Possible Delay

2010-06-16T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! Thanks for your continued support. I think I will try some new things over the next few podcasts...be sure to let me know what you think!

Regarding the possible delay, my stepdaughter has her birthday party this Saturday and Father's Day is, of course, this Sunday. Since I do most of my podcasting on the weekend, this week's episode may be slightly delayed.

Thanks for sticking with me while I get everything figured out, and have a great (rest of the) week!

Too scripted?

2010-06-15T18:01:00.000-07:00

I think maybe I sound too scripted in my podcasts (it's probably because I take copious notes and I live in constant fear of getting something wrong). I should probably try to sound more natural, especially after listening to myself on Jane Austen Podcast (Ep 6). It might help if I had someone to talk TO instead of just talking to myself, lol! What do y'all think?

Next week, we will be discussing either Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey or the 2000 British TV Miniseries, "Elizabeth." (Interesting side note: I just discovered that David Starkey is the presenter [narrator?] for the Miniseries...so either way it will be a David Starkey weekend!)

I had hoped to have the next podcast up this weekend, but I am a little under the weather. Podcasting will depend on how well my voice holds out. Thanks for understanding!!

Everything You Wanted to Know About the Tudors, but were Afraid to Ask!

Well...almost. That's the goal of my podcast. This very short introductory podcast is just that...an introduction. I tell you a little about me, why I decided to start podcasting, and what format I will be following.

I would like to thank Angela @ The Jane Austen Podcast & The Samcro Podcast for answering my many questions. Be sure to check out her excellent Jane Austen Podcast. The Samcro Podcast has now ended, but you can check out the archives until the end of June.

Shame on me, but when discussing why I decided to start podcasting, I neglected to mention Jerusha @ The Crow Blogger, who was a regular co-host on The Samcro Podcast. Once you listen to the podcast, you will understand why The Samcro Podcast was one of my favorites!

I hope future podcasts will be between 30-45 minutes, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this short and sweet introduction to Tudor Talk!
