There are some great Wild Goose Festival posts, videos, and pictures out here in web-land. I’ve prepared a list of some of my favorites.
I’m sure more videos of the main stage presenters will be posted in the future, and I’ll try to add those to this page as they become available.
If you have a suggestion for a link I missed, please feel free to add it in the comments.
