RE: Behind the Wellerman and other Shanties

Ahoy! We're Olly and Alex from Recording Earth, the traditional music channel, and this is our first podcast!

We've loved watching the Wellerman song doing the rounds on Tiktok, and thought it would be fun to dive into the origins, history and myths behind the Wellerman and other shanties. We hope you enjoy it!
