Writing the book: structure, research and the wheel of the year

RHLSTP Book Club #174 - Finding Albion - Richard is back at the Podcast Room talking to DJ and probably the coolest person who has ever been on Book Club (not much contest) Zakia Sewell. They chat about her quest to discover the roots of Britishness in our folk traditions, whether Morris Men are good or evil and why some of them refuse to give up the dodgier aspects of the craft, Cheddar Man and how little his family travelled in 10,000 years, what the idea of indigenous Britain might even mean, confronting the less admirable aspects of British history and present, dressing up as a wolf in Cornwall,why the rest of the world should be grateful to England and what are Zakia’s hopes for the future?
