Welcome once again to Word on the Hills with me, Felicity Sidnell Reid, my co-host Gwynn and our audio editor Anne Sidnell. The approach of Christmas and the holiday season prompts us to make different kinds of programmes from our usual ones. It is a season for stories and poems and songs, so instead of interviews with one writer, we have asked a number of them to read their work for us. This is a re-run of the show we first broadcast in 2019. Today we welcome Shane Joseph, Linda Hutsell Manning, , Chris Cameron, Allan Seymour and Les Robling to read for us and singer songwriter Marie-Lynn Hammond, who will sing one of her own songs.
