    For March, we’re by the river - where ancient fishes swim amid the water weeds, and not every spring green is as lovely as it appears. Today, we hear tell of strange dreams, look out for Zodiacal Light, and listen out for birdsong, that harbinger of spring. Also singing is Lisa Knapp, with her version of the traditional song, 'Hares on the Mountain'. 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

  • Found Sound for February: Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn

    Found Sound for February: Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn
    Feb 13 2026
    For February’s Found Sound, Alice Boyd visits Muireann Ní Sheoighe Eachthighearn, one of only a handful of female luthiers, or fiddle makers, working in Ireland. Alice records the many interesting sounds of Muireann’s practice - from a chisel in maple to the sound of water hitting a hot bending iron. 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

    This month, we’re out on the marsh - exposed beneath the fleeting February sky. Wading birds chatter and forage around us as we note the names of grasses, and hunt for sea beet and will o' the wisps. Silver fish slip through the shallows, and as we get closer to the sea a song of the shipping forecast drifts across the water.
