The Paper Machete Audio Magazine

Happy St. Patty's Day Machete fans,

This week marks an emotionally treacherous double holiday for us—both Chicago's trickiest day for saloons crossed with the one-year anniversary of the Machete on lockdown—and it has us in a mood, friends.

Our solution, naturally, is a holiday podcast to beat back the blues and blahs of this erstwhile green occasion with comedy and music from Machete past and present. This episode features premium St. Patty's content from Maureen San Diego, stellar standup from artists like Janelle James and John McCombs, some incredible Piers Morgan content, and outstanding Irish folk music from Kate Adams.

As ever, we're gobsmacked by your generosity, which has kept the Machete quietly afloat during this most uncertain, turbulent year. We're still here and we're sending you this only because of our donors. If you've donated in the last 12 months, thank you. And to everyone in our community still listening and supporting us, thank you, too.

We know that live shows will return this year, even if our own revival date is still very much up in the air. But we will be back with all of you, and we're more grateful for you than we can say.

As shots in the arm continue to uptick, our reunion with y'all grows ever closer. Until then, keep the faith and stay safe and enjoy this episode.

Much love,

Team Machete
