Podfic: "I'll Mount the Air on Swallow's Wings" for pod_together

So, regshoe and I did pod_together, er, together, and here's the result! It was clear from the beginning that we were going to do something inspired by folk songs, and I rambled about various songs that I like. And regshoe went with the idea that maybe Robert Burns' "Song Composed in August", most often known as "Westlin' Winds", was about a bird shape-shifter. My favorite version of that song is here, by the way, sung by Karine Polwart--it's so beautiful! Then she put various other ballads in for me to sing as part of the story, as well, which I always love to do. Also I learned about the ecology of grouse moors. It was a fun collaboration!
