FLORILEGIUM - 19. Dr Faustus

In episode 19 Antonia and Kate come back together to discuss damnation and Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlow, what having the keys to the kingdom of heaven means (Matthew 16:13-19) and which plants look suspiciously benign but are acctually deadly as well as debunking myths of docks neutralising nettle stings. Music: One of us cannot be wrong by Leonard Cohen. Florilegium is a programme on Radio Maria which seeks to weave together liturgy, literature and  gardening in rambling, hopefully fruitful ways. It is written and presented by Kate Banks and Antonia Shack. About the Creators Antonia leads a patchwork life with jobs including but not limited to mother, book designer, editor, actor and teacher. She and Kate began discussing poetry, liturgy and gardening at the Willibrord Fellowship reading group in London and are delighted to be continuing these conversations on Radio Maria.  Kate is a teacher of Literature, Philosophy and Theology, with a particularly keen regard for the poet and artist David Jones around whom many of her studies and her teaching-subjects have been based. She also briefly worked as a gardener in London, though she now lives with her little boy on the river Exe in Devon.
