    For October we’re amid grass-spiked sand dunes, where small birds scrap over autumn berries. Late bees search for nectar ahead of winter, a rare toad crouches amid the roses and sea buckthorn, and the wind whistles, carrying songs of mermaids in from the sea. In the water, flounders flip and shimmy through the shallows, while in the sky above we see the trail of a great comet. If you enjoyed October, we'd love you to vote for As the Season Turns in the Signal Listeners' Choice Awards.

    For September, we’re on a shingle beach, where the shifting pebbles reveal unexpected life. Tall stalks of wild fennel have long memories to share, while above us black-headed gulls call insistently in the fading sky. At sea, tiger-striped mackerel slip and shimmer through the waves, displacing the water as our feet dislodge small lichens on shore, where we listen out for story and song. This is an edgeland, where nothing stays the same for long... As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume.

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.
