A festive reindeer wonderland

Have yourself a serene little Radio 3 Christmas with the sounds of reindeer, festive music and a secret, enchanted wood.

Have yourself a serene little Radio 3 Christmas with the sounds of reindeer, festive music and a secret, enchanted wood. This special edition of the Slow Radio Podcast comprises two very different audio recordings. The first is of reindeer, and more of them than you鈥檇 need to pull even a very high profile sleigh. No, this recording, contributed by 大象传媒 Four, is of 2,500 of the creatures as they slowly migrate, clinking their bells and eating. And the reindeer are followed by a December sunrise recording made by Chris Watson of Holystone North Wood in Northumberland. Listen out for tawny owls, chaffinches, blue tits, robins and carrion crows.
