First Day -- Introduction

Welcome to BookFarmers, a podcast about books, farming, and other interesting things. Bringing you what's tasty from farmstand to bookshelf.

Join us during the Covid-19 lockdown as we read Boccachio's The Decameron, a collection of 100 short stories told by characters who are sheltering together to escape the plague. Written in 1353, the book takes place over ten days, with ten stories told per day, centering on a daily theme. Funny, raunchy, and heartbreakingly timely, The Decameron makes the Middle Ages come alive to the Modern listener.
