The Knowne World Bardcast
The Knowne World Bardcast is a podcast for the populace of the Knowne World of the Society for Creative Anachronism. Our purpose is to unite bards, minstrels, musicians, storytellers and all other performing artists in the SCA and to provide a digital archive of the songs and stories of Scadian life as well as introducing bards of previous and current generations to the Knowne World at Large. The KWB is not directly affiliated with or endorsed by the Society for Creative Anachronism and is a an independent production of DeepNerd Media. Your host and curator is Lord Gideon ap Stephen of the Barony of Hawkwood, apprentice to Mistress Rosalind Jehanne and Master Dunstan Le Herryngmonger.
We feature in this episode some pieces which were performing in the Kingdom of Atlantia during Ymir in late winter. Live recordings are challenging, and where the last Ymir episode was all live, this one presents only one live recording from the event. The rest were created elsewhere, some especially for this episode!

A storytelling special featuring legendary tellers including the KWB debut of Master Rudarhi an Cu of Atlantia!
A while back I started a project researching the names given to the GOA level awards here in Atlantia that are named after creatures (Kraken-Heavy, Sea Stag-Teaching Fighting, and Golden Dolphin -Service). What I found out from interviewing some early Atlantians who helped name these awards was that there's no real backstory---they thought an "Atlantis Theme" was cool. So I've sent out to integrate actual Atlantian history into legends and myths that could be used in ceremonies, lore, anything the populace wants. I'm also working with our current Poet Laureate on compiling these along with poems about the other awards that aren't beasty based into something a little more comprehensive. This is the first of the Straeon Atlantiadd (The Atlantian Stories in Welsh): The Sea Stag.

ou may have heard of some of the trials my kingdom has undergone as of late, and hopefully you've heard of the good and gentle folk that have stood up in the face of really, really bad things. One of those standing first was Duke Cuan Macdaige. I had complimented Duke Cuan on the good work he had done in the stand our populace has taken against predators and people who wounded and divided our Kingdom. He told me that if I wanted to thank him, I'd write a song--but not about him. He wanted a song about how Atlantia is bigger than any one bad person. A song defining Atlantia as a people in service to a dream, not to any man. I collaborated with my brother bard Master Johann, and this is that song.
Our latest kingdom episode! This time the mighty Tiger Kingdom shows up with a whole new record of kingdom anthems and glory!!
This is a reading of the sonnet I entered as part of the Poeta Atlantiae competition at Ruby Joust. This poem was read aloud in court as a memorial to Syr Aldrydd (mka Rich Stryker). I had received requests for a recorded reading, so I produced this short mini-sode.
