Wander with us through a soft September day. We’ll gather fruit in the orchard, and blackberries and rosehips in the hedges - and eat them. Sam Lee gives us a new version of the old song 'Polly Vaughan', while this month’s mammal lives by water.

'As the Season Turns' is a podcast created by Ffern in collaboration with the nature writer and author of the Seasonal Almanac, Lia Leendertz. Lia is joined by novelist Zoe Gilbert and folk musician Sam Lee. Sam's traditional song was arranged by himself (vocals) with James Keay (piano) and Niko O’Brien (percussion and mixing). This podcast is produced by Geoff Bird and Catriona Bolt. Each episode, released on the first of the month, is a guide to what to look out for in the month ahead - from the sky above to the land below. Ffern is an organic fragrance maker based in Somerset.
