Episode notes

Bassoon is a double-readed instrument, which means it's closest relative to the oboe. The Spanish word for bassoon is faggot - an insult and type of food in France. You can find every now and then you go into a boulangerie in Paris where they sell savoury breads with price tags that say 'faggot'

Kate Billington returns to LEP for the third time, to drink tea, talk about my pod-room, learning the bassoon, exam results, learning Chinese, responding to listener comments and talking about her videos on TikTok.
