An accidental wildlife haven grows along the Iron Curtain and a poet and a tree surgeon look for the roots of a metaphor. Josie Long presents shorts on the ground under your feet.

A remnant from the Cold War becomes an accidental haven for wildlife, a poet and a tree surgeon search for the roots of a metaphor, and a musician searches for an anchor to home. Josie Long presents short documentaries and audio adventures about the ground beneath your feet.
