Sparrow-Folk are thrilled to have been booked for a big new gig. Inspired by Lark’s new baby, Fox decides to have a baby herself… as soon as she can find someone to have it with. When Lark and Magnus’s sofa meets a terrible fate, Magnus, as Sparrow-Folk’s new manager, promises to manage a replacement lounge as well as the band.

Tucked between the chaos of daily life and the strum of a ukulele, you'll find Sparrow-Folk: Adventures in SuBIRDia. This isn't a polished studio production; it's the real, messy, and wonderfully funny sound of two friends figuring it all out. Fox and Lark are middle-aged women navigating distinctly different, yet equally relatable, trenches. Lark is in the thick of it with a young family and a teaching career on pause, while Fox manages the complexities of solo motherhood pursuits, a public service job, and a tricky relationship with her mother. Their conversations are the heart of this podcast, offering a candid blend of comedy and connection that feels like eavesdropping on your wisest, wittiest friends. Of course, being Sparrow-Folk, their Fem Glam Folk music is never far away. The ukuleles come out, original songs are born from their experiences, and the whole endeavor becomes a lifeline of creative joy. Tune in for a unique mix of intimate storytelling, heartfelt laughter, and melodic moments that celebrate the adventures found in ordinary life. Each episode is a reminder that friendship and music can make even the most suburban struggles feel like an expedition worth singing about.
