I do a monthly podcast with Tudor Times on their Person of the Month. The one on James I is one of the most popular:

And finally, if you missed the Tudor Summit – the online Tudor smorgasbord of talks from leading Tudor historians, bloggers, and podcasters (Tony Riches, Sarah Gristwood, and lots more…) you can still get the videos here, and I’d invite you to check it out… it was such good fun, we’ll be doing it again in March with new speakers!

Now, let’s move on to Music …
This episode with musicologist David Skinner provides a great intro as well…
