Weathercocks

Summer has arrived! Pour yourselves a large gin and tonic, find a nice patch of garden and relax with the weathercocks.

This week the Beast from the East has brought extreme wintry weather to Britain's shores, the likes of which we haven't seen for years. It's been a snow lover's dream, but if you're a tad intrigued as to why it's all happened and what part storm Emma has played in the action, then the Weathercocks are here with the answers in the form of a funny little song. N.B. this podcast is also suitable for fans of monastic chanting.

Is there more snow in the forecast? How big would a building have to be to have its own weather? Do the weathercocks still think "The Schaff" is alright? Answers within!

As the first snow of the winter falls outside we have a nice long ramble chat about weather in films: crazy weather; inaccurate weather; weather that stills the beating heart of the silver screen and jolts it back to life with a lightning flash! Then in one of the heartiest helpings of pudding in this podcast's brief history, we rip off The Bugle and go on a competitive pun run, featuring some of the squirmiest puns ever to pass human lips. Enjoy!

Update on the recent snowy weather in the UK, brought to you by the Weathercocks.

We kick off this episode with some extreme weather: after unraveling the mystery of the Red Sun that the UK experienced last month, we take a look at this year's very active hurricane season. Then it's all about what every Weathercock loves best - the winter! Gather round for our definitive official winter forecast. And if that gives you the shivers, warm up with some steaming hot weather pudding as Big Jimmy, JRap and NattyB go head to head in a rap battle. Yes that's right, a RAP BATTLE!

Cast your ears back to mid-August and the faint murmurings of a long gone summer. We're back! After a seasonal hibernation Weathercocks return with an episode that almost never made it to air. We journey from microclimates to the world premiere of the Weathercocks poetry pudding battle via the pile of beautiful weathery nonsense that is the film The Day After Tomorrow. Enjoy!
