November 11, 2020 'Pike' (1959) by Ted Hughes
S3E25 Let's have a day off the Plantagenets and King Arthur, and go fishing with Ted Hughes in a pond as deep as England.
Funnily enough, what we reel in will take us right back to Shakespeare, as we discuss everything from Williamson's Salmon to Wittgenstein's Lion.
