  • I should have listened to my husband (for once!)

    I resisted for weeks after enduring my husband talking about it ad nauseam! I eventually plunged in when trapped in a car with him for hours. And can now be found catching up whilst making wild garlic - home butchered wild Dartmoor venison burgers amongst other such homely country pursuits!

    I wish I had ‘t held out for so long. Keep it up! Its now my weekly treat!

  • A proper podcast.

    Funny, entertaining and informative.

    The antidote to the virtue signalling, lecture-style crud pumped out by the fluffy brigade.

    Keep it up chaps👍🏻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

42: Game and Wildlife Conservation with Nick Von Westenholz
Q: So, in your, how many months into the post
About four and a half months in, and the biggest takeaway is that there's been a learning curve rather than a dramatic surprise; the role has begun to reveal how deeply people care about the GWCT and its viability.
The Mullet : How to grow when the algorithm is against you
Q: Should Alan keep his existing knife-focused profile or start a new one or both?
The hosts propose a hybrid approach: maintain the current account while also running a backup account, then test different content formats to see what the platforms will allow and what engages audiences.
50: Frostbitten with Nigel Vardy
Q: When did your eyes start going towards the summits, as it were?
He explains starting with traditional countryside activities in Derbyshire and gradually moving into winter mountaineering after being introduced to Scottish ascents and winter routes.
50: Frostbitten with Nigel Vardy
Q: So would you say that, I mean, did you grow up in a town?
Nigel describes growing up on the edge of a Derbyshire town with a strong farming backdrop, which fostered his outdoor connection and led to a lifelong involvement in field sports and hill walking.
64: Big Farmland Bird Count and Operation Turtle Dove with Mark Nowers
Q: What practical habitat measures work best for turtle doves on working farms?
A combination of cultivated margins, enhanced overwinter stubbles, two-year seed mixes, trackside pollen and nectar, and nesting habitat with thick hedgerows, tailored to each farm's operations.
