This will be the last episode of 2011.

I have decided to take an indefinate break from doing the show. As much as I love doing it, I feel as though I’ve said everything there is to say. I’ve covered this topic from every conceivable angle that and now that William and Catherine are married and the succession rules have changed, I don’t know what else there is to cover.So I’m taking a break to re-evaluate the future of the show.

My archives at BlogTalkRadio will still be available to listen to. Over the past four years I think I’ve done some good episodes there, so you’re welcome to treasure hunt!

Thanks for listening!
