• Issues with importing podcasts that make use of Podcasting 2.0 features have been reported in Captivate, the podcast hosting platform owned by Global. The company claims that a fix is in the works and will soon be available.

Sony Music Entertainment's hit podcast This is History, hosted by best-selling author, presenter and historian Dan Jones, has so far delved into the bloody chaos undertaken by the Plantagenet dynasty in their relentless pursuit to secure their legacy. But, the Plantagenets don't have a monopoly on dysfunctional empires, as listeners will discover in This is History's first spin-off series: This is History Presents... The Iron King. In a planned coup that maintains the tradition of history podcasters being called 'Dan', the new spin-off series will see Dan Jones hand over the narrative reins to Canadian Medievalist, author and broadcaster Danièle Cybulskie.Through six action-packed, graphically detailed and immersive episodes, Danièle will launch listeners headlong into the murderous regime of France's famously beautiful king, Philip the Fair. Despite his angelic face, Philip's cold, calculated and psychopathic tendencies see him adopt a no-holds-barred approach to Kingship - one that would make even House of the Dragon's Aemond Targaryen blush.
