Wonderful interviews, beautiful music, and such a phenomenal sense of place that I feel nostalgic and homesick for places I've never been. One of my favorite podcasts. brilliant

Description

“Modest people, playing gorgeous music, speaking articulately about areas they love. Fabulously calming” – one listener’s description of this multi-award-winning podcast in which Matthew Bannister goes walking with top folk musicians in the landscapes that have inspired them. “A restorative breathing space in sound” – The Telegraph. “Immaculately produced” – The Times
