As if I wasn’t meant to be having a break from this whole folk nerdy stuff, I’ve been diving into @handdownpod.bsky.social recently. Highly recommend and in much smaller chunks than our In The Roud episodes. 11 days until our Patreon episodes start up again. 5 1/2 weeks until S3 starts.

Well that was a fabulous gig and it featured 3 past podcast guests too! Jon Boden (S1/E1), Martin Carthy (S2/E2) and Emily Portman (S2/E4). Post gig session and then late night dessert cafe until 1:30am, then a 45mins drive home makes this podcast host a very tired boy indeed.

Out today on Patreon! It's the final episode in our Traditional & Local Carols mini season. Village Carols expert Ian Russell joins us again to discuss the very localised and uncommon South Yorkshire carol, Portugal (Roud 22,278). Hear this episode and more at... link in the bio.
