The Watership Down Podcast

RE-UPLOAD 15: Bigwig's Character and the Lost Paragraph 15.1 Burrowkeeping I made my favourite mistake yet last week, when I referred to 'The Warren of the Snares' as 'The Warren of the Swears' That would make for a completely different story. One where they have to leave Cowslip's Warren because Fiver has an issue with all the bad language. Which is a bit rich for a rabbit who comes out with such...

RE-UPLOAD 13: Chapter 17. The Shining Wire 13.1 Snares Before I researched this episode, I vaguely assumed that the use of snares was now illegal in the UK. It isn't. And I am embarrassed not to have already realised this. There is no excuse for using such a cruel and fundamentally lazy method as snaring. There is a campaign to ban the use of snares in the UK that I fully support. They can be foun...

RE-UPLOAD 8: Chapters 10 and 11: The Road and the Common and Hard Going 8.1 Housekeeping: I referred briefly to Speedwell waking up Acorn It was Hawkbit waking up Speedwell only. Bigwig's phrase "u embleer rah" suggests a more complex meaning of "u", possibly meaning "you" as well as "the" depending on context. Interesting discussion of the book in the latest episode of the 'Read it twice' podcast...

RE-UPLOAD 6.1 Chapter 8: The Crossing A shorter episode this time. Possibly pushed my luck with 3 chapters at one go. There is a possibility of an episode in the near future in which I discuss the two most recent audiobooks of WD with another fan of the book, comparing Ralph Cosham’s interpretation with that of Peter Capaldi. On to Chapter 8: Opens with the first biblical quotation, from the Acts...

RE-UPLOAD 5.1: Housekeeping re. Blackberry and Dandelion and the first conversation: I didn't actually say it. Also must say "geek" less. First shout outs to Nati Plavin and Will Fuller. Thank you for your lovely comments. Also a comment, from Nathan Holec that the podcast is a bit quiet. I only record it on my smartphone, so I can believe that. The working title for WD was 'Hazel and Fiver' appar...
