May is just around the corner, and it\u2019s a hectic one. Local Elections across the country take place next Thursday, two days before the King\u2019s Coronation in London. Then three days after that the Eurovision Song Contest kicks off in Liverpool, followed by the BAFTA Television Awards the day after! \ud83d\ude13<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a number of podcasts covering the Coronation. ITV News has launched The Royal Rota<\/strong><\/a>, brought to you by their Royal Editor Chris Ship, whilst The Daily Mirror has Pod Save The King <\/strong><\/a>by Ann Gripper and their Royal Editor Russell Myers. Meanwhile The Royal Parks Coronation Podcast<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>will look at the role the Royal Parks have had in the Coronations of the past and what preparations are underway for the upcoming one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an insight into why Coronations happen in the first place, listen out for History Hit\u2019s Gone Mediaeval<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>podcast, which did a special episode<\/strong><\/a> on that very topic. And Tony Robinson\u2019s Cunningcast<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>had a look at surreal Coronation traditions, such as why the King uses a sceptre and orb<\/strong><\/a> for the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a preview episode of the new Pod Save the UK podcast, which launches properly next week, the Pod Save America team talk to PSUK’s Nish Kumar and Coco Khan and give their own views on the Royal Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re interested in podcasts covering Eurovision, we\u2019ll be featuring a host of them in next week\u2019s newsletter, so look out in your inbox. And another quick reminder to say that we have launched our own Instagram page. Make sure you follow us on @GreatBritPods <\/a>for the latest podcast recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
