Welcome to my series about nocturnal animals. This is The Truth About Toads, with me Helen Swan, for Soundart Radio 102.5fm. . Now don’t let toads put you off. Stay with me, and be amazed. I’ve got psychoactive toads, jewelled toads, and toad in the hole, poetry, tunes and fantastical legends about our humble toad. I’ve even got my very first specially commissioned song, about toads, from Heather Joyce.
