It ends as it began, with the first ever recorded episode of Encounters with King's College Chapel.

Eva Lemmy is a recent graduate of King's College Cambridge, having graduated in the summer of 2025. During her time at King's, Eva tackled studying English Literature, transferring to Business and Management, and putting on multiple dramatic performances. Each of these is a brilliant and challenging achievement in its own right. But perhaps Eva's most challenging achievement was to propose putting on a play filled with 'bloody murders' in King's College Chapel in the first place.

Join Dr Stephen Cherry and Eva as they discuss the challenges and reasons behind putting on a 3-night run of Macbeth in the Chapel, and why the "Scottish Play" is an oddly fitting performance for this sacred space.

We hope you have enjoyed listening to this series as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Encounters with King's College Cambridge was created by Dr Stephen Cherry.

Aside from the immediate staff of King's College Chapel, Provost Gillian Tett (OBE) is likely spends more time in the Chapel than anyone else. Matriculation, ceremonies for new fellows, memorial services. Gillian's role as Provost of King's College is so intertwined with the Chapel, she has her own stall - commissioned by none other than King Henry VIII. She's also likely to be the only Provost in history to get married in the chapel.

Join Dr Stephen Cherry and King's College Provost Gillian Tett as they take you on a walking tour of the space that at first, often intimidates new King's students, but ultimately becomes their training ground for taking on some of the world's most intimidating professional arenas.

One of the working titles for this podcast was More than Carols, after all this series is about preserving and sharing the spoken word of King's College Chapel. But then we got the opportunity to interview the phenominal BBC Studios team behind Carols from King's, and the title had to change.

But the BBC Studios team really are a part of what makes King's College Chapel the icon that it is. And so much of the expertise of that team is that increasingly rare kind of expertise. An intangible knowledge. A knowledge that can't come from books. The kind of knowledge that can only come from decades of learning a craft on the job, and constantly striving for the highest possible standard (even if that involves reusing a bit of old BBC car park to light a choir).

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it. And from all of us at King's we hope you have a very happy Christmas.
