Podcast Episode 80: Anthems But Not Nations

May 28, 2014

National anthems can actually be cool musical works, as I've discovered. However, it can take a lot of sorting to find the good ones. In this episode, we aren't going to hear actual national anthems. We'll hear anthems from micronations, an autonomous region, and a couple republics. I hope you enjoy them! The songs are "Homeland" from the Republic of Jamtland by Blackbird, "Home Is Where I Hang My Towel" from the Aerican Empire by Mike Cutler, "Els Segadors" from Catalonia in Spain, the National Anthem of Ingushetia, and "I am a Tuvan" from the Republic of Tuva.
