Clearly, it’s been no short amount of time since I last posted an episode of the podcast; the rigors of life outside of the show have been of a nature which makes it nearly impossible to spend any time in research. If I could find someone to pay me full-time to create the show, we’d have a twice-a-week chat about British history and I’d be pleased as punch. However, due to the fact that this small thing called reality requires my efforts to be poured into things which pay the bills, the show has suffered.
But fear not, faithful listener! The academic year looms like a stormcloud over the Tor at Glastonbury, and this time ’round it actually holds more promise for the show, rather than less as has been true for past terms. I am very grateful to have been accepted into the graduate program at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, where I will soon begin studies on my chosen field – which is, at this point, something to do with later 18th-century imperial studies “on the home front.” I’ve yet to narrow it down past that, but suffice it to say that this will provide much more direct research that benefits both my academic work and the show itself. Hopefully, working with the faculty in the department will bring me just a little closer to Britannia, and I will do my best to bring all of you along with me.
Stay tuned. I’ll make no promises, but I sense the mists are clearing. Onward!
Glad to hear you are doing well and about to start your graduate work. Love your podcast and waiting (patiently) for the next one.

Hi Michael,
Just wanted to let you know I am slowly working my way through your podcasts. I just heard your Jan 7/07 podcast called ‘Ramblings’ and while I realize 2 1/2 years have passed since you created it, I had some feedback.
I like the random nature of the shows, and really if a listener wants to learn about history in chronological order, there are plenty of books out there.
I applaud any podcaster who can make a go of it and who can keep on producing over the years through adversity. Good for you for sticking with it! Everyone (hopefully) knows that life gets in the way of our passions, but it is our passions that keep us moving forward. Congratulations on getting accepted into grad school!
You may have sorted out the whole music and theme thing by now, I’ll just have to keep listening to find out!
cheers,
Stacey
I am waiting for your next podcast with baited breath!!
Patiently waiting………….. ;-)
I’m so interested in your podcast. I just downloaded every episode and listened to them all today!
I really do hope you get into the swing of things again and start to see a calm in the storm where you can post more.
If you do decide to start again I would deffinately be interested in helping anyway I could. Shoot me an e-mail: rclcryan@gmail.com
Thanks,
Ryan
I think you should give news on the whole thing more often
