Kings and Queens

Contrast Podcast has the theme of royalty for this week but, despite being an interesting topic to add my own contribution, I managed to somehow miss the deadline. You can find the link right here or look at the blogroll. This oversight is, of course, nothing new as I rarely seem to get round to doing the necessary thinking/recording/sending etc. I see this as a sign of either old age or laziness or stupidity. Probably all three. Anyway I thought I'd take the opportunity of adding my own recommendations to the already fine list below:

Playlist:
