It's very merry episode of Fragments - The Lincoln Crying Christmas Ceremony 1564
It’s December 1564, the place Lincoln – and as today where there’s a little ceremony to switch on the Christmas lights, or open a Christmas Fair, lo the Common Council of Lincoln had a similar event to mark the beginning of Christmas
The Crying Christmas text is mostly extant, with just a few edges lost in places - we’ve left the gaps in place, reimagining the event in the present day with a knackered PA that cuts the speakers off.
So, sit back and enjoy the speeches of the three senators performed by Alex Scott Fairley, Emma Kemp, and Liza Graham.
Hosted and produced by Robert Crighton, with additional sound effects from www.zapsplat.com

There isn't a particularly helpful title for this dialogue, it's very long - so this is a compromise of "A dialogue or communication to be had at a table between two children, gathered out of the holy scriptures, by John Bale, for his two young sons, John and Paul." It's not a particularly dramatic dialogue, but it fits in with the other evangelical texts we've been exploring.
With Liza Graham and Robert Crighton - a full uninterupted recording of the text will follow. In fact, patrons can listen to that now.

Here's the second of two special crossover episodes with Emily C A Synder of the Hamlet to Hamilton podcast. It's actually second of five, but these two come as a mini set. We have been dancing through texts from the medieval up to the reign of Elizabeth on their podcast, and now we're doing the same over on ours - with the 1560's. It's a case of thinking aloud, and seeing what comes up. We're midway through the decade, let's see where we end up.
Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama is an educational podcast from TURN TO FLESH PRODUCTIONS Audio Network. Teaching how to write and perform new verse drama. Hosted by Emily C. A. Snyder. Edited by Colin Kovarik.
SEASON ONE: Writing Verse Drama

This week it's another chat with Dr Darren Freebury-Jones about... a lot of playwrights. This chat most stays within the Elizabethan world of dramatists, inspired by Dr Jones book Sxxxxxxxxx's Borrowed Feathers, which will be available in October 2024. So there's a lot about Marlowe, Lyly, Kyd, Greene and Peele, and then we ran out of time. Our previous chat on Robert Greene is available here - https://audioboom.com/posts/7983772-discussing-robert-greene-and-alphonsus
Dr Darren Freebury-Jones is author of the monographs: Reading Robert Greene: Recovering Shakespeare’s Rival (Routledge), Shakespeare’s Tutor: The Influence of Thomas Kyd (Manchester University Press), and Shakespeare’s Borrowed Feathers (Manchester University Press). He is Associate Editor for the first critical edition of The Collected Works of Thomas Kyd since 1901 (Boydell and Brewer). He has also investigated the boundaries of John Marston’s dramatic corpus as part of the Oxford Marston project and is General Editor for The Collected Plays of Robert Greene (Edinburgh University Press). His findings on the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries have been discussed in national newspapers such as The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Observer, and The Independent as well as BBC Radio. In 2023 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in recognition of his contributions to historical scholarship.
SHAKESPEARE'S BORROWED FEATHERS: HOW EARLY MODERN PLAYWRIGHTS SHAPED THE WORLD'S GREATEST WRITER
Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work.
From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.
