Hello!  Sorry it took a bit longer to get this one out.  But here it is:

Episode 3: The Holy Roman Empire (Part 1)

In this episode we leave Martin Luther after his birth in 1483, and go back to the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, the rise of the Frankish Kings, culminating with the coronation of Charlemagne, the father of Europe.

Hope you enjoy, and please feel free to email me with any comments at: steve@martinlutherpodcast.com, or leave a comment here.

Thanks for listening!

In Episode 2 we learn the backstory to Luther’s family.

Good Morning!

Since I am definitely a “newbie” to the world of podcasting, I really didn’t know how to go about getting a show on iTunes.  All in all, it was easy, and relatively quick.   Yesterday late afternoon, I received word; The Life and Times of Martin Luther is now on iTunes!  So now, you can go over to iTunes, search for the show.  Look for the cover art, that will help, and download an episode. (Actually, I have added a link, so just click on Dr. Luther’s portrait below, and that will take you to the iTunes webpage.  Then, just go to view in iTunes, and you are there.) If your are feeling really brave, subscribe.  That way, when a new episode is published, and you open the app, it will download automatically, or at least, let you know that there is a new show.

Please listen, and please give “Five Stars!”  With more positive ratings and reviews, more people will be able to find the show.

Thanks for the support, and thanks for listening!!
