Winter usually gets a bad rap, but this season of darkness holds its own magic. In today’s episode, Katherine is joined by YGGT’s editor Belle Battista, to discuss the gifts this season has to offer. We talk about the Danish practice of hygge, how nature survives the freezing temperatures, and some practices you could try to celebrate the return of the light with the winter solstice.

You can check out Katherine May’s book Wintering, find Belle’s toad story from All Creation Waits, and other wintery suggestions in our new online bookshop! We’ve just created an affiliate page through Bookshop.org. They connect readers with independent booksellers, and your purchase helps them compete in the global marketplace. (And if you order through our shop, we earn a commission too.)

You can find and order any of the books we mentioned in today’s episode--or any previous episode--from our page at Bookshop.org.

Thanks to Belle Battista, who pulled double duty this week as my guest and editor!
