry with millions of fans. Players compete in organized video gaming with teams, practices, seasons, and tournaments. A growing phenomenon, esports are an official high school sport in the U.S. and students can earn college scholarships to play for varsity teams. Esports will be part of the 2022 Asian Games and the International Olympic Committee is talking about including them in the Olympic Games. Justin McBurney (high school physical education teacher and esports coach) and Naish Carlisle (a student on the esports team at Da Vinci High School) tell us how and why they got into esports. Then we visit the birthplace of esports, South Korea. Beyond the global music phenomenon of K-pop, South Korea is the place to go for bibimbap, bingsu, and breakdancing.
