    This June we’re by the creek, trying not to get stuck in the rich mud as we forage for samphire and other salty snacks. In the water there are eels, travelling just one stage of their incredible life cycles, and above it flit dragon- and damselflies, and bright blue demoiselles. The rising wind whispers old tales - and a midsummer’s love song that calls on us to get outside. As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume. To find out more visit www.ffern.co

The information and delivery are wonderful, like sinking into a warm bath. There is a real sense of place and the narration makes you feel as if you are there too. Unfortunately, the musical interludes are distracting and jarring. The music itself is not the issue but the singing is, quite frankly, awful. I have no doubt that many pep!e enjoy it but it's not for me.
