Did you know that you can listen to many of your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds?

Like Desert Island Discs, where you can hear castaways like Cher,

Gareth Southgate and Nick Cave, and enjoy longer versions of the music they've picked.

Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC sounds we've got the monarch who wears a 16

glen this is a beautiful beautiful costume, and that's the deer skin that you used in there.

Yeah, so this is Deerhide from an estate in Fife, which has been tanned naturally with bark.

I can't remember which bark it was now by a local tanner in Fife.

And this is a cod piece made from deer hide as well with

some gold furniture tassels it's not often you see a cod piece these days Hannah no no there's a

number of cod pieces well there's three cod pieces and one sporren in this show and this is a sequins, gold sequins.

The deer fascination, tell me about that.

So I've been researching dances from around the world, traditional dances from around the world,

are kind of encoded in the dancers, and then also how these dances encode particular

forms of masculinity.

They're all performed by men, traditionally, and these forms of masculinity draw on the behaviours and the gestures of male deer.
