The Ballad of Tam Lin

Catching up on stuff we missed over the summer because of.. other stuff.
This from @wyrdfolkpod.bsky.social is a delight. What makes this podcast sing is not only the writing but how erudite it all is. The last few minutes talking about influences was so enjoyable.

It’s the age verification software. It thinks we are teenagers, apparently. I imagine your parish council is a bit more on top of these things than we are!

Out today: The Search for Camelot. This episode is very dear to us because it is inspired my our dear dad’s love of The Idylls of the King by Tennyson. Listen in for a discussion of the literary and historical roots of Camelot.

You may have noticed that we’ve been very quiet recently. Our dear dad has been very ill and he sadly passed away over the weekend. We’re going to delay the next episode for another week to allow us some space to come to terms with this loss.

This week’s Camelot episode has been delayed by personal circumstances. We hope to have it up in the next few weeks. Please bear with us.

Our episode this week is a tribute to our dad, who has been very unwell recently. When I was a child his favourite quote was the classic from Tennyson’s La Morte D’Arthur. β€˜ThΓ© old order changeth, yielding place to new.’
