Golden Grenades is a weekly podcast about birds and those who worship them, all set against the heart-warming, upbeat backdrop of the end of the world. Each week, YOLOBirder chats to a special guest about their five favourite birds, one of which must enter a best bird duel against the mighty peregrine falcon! Twitter: @YOLOBirder. Artwork, music, bells and whistles by Will Rose.

Loved the gentle geordie voice of the host and range of interviewees. The birdsong is a great addition too!
A very entertaining yet comfortable podcast. More of the same please
A breath of fresh air for a wildlife podcast, love it 👌🏻
I really enjoyed this through the lock downs, and beyond.
An entertaining format and great guests, well worth a listen
I love the stories - some thought provoking and some bringing back personal memories. I love the format - almost like having a couple of mates around for a coffee and a chat.
I’m sure that you’ll enjoy them too.
Sort of Desert Island Discs for birds, with plenty of bird facts and stories *and* it's not just men! (which it so often is in bird world). Funny, interesting, and can't wait for series 2.
Very enjoyable & interesting.
A lovely gentle podcast full of passion and enthusiasm for the bird world.
Everyone with an interest in birds will enjoy this podcast. Excellent guests, charming host, simple idea. One of the best birding podcasts.
Kit is a fantastic host and has attracted some excellent guests with a passion for birds. It’s a light-hearted discussion about the guests favourite birds, with no shortage of interesting bird anecdotes and facts. I recommend this for any nature lover.
