We got a bit of news today (thanks for the heads up www.engagingireland.com). The Irish Fireside and the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast (www.celticmusicpodcast.com) have been nominated for a Podcast Award.

This is quite an honor in the podcast world. This year, 321,000 listeners and podcasters nominated over 3,500 shows. It’s especially notable that two Irish-themed shows made it to the nominations, in the Travel category and the Podsafe Music category.

Good News for Irish Travel

Considering the hit Irish tourism has taken in 2009, every mention of Ireland helps, even if just a little bit. We’re hoping this nomination might introduce a few new listeners to the Fireside and, in turn, get them thinking about our favorite topic ;)

We Sure Could Use Your Vote… Every Day

Now it’s up to the fans to cast their votes in 22 categories. Voting for the Podcast Awards opens Friday, November 13. You can cast one digital ballot per category per day until voting closes on Monday, November 30.

I must admit, this system of daily voting is a bit exhausting, so I’ll apologize in advance if you see a fe posts about it on Twitter and Facebook. We won’t go overboard.

We’d be honored to get your vote… every day.

    I’ve submitted my vote for the Friday the 13th, which will hopefully be lucky for the Irish Fireside and the Irish and Celtic Music Podcasts. I have the URL bookmarked so I won’t forget to vote every day for the rest of the month.

    Be aware that you can’t just submit your ballot; you ALSO have to click on the VERIFY link in a followup email which will be sent to you. It’s a two-step process…

    Yep… ballots are randomly selected for verification. So if you don’t get a verification. Don’t worry.
