    For July, we’ve arrived by the sea - strolling along the rocky shore to find fossils at our feet, while swifts and swallows whisk along the sand. The rockpools burst with anemones and crabs, and we forage for seaweed along the tidelines. Lisa Knapp sings goodbye to the cuckoo, soon to fly from these shores. As the Season Turns is an award-winning podcast presented by Lia Leendertz and created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume.

  • Found Sound for June : Muco

    Found Sound for June : Muco
    Jun 19 2026
    For June, Alice travels to Swanage in Dorset to meet the songwriter and composer Muco. Together they take a walk through Studland Woods, where he spent time as a child, reflecting on the influence of his mother and father on his love of words, his passion for old and middle English and his love of interpreting stories and folklore from Burundian and English traditions. As they walk Muco plays folk songs with the Inanga to bring in the Summer. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive. They are part of As the Season Turns, an award-winning podcast 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.
