Gretel le Maître Ponders, with Bede & other guests

Send us a text

Good evening and thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you to my new subscriber Majorie: I really appreciate your support so very much.

If you have time and appreciate anything about this funny old podcast, I would love it if you would kindly rate the podcast, or give it a thumbs up; perhaps send an episode to a friend who is isolated, grieving, or might be appreciative of the eclectic and home-spun (unprofessional 🫣) style. Most days I get sent offers of in-podcast ads that would bring a little income but I turn all down - as I always will - in order to keep this an uninterrupted piece of authenticity. But there is a way to support me, by clicking on ‘support the podcast’ and donate the smallest amount you like as a one-off or per month. Thank you for those that do and a few times a year I’ll send something small in the post as a thank you.

Some items for the future:

1. Conversation with art historian Philip Mould

2. Conversation with BBC journalist John Smith

3. A visit to the private quarters of Windsor Castle

4. All of Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree, as our Book for Advent

5. More from: the Brontes, Dickens, Hardy, Sayers and other loved authors and poets

6. A visit to Kent

7. One day cricket at Lord’s

8. Visits to more of England’s main cathedrals and Abbeys

9. A conversation with Angela Tilby

10. A pilgrimage to the land of Bede, and more of his works
