As we enter into a time of gathering with friends and family, we are also likely to feel a growing sense of closeness to nature and an appreciation for the seasons.  This week on Celtic Songlines, I hope you feel a bit of enchantment as we listen to songs and tunes from Northern Ireland's Deantà,  The Gloaming, Northern California favorites Golden Bough, Lúnasa alumnus pipers Michael McGoldrick & John Sherry, Clannad and we finish with Sue Richards on harp. 

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.

College football with its sea of fans, raucous crowds, college bands, and adrenaline rush is a staple of higher education in the United States. Hear about unique college football traditions, starting with Pint, the tee retrieval dog for the University of California Davis football team. Pint is a third generation Davis resident and is retiring after 10 seasons of retrieving the kickoff tee. His owner, UC Davis veterinary professor Danika Bannasch, tells us about Pint's storied career and his post-retirement plans. Then we travel to Boulder, Colorado, home to University of Colorado's live mascot, Ralphie the Buffalo. Find out about Boulder's 300 miles of bikeways, the flatirons, and Chinook Winds.
