Thistle and Shamrock

Note: The Thistle and Shamrock will end production on Sept 30, 2024. Read the announcement here.

One of public radio's most popular music programs is created in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands. When you  listen to The Thistle and Shamrock , you're there too.

On The Thistle and Shamrock , award-winning radio host Fiona Ritchie explores evolving music from Celtic roots in Europe and North America. You'll hear well-established and newly emerging recording artists along with in-studio guests, all surveying familiar territory and leading you to more distant landscapes and genres.
