Ponders, with Bede & other guests podcast

Gretel le Maître likes to look for the beauty and curiosities in life, one day at a time.  She shares with you snippets from books about history, art and literature and regularly takes you on adventures to new locations, to explore churches, cathedrals and architecture.  

Gretel invites you to accompany her as she navigates the world a day at a time;  the podcast is unscripted, it’s ad-free, and you’re invited to join in.  There’s space in the warm tent for everyone; there’s tea in the pot 🫖.   It’s super unpolished and Gretel would be grateful for you to forgive her for that.  Polish would be too time-consuming 🤓

Gretel loves the world and history, architecture, literature and people. And so is determined to walk this path with light footsteps and with humour and warmth.  🌞
