- Goat Whisperers (with added English verses)
Send us Fan Mail
An English version of the Welsh Folksong (Oes Gafr Eto) has been added to the podcast:
Have you seen my Goat there?Or a trace of Goat hair?
Lost before the milking starts
Somewhere in the cold air
What sort of goat there?
Would you know it anywhere?
Is the one you’re looking for
Rather dark or quite fair?
RefrainIt’s all white white white
White from lip to back it’s white
Has there been one, have you seen one?
that’s white white white?

7 min - The Goat Whisperers of Brecon
Send us Fan Mail
The Brecon Beacons are the looming highlands of South Wales. Remote, dotted with hill farms, whose owners which have eked out a living from their goats and sheep for centuries.
There ‘s an entrepreneurial spirit in these hill farmers. A thriving industry has sprung up.Visitors can take part in the life cycle of the goats and sheep from birth to the sheering.
Other farms have expanded into goat-based activities.
This a land where communication between remote homesteads once took place with farmers shouting across the rocky terrain perhaps to locate a missing animal.
It gave rise to one the most famous of Welsh folk songs, about a wayward goat. In the spirit of such songs the verses are repeated, each with a different colour goat.

3 min - This England. Boris Johnson's hair gives an award-winning performance
Send us Fan Mail
This England, Sky Atlantic, is a ‘fictionalised version’ of the rise and fall of Boris Johnson. It seems fitting that its launch coincided over the first chaotic weeks of the Government picking up the mess inherited partly a result of his ignominious downfall...
We have Kenneth Branagh as a scarily convincing Johnson extracting his likeable as well as his mock Churchillian roles public.
Simon Day as Dominic Cummings conveys that peculiarity of the high IQ trainspotter complete with bobble hat, and given free rein for his sociopathic behaviours haranguing the terrified SPADS he has been put in charge of

3 min - Rachel Reeves and the BBC Gaze
Send us Fan Mail
Keir Starmer delivers his keynote speech at the Labour conference. His opening remarks capture the disarray of the Govt and the need for a Labour government.
A round of applause, choreographed as they always are at party conferences. Too lengthy for the neutral observer. But BBC News rose to the occasion. The cameras focussed on Rachel Reeves. Because she wasn’t applauding enthusiastically? No. Because she was replicating the state of rapture perfected recently at PMQs by Nadine Dorries during the applause gaps in one of Boris Johnson’s oven-ready set pieces? No.
A suspicion crosses my mind. Rachel Reeves delivered a stunning speech yesterday. The BBC gaze was searching for evidence of overweening ambition, perhaps disloyalty towards a leader (perish the thought). The everyday creativity of a brand under construction. Yesterday’s triumph was too good to be true. Surely she should have avoiding being good enough to be see as a pretender for the No 10 job. By which I mean the No 1 job ...

8 min - Heroes and Villains in the pageantry of the Queen's funeral
Send us Fan Mail
Catherine Hull and Tudor Rickards
Conor Glean of the Royal Shakespeare Company helps us understand the pageantry of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and how Shakespeare might have approached writing a play about the Queen’s life.
We interviewed Conor as a co-editors of the TudoRama newsletter the week following the royal funeral ceremonies in September 2022.
Conor approached his first Shakespearean roles at Stratford this year, after his work in the Royal Exchange theatre including his portrayal of Cassius Clay in One Night in Miami earned him national attention.
His current role is one of the two murderers in Richard 3rd, played as one of a pair of low-life cutthroats, with Northern accents. It leads him to reflect on the representation of villains and heroes in Shakespeare, drawing on his cultural Afro-Caribbean heritage.
This, he says, provides him with an additional lens through which to understand the outpouring of grief at the royal funeral, and perhaps a more nuanced understanding of cultural heroes both on stage and in British history.
