The Audio Almanac
by Lucy Imogen
This is a podcast about seasonal change, human festivals and what connects us.Hello! I'm Lucy. I'm on a journey through the seasonal year and you're invited! After discovering the wheel of the year and deciding I wanted to build a spirituality that was linked to nature, I wanted to learn about all the ways in which humans from all different cultures have done just that. This podcast is the result: a mixture of folklore, science, found sounds and reflection. Join me as I explore the festivals, nature and themes of each point in the year, and share thoughts on life and meaning that are both intimate and expansive.
