No, this isn’t a big announcement that I’m bringing the podcast back (but it’s also not an announcement that I’m *not* bringing it back, for what it’s worth), I just wanted to update this blog since it has been three years since the last post. I still don’t know if I’ll get back into doing the podcast, but I figured I’d at least post something there to let people know that I’m still thinking about it. Some of the undergrads that I work with at my university have started podcasting and one of them (who knows that I used to do this one) has been poking at me to get it going again. We’ll see. 🙂

I never got around to posting an update, but it looks like all of the comments did eventually find their way over to the proper places, this blog included.

And anyone who has seen the old blog will probably note that I updated the design to a new Blogger template. I may change it more in the future, but I kind of like this one. 🙂

I’m sorry for the paucity of podcasts this summer- it was just a bit busier than I had expected. I think I’m going to just skip July and August now and just resume with the September podcast, which should be available by the end of the month. I have a couple of science meetings this fall, but they aren’t nearly as long (or as often) as the ones I was at last year so hopefully they won’t eat in to my spare time as much as in 2008. And no moving twice in the space of a month this year either!

Thanks to everyone for their patience and continued interest in my semi-regular podcasts. 🙂

Once again the fates have conspired against me and I don’t have the podcast finished yet. I may be able to get it posted before the end of the month (in two days!), but it might not be posted until next weekend.

*** One small correction to the podcast – I noticed I said that Margaret Beaufort died just three months after son, but I actually wrote two months, which is more accurate.

Just a quick audio announcement since I wasn’t able to get the new episode finished in time for the actual 500th anniversary date. And it was a test run on my new software – which might take some getting used to!

Since I’ve been getting a few emails of late about the podcast, I thought I would go ahead and post a short update here for anyone who stumbles by. As you can see, I didn’t get around to starting the podcast back up in the fall, and now I’m just not sure when it will be. There are a lot of things competing for my time these days. But, with the big 500th anniversary of Henry VIII’s accession to the throne in 2009, I feel that I have to do something with the podcast in the months to come, so keep checking back or stay subscribed. 🙂

In the meantime, I’m still updating things on the website here and there and actively updating and moderating both of the blogs on the site – the main News blog and the Tudor Q&A blog.

Hello all! Due to the upcoming sale of our house and move (back in to Austin proper – we’re out in a rural area near Elgin right now) my weekends are going to be completely eaten up soon. So, I’ve decided to put the podcast on hiatus for the summer. We’re hoping to take a vacation to Maine again this year too, so I’ll probably just aim to start back up in September or October. This will also give me a little time to think some more about a few format changes that I’ve been considering. And this will allow me to finally get on a schedule to put the podcast out at the beginning of a month instead of the end! 🙂

I apologize to all the folks who have emailed me telling me how much they look forward to the podcast every month since they’re going to have a bit of a wait for the next one now! But I’ll still be updating the website and news blog as time allows, so you can still get your “Tudor fix”.

Until the fall, fare thee well!

I really hate to break promises, but it looks like I’m going to have to this time. I’m pretty sure the earliest the podcast will get out now is going to be the first weekend of the new year (if I’m lucky). Due to a combination of a dead laptop, a bad cold, a boyfriend recovering from pneumonia and travel, I’m going to have to push the December podcast into January. I had about half of it ready to go but, of course, it is still on the laptop that won’t start. I should be able to get that fixed up in the next week or so. But, even if that worked, my voice is in no shape to record at the moment! Hopefully the cough and congestion will pass in the next couple of days and I’ll be able to record next weekend.

I hope everyone has a great new year!

I really, really tried to get the podcast finished by today so I could upload it before I went out of town, but last minute running around and packing has prevented it. I promise the December episode will be up before the month actually ends, but it won’t be until the 28th at the earliest.

I’ll be on the road most of the day tomorrow and then visiting with friends and family for a while, so updates may be sparse and slow. So, if I don’t get a chance to post again until the new year, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate this time of year! Here’s to a great 2008!
