Bristol poet Georgina Hopkins reflects on Britain's changing summers and the welcome return of rain, while Forest of Dean writer Carol Sheppard turns her attention to the age-old rivalry between ravens and crows. Performer Melanie Branton joins the programme with an entertaining extract from The Full English, exploring the impact of the Norman Conquest on the words we use today.

There's poetry from Elsie Rhymes inspired by journeys through the South West, a humorous look at family holidays from Charlotte Mossop, and a visit to the wonderfully peculiar world of Grimhaven Community Radio, a new comedy podcast created by Devizes writer Alex Brunsdon. The programme rounds off with a poetic retelling of the story of Alexander the Great from Bristol writer Jonathan Evans.
