🦉 Today the podcast takes a very different approach to last episode, as we head through the trees on a bit of a Cornish epic.

We meet different characters amongst the graves, including Tony Doc Shiels, Leonora Carrington... and Ithell Colquhoun!

But will they be able to help us...?

Welcome to the new format! The almanac will now be uploaded as an individual video here (streaming platforms), with the main show uploaded separately. As is done on Youtube.

This is in acknowledgement of time sensitivity for episodes - as many people listen in the archive, often years later, and the almanac at the end of an episode may not be relevant!
