Wend your way with us through an April day - through the blossoming orchard, to Japan for our monthly tree ritual, under the oak trees with Zoe, our resident forager, and up into the dusky air with emerging bats. Soundtracked by Sam Lee's song for April, 'The Cuckoo'. '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.
