The anticipation of spring has begun to take shape before our very eyes. What better way to celebrate this happening, than a sneak-peek into what's been blossoming about in our little garden. But our adventure doesn't end there -we'll also dive into some unusual words from our 900 page dictionary circa 1936. So, why is it that the word caterpillar has such a lengthy definition? In what way is the goose barnacle associated with the humble buckthorn? And, what might another word be for cathedral?
After our playful discussion, we’ll head into our usual interlude of tunes from the archive, with tracks by Blacktop, Kokoroko, Ben Webster, Mammal Hands, and excerpts from Six Songs for Invisible Gardens.
