I hope you are having a good Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. To keep everyone (hopefully) happy, I have done three different intros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF YOU ARE A ROYALIST\u2026 <\/strong>There are many podcasts exploring the Jubilee. The Historic Royal Palaces<\/strong><\/a>, a series that looks at the history of the six Royal palaces, contains a lot of interesting facts and tidbits (for example: the next Jubilee will be if the Queen serves for 80 years, and it\u2019ll be referred to as the Oak Jubilee). It also explores the Superbloom<\/a> moat being built at the Tower of London, which will be open to the public later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also podcasts delving into the history of the Royal Family (and Jubilees) in general. Short History Of\u2026<\/strong><\/a> has got a two-part special on the life of Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>whilst Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook\u2019s The Rest Is History<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has an episode looking at the jubilee celebrations of George V, Queen Victoria and George III. Meanwhile, NBC\u2019s Keir Simmons has just launched Born to Rule: When Charles is King<\/strong><\/a>, which will look at the future of the Throne and the challenges the monarchy will face in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also podcasts for younger listeners. Everything Under The Sun<\/strong><\/a>, a podcast where experts answer questions sent in from children, is celebrating its 100th episode this week. Dame Joanna Lumley (!!!) <\/strong>joined the episode to answer the question \u201cDoes the Queen carry money around with her?,\u201d sent in from 9-year-old Isabelle. The Fun Kids podcast Activity Quest<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>has a Jubilee special, exploring the history of London\u2019s Westminster Abbey<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN\u2026 <\/strong>The Retrospectors<\/strong><\/a>, a podcast that looks at this event in history, has an episode on the history of the iconic anti-establishment Sex Pistols record \u2018God Save The Queen\u2019<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>If you\u2019re also watching the Danny Boyle Pistol <\/em>series, charting the history of the band, listen to the British Scandal<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>series on the band too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF YOU DON\u2019T CARE EITHER WAY<\/strong>\u2026 Funnily enough there are many podcasts that don\u2019t feature the Queen at all, including all of the podcasts below in this newsletter! Fancy that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
