Episode Synopsis

Today is a Sea Sunday, where we remember the seafarers who make so many of our modern day conveniences possible. We've got a classic British poem today, by John Masefield (1878-1967) who was English Poet Laureate from 1930-1967 and published Sea-Fever in 1902. Listen to the way the poem propels readers forward, as if calling us to join him to go along to the seas too!
