We are coming up to the end of Season 2 of Outlander. Both of these tv show episodes 211 and 212 lead up to the fateful battle of Culloden. In this podcast episode I go a little deeper into the Jacobite Rising of 1745. I discuss the main events and battles, the key players, tactics and weapons. It's a chronological journey through the Rising. I also add Jacobite songs along the way to enhance the journey.  List of Jacobite song clips used in podcast: Wha Wadna Fecht for Charlie performed by Max Dunbar White Cockade performed by the Corries Hey Johnny Cope performed by Marty - marty67 on soundcloud The Battle of Falkirk Muir performed by the Battlefield Band Sound the Pilbroch performed by Makem and Clancy Waes For Me Prince Charlie performed by Kenneth Mckellar My links: www.musicnmystery.wordpress.com outlandermusicandmystery@gmail.com To access all of my podcast episodes go to http://jenniferfeltmanmusic.podbean.com

We are back in Scotland! I combine episode 8, 9 and 10 of the Outlander TV Show, Season 2. All of these episodes center around the Jacobite Uprising of 1745. Episode 8 is about Jamie getting more of his fellow clan members to join the fight. Episode 9 is about preparing for battle, getting the troops ready and episode 10 is the first battle, The Battle of Prestonpans. I talk about Jamie's historical relative - the Chief of clan Fraser, Lord Lovat (the old fox). I focus on World War 2, the Simon Fraser who fought in that war (yes he is a relative), the role nurses played during the war and post traumatic stress disorder. Lastly i go over the historical battle of Prestonpans and of course I always throw in some music along the way.

What a powerful episode of TV to watch! This podcast episode deals with the 7th episode of the Outlander TV show, Season 2. Composer Bear Mccreary introduces a new theme song and what a beautiful and sad theme it is. The main topic for this podcast is pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage and stillbirth. I center around the historical aspects of these topics while bringing up how religious views and disease were huge influences. There is also a dab of psychology in there as well.

A combination episode of both the 5th and 6th episodes of Season 2 of the Outlander TV show. I chose two topics - Dueling and the Science and theories of Time Travel. I talk about the history of dueling and why dueling was banned. The topic of Time travel is an extensive one, so many theories. Over the years philosophers and scientist have been fascinated with time. Do you agree with any of their arguments?

The Comte Saint Germain is becoming more of a central character. I talk about the role he plays in episode 4, Season 2 of Outlander. He is a mysterious man, who seems to know the occult, a man who is trying to get revenge...but who is he really? This entire podcast episode is devoted to the historical figure the Comte Saint Germain (yes he was a real person). Who was he? Where was he from?

The Goldberg Variations was performed by Robert Hill.

The Outlander TV show is back and Season 2 is finally here. I thought Droughlander would never end. In this podcast episode I go over the music in Through A Glass Darkly, we have a re-invented Main Title theme and the music for Season 2 has changed quite a bit from what we heard in season 1. I talk about musical themes that I heard in the TV Show episode, the instruments used and reference Bear Mccrearys blog. The main topic of this episode is Smallpox, I talk about the history of the disease, how it spread, the various forms and treatments throughout the centuries, with a focus on smallpox in 18th century Europe. I end the episode with how the vaccination came about and the man behind it.  My links: outlandermusicandmystery@gmail.com www.musicnmystery.wordpress.com To access all of my podcast episodes go to http://jenniferfeltmanmusic.podbean.com

Music has always been a huge part of the Celtic World. The passing down of folk songs, the drinking songs.....sharing that music is a tradition that will continue throughout the years. In this episode I share one special night of that exchange of Celtic song. A group of people coming together to share songs, to listen and to join in the celebration. This isn't a performance, just an informal, casual setting, where everyone is having a great time, drinking and sharing their passion for Celtic music. The singing circle at the Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix, AZ is held on the first Friday of every month at 730pm. Everyone is welcome to come, you can share a song or just listen. It is free and open to all. I hope enjoy this musical experience as much as I did.
