About this listen
Episode 2
In this episode I visit John Wright at his home in West Dorset. John is passionate about fungi, writing, and homebrewing. John is an expert forager, many of us will have first encountered him in the River Cottage television series. Of all the books John has written, The Naming of the Shrew is his favourite. John loves latin names, etymology, and language; fortunately for all of us, John agreed to talk about those topics for this audio recording. He encourages you to forage through his writings, forays, talks and occasionally, TV and radio appearances.

Note: Looks like vulpinus is actually 'fox-like'.
