Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast

2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the Brobdingnagian Bards. To celebrate this amazing milestone, we are releasing a LOT of cool new content every month. We have also made this podcast public once again. Last year, we restarted the band through Patreon . We are creating all new music together. That hasn't been done since 2007. We wanted to give our kind members of the Nagians Only Club on Patreon,...

Last year, this podcast became patron-only as part of the Nagians Only Club on Patreon. That is now changing! You see, January marked the 20th anniversary of the Brobdingnagian Bards. It seemed a shame to hide all of this great content from Nagians around the world. So we asked them if we could make this podcast public once again. They resoundingly said, "YES!" We are very pleased to share this sh...

Welcome to show #40 of the Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast. Yup. This is the last one. In our public feed. That's because we have decided to relaunch A Brobdingnagian Minute into a monthly podcast exclusively available for our new Nagians Only fan club on Patreon! The Brobdingnagian Bards are back with a brand new Patreon page . We're gonna start working on a new album. Plus, we'll share stories behi...

We're gonna step back in time to see how our first CD, "Marked By Great Size" came to be. You'll hear never-before-told-stories about the how we rolled with the punches and made lemonade…figuratively speaking. Plus, you'll enjoy some music from our first official album as well as music from the atrocity that we tried to hide… As Andrew requested, here's the track listing for Marked By Great Size:...

Andrew and I are performing separately at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. We thought it would be nice to record a podcast. But people kept walking in on us. Our Top 5 movie theme was hijacked into a round table of wandering entertainers and a lot of fun. Special guests: Paolo Garbanzo , Melanie and Melissa of Chaste Treasure , Mandie Kitty Cat Turner, Tom Zadoyko What's in this Week's Show Uno...

Photo by GRHookPhoto.com As we prepare for our reunion show at Sherwood Forest Faire, wandering through the grounds, we record a podcast for the world to hear! And our theme is: What you can do with worn out Bards CDs ? When they've been listened to far too often, rendering them useless for further musical perusal? Here are our suggestions… 10. Coaster! 9. Oriental Star – be a CD ninja! 8. Frisbee...

Here's our improvised podcast while driving to DragonCon 2015! The first question that raises it's head is "What is the purpose of a podcast?" In the past, we've done brainstorming, as well as just chatting about what's going on with our lives. A behind-the-scenes tour, if you will – or a self-covering band! So how do you create a podcast for a band that only meets once or twice a year? Do we just...

Brobdingnagian Bards were officially invited to DragonCon this year. We're already planning this year's shows. One of which is a Sunday evening Hobbit Drinking Songs show. The show is currently scheduled for 10pm in the Augusta Ballroom in the Westin. Every year, we like to change things up, doing something new and exciting. Last year, we added a fun arrangement of "Seven Drunken Nights", hobbit-s...

Let us start with apologies to everyone who got excited about yesterday's April Fool's joke . Yes, it was another bad joke brought to you by Brobdingnagian Bards. I don't know if it was as bad as 2001 or 2002 when we told everyone we were breaking up the band… but it sounds like it was close. So our apologies. We are NOT reuniting, except at DragonCon. That said, we have a bunch of fun Bards news...

Every venue has its work. GenCon is "Freebird". We made the mistake of playing it in the pre-show last year at Friday Night Live and ended up with a standing ovation before our actual show started.
