This is the first PetitPod Episode! Today we talk about Lews Castle. These are small recordings on a variety of topics, not in an interview style, but rather just me and a microphone.

Groome describes the landscape as: "...so beautiful and well laid out that both gardens and grounds compare favourably with any in Scotland..."

Welcome! This was a fun choice, as PetitPod episodes can be on any topic I choose to discuss. However, castles, cathedrals, and particularly anything medieval, always catches my fancy.

Book Recommendations: (Non-Fiction) Harris Tweed, from land to street by Lara Platman | (Fiction) Any book by Peter May such as The Lewis Trilogy or The Blackhouse

Dr. Hoi Cheu joins me in an interview about linguistics of Mandarin, literature he has studied, and the music he enjoys.

"In voting which would be the national language, Mandarin won by one vote....To be selfless and make an argument, I think it is the right thing. Cantonese is hell to learn. It has a much richer tonality difference, really really difficult for anybody to learn..."

This is the first Bonus Episode, thank you for coming! Dr. Cheu discussed linguistics, literature, and music.

Book Recommendations: | (Fiction) Ulysses or Dubliners by James Joyce

This episode is about the beginning of Feast Day (today!) with Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the Patron Saint of animals, ecology, and merchants.

According to Wolf : "Even secular scholars, bent on approaching the saint from a more detached historical perspective, have invariably, if inadvertently, left Francis on the pedestal where they found him".

Join me in a small biography of Francis, from the beginning of his life in a well-respected family milieu to the extreme poverty he chose, and on to the foundation of the Franciscan order.

Then I try to lift out the more popular mythologies around his later life, surrounding himself with animals.
