b'In GBA 183 we get better acquainted with Vicky who I met through the Ministry of Stories where she works and we talk about engaging children through creative writing, working in a Monster Supplies shop, the human capacity for learning, how the French Horn is received in folk clubs, commuting between the country and the city, the joys of birdwatching, navigating the education system and so much more.\\n\\nVicky plugs:\\n\\nHer band the flowing: https://www.facebook.com/theflowing\\n\\nBirdwatching\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nMinistry of Stories: http://www.ministryofstories.org/\\nMinistry of Stories on Cbeebies: http://bit.ly/MiScbeebies\\nPoetry Garden: http://www.ministryofstories.org/planting-poetry/\\nAcrostic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrostic\\nMesostic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesostic\\nMatt Hill: http://rethinkdaily.co.uk/\\nThe Story: http://thestory.org.uk/\\nHoxton Monster Supplies: http://www.monstersupplies.org/\\nPlainchant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plainsong\\nEarly Folk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_music#Early_folk_music.2C_fieldwork_and_scholarship\\nYann Tiersen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yann_Tiersen\\nApples for Everyone: https://soundcloud.com/applesforeveryone\\nIsle of Grain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Grain\\nBoris Johnson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson\\nHow to Be a Bad Birdwatcher: http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Bad-Birdwatcher-Greater-Glory/dp/1904977057\\nJem Rolls: https://www.facebook.com/jem.rolls.1 - Bird Poem: https://pbhfreefringespokenword.bandcamp.com/track/i-know-what-the-birds-are-thinking-and-i-understand-that-look-in-their-eyes\\nRSPB Website bird songs: http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/birdidentifier/\\n\\n\\nYou can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.\\n\\nOn-demand and on the go!\\n\\nDon\\u2019t have Stitcher?
