I’m a late comer to these podcasts and I absolutely love them. so well put together. I was gutted when I heard they were finishing but thankfully that was short lived.
The pods are so calming and lovely to listen to. It’s the antithesis of the hyped up, fast, fake energy pods out there.
I really enjoy the history, stories and simply the calming voices in all of these pods.
Thank you and well done.
Some excellent content and interesting guests but I struggle to get beyond the main presenter’s Partridgesque style.
Such a relaxing podcast and a lovely gentle way to get to know the deeper stories of the Lake District thank you Dave and Mark
I think this was one of the best Countrystrides I have listened to. The combination of history, skilled traditional craft, state of the art technology, recycling and wildlife restoration all in a rural location made it truly heartwarming and inspiring.
I’ve been chain listening to this. I love the Lake District, despite being a Lancastrian, and this podcast is a little slice of Cumbria on a dull drive to work! Needs more puns from Mark 😂🙌
