Seen & Unseen Aloud: the editor's cut

Need a little Christmas day recuperation? Sit back, relax and listen to a little Christmas compilation picked by senior editor Nick Jones.

Nick is the senior editor of Seen & Unseen.

A field of ploughed red soil leads down to a hedged lane.
Red Devon soil near South Hams.

For the Christmas season, the team at Seen & Unseen Aloud have put together Christmas Compilations from the past year: sit back and enjoy a curated stroll down memory lane - have we picked your favourites? 

In the second of our Christmas compilations, it's my turn to pick my favourites.

  • Pondering the power of place and how it roots us and asks us to play our part here and beyond.

  • Of the seven deadly sins Pride is egotism with a capital E.

  • How an aspect of the Christmas inspires an ethical response to social censure.

Thanks for listening.
