"Borders: The Debatable Lands" on WGBH Sound and Spirit
I don't know how old this show is, but I just stumbled across it this afternoon:
For hundreds of years on the border between Scotland and Northern England, violence was a part of everyday life - and valiant deeds were celebrated in some of the most powerful story songs in the English language. Ellen Kushner explores the unique music and traditions of the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, and follows the way this rich and violent tradition helped shape the culture of America today.

As always, great stuff from Ellen Kushner! (Running time about 60 min.)
