the Monocle Summer Series Podcasts
It’s nearing the end of my workload, and as I anticipate it, and our family trek to Canada, I am enjoying the Monocle Summer Series.
Just in time for the weekend, and filled with sunshine and laughter – these podcasts get me in the mood, and help turn the dial in my brain from “grey winter – wet spring” to “sun-splashed sweaty summer”. It’s hard to do it on your own when you are stuck inside.
Fittingly, the Monocle site has pages filled with illustrations by Satoshi Hashimoto to accent that summery feeling. Lovely, as usual.
Edition 1 featured Swedish Quiet Nights Orchestra. It’s a perfect start.

oh, have not come across anybody so far with an appreciation for the monocle podcasts as much as i do! how great are they!?! Quiet nights orchestra was really lovely; unfortunately i can only get their cd through the web in nyc.
this week’s bird was quite lovely too- if they continue with the style and format of the summer series with similar music guests I mightnt want them to go back to their original shorter podcast format!
