  • Summary

  • When a farmer grows a giant turnip and is rewarded by the king, his jealous brother plots to murder him. How will he escape his assassins? And does the titular turnip have anything to do with the plot?

    Find out in this episode, where we read The Turnip by the Brothers Grimm!

    After the story, we're led across a world of culture - from Pulp Fiction to Serbian hip-hop to the UK's obsession with giant vegetables.

    If you want to grow your own giant veg along with us, check out giantvegseeds.com.

    And here's a link to Rep Repa, for your listening pleasure.
