February

For February, Sam Lee gives us a bold new version of 'Oakham Poachers', a traditional ballad recorded in Gloucestershire. In the orchard, we explore mistletoe folklore and select apple trees for planting. Zoe goes foraging for jack by the hedge, while our mammal of the month has a striped face, a grey back and a big personality... And Lia tells the Norse tale of Baldur, Frigg and the mistletoe. 'As the Season Turns' is a podcast created by Ffern in collaboration with the nature writer and author of the Seasonal Almanac, Lia Leendertz. Lia is joined by novelist Zoe Gilbert and folk musician Sam Lee. Sam's traditional song was arranged by himself (vocals) with James Keay (piano) and Niko O’Brien (percussion). The track was recorded and mixed by Niko. This podcast is produced by Geoff Bird and Catriona Bolt. Each episode, released on the first of the month, is a guide to what to look out for in the month ahead - from the sky above to the land below. Ffern is an organic fragrance maker based in Somerset.
