    The first season of Camlann was made possible with funding from Creative Scotland and the Inevitable Foundation. We’ll be applying for funding to make more. Funding applications do much better if shows have: high listener figures, public reviews, and if they can provide some of their own seed money to get started. So please consider leaving us a review, donating to our Ko-Fi or Patreon @camlannpod, or just telling a friend about the show. We really appreciate it.
