I am very sorry; my first reaction was that this had to be a self-link, because I figured there's no way two people could be interested in a ukulele podcast. posted by yhbc at 9:27 AM on June 3, 2008 [1 favorite]
On my RSS feed, all I saw was "Do the Uke!" and came to a completely different conclusion about the content involved.
Google search "Uke." But not from work. posted by BrianBoyko at 10:16 AM on June 3, 2008
Awesome ukelele artist. Great covers of songs done in his unique style. He's got this emotive voice that works great in contrast to the sound of the instrument. I highly recommend the guy. I used to be dismissive of ukelele until I heard him. He's shown me a new appreciation for the instrument. posted by ZachsMind at 12:30 PM on June 3, 2008 [1 favorite]

Naw, I don't listen to enough Ukulele music to put together a podcast of Ukulele artists, I can't even play, I wish I could. And what's wrong with the Ukulele music, and or podcasts about them?

Wow, thanks alot, so far what I've heard I really enjoyed, he has this great jazz rasp to his voice. posted by Del Far at 12:44 PM on June 3, 2008
You're welcome, Del Far.
Seeso does a Nirvana cover that is without peer - an improvement on the original, and I don't say such things about covers lightly. Freakin' awesome. I like his original stuff also. posted by ZachsMind at 1:43 PM on June 3, 2008
A buddy of mine is a ukulele enthusiast - he's always sending me Youtube videos of really amazing performances. Evidently, this is a really vibrant subculture full of some really talented people. (This is him, BTW.) posted by jbickers at 5:20 PM on June 3, 2008
Since that I just got back from Hawaii I now consider myself an avid Ukulele aficionado (until my vacation buzz wears off.) posted by Miastar at 9:25 PM on June 3, 2008

I just checked the about the Orch page and saw that Bret from Flight of the Conchords is in it, so I'm sold :-) posted by Del Far at 9:08 AM on June 4, 2008
Now that I'm some place where I can access YouTube links, here's Seeso (aka Narciso Lobo) for those of you who were too lazy to search for him yourselves. Here's some direct links to songs of his that particularly stand out for me, but all his shit's good.
Oh... I forgot to add the Stevie Wonder cover I Wish, but after I turn off the pooter for the night, I'm gonna think of a half dozen other ones I wish I'd added to this list.
