Bizarrely, one of my most popular playlists on Spotify is “Polish traditional music”. So I’ve done my research and filtered it down and hopefully I can make a show about it. I’ve got two playlists here today. One with the songs I’ve used in this episode, and one with a bit of a larger selection. Do check them both out!

Lyrics mentioned in the show: Two hearts four eyes. Crying all day and all night long. Dark eyes, you cry because we can’t be together. We can’t be together. My mother told me. You mustn’t fall in love with this boy. But I went for him anyway and I’ll love him until the end. I will love him until the end.
