- Really enjoy this podcast!
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I’m not a farmer and don’t live in the country, I actually live in one of the biggest cities in America but I’ve found this podcast so enjoyable to learn about rural life in England. I enjoy that they cover new and old topics related to rural life. I can’t wait to visit the MERL in the future!

I studied at MERL back, very much, in “the day”. I haven’t returned since and this podcast has encouraged me to do so. Look forward to hearing what comes next.
