Boy Do I Love Te

I'm a proud future owner of a Camlann tape 🙋🏼 I clicked so very fast when I got the notification. So excited for it to arrive🔥!

WE HAVE CASSETTE TAPES!

Yep, you read that right, you can now acquire Camlann's beautiful original soundtrack by @tincanaudio on cassette. It features some incredible art too - including a cover by @arianwells and graphic design and illustrations by Moira Daykin!

You can buy a cassette here from Bandcamp for just £9 (triads, get it?), and we are shipping worldwide!

There are only 100 of these cassettes, and Amber will be hand-numbering each one. They really are unique.

All proceeds raised from the sales will go towards making season 2, which is a thing we are still trying to do and will only be able to do with your help.

Keep the fires burning.

I am once again on my soap box about @camlannpod

The heroes of this podcast are actively running from their fate, from the myths and stories attached to their names. They are trebucheted into a world of royalty, knights, monsters, enchanted forests and magic. But the thing about our heroes is they are irredeemable nerds and even while trying to escape the narratives laid out for them, they:

Get excited about the prospect of historical reenactment clothes/costumes

Enjoy being able to exercise their nerd-knowledge in this new world (e.g., Perry and how the iron in the electric fence repels the Fair Folk)

Talk about how the mythical names they were either given or chose are still special to them.

But there's more.

On my fourth listen, it really stuck me how much this podcast is about defying the path laid out for you, especially when it comes to who you love.

It's also about the complicated beauty of families of choice, the communities of love and support we build with people who we don't share blood with.

And lastly (but certainly not leastly) it's about the power of names, what it means to take, keep or let go of them.

Might have to go back and give it a fifth listen.

I am in awe at the perfection of this, just captures the scene so well. Thank you so much @ollyrewind 😭❤️!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/49812313/chapters/125741818

The stars tell us of a great king. They rise, the pole star will ascend the heavens with the constellations of the king's namesake upon the higher cycles of the Earth, foretelling his rise and the golden age that he will bring. His age will go on and on and reach its peak in the far future when the pole star comes to occupy the truest central position in the heavens.

You are strongly advised not to feed the ducks in this pond.

In a fit of pure work calendar muscle memory I invited my boss to my doctor's appointment.

Off to a great start today, lads.
