  • Nina

    I belong to the club that Nina Campbell refers to at the end of the August 15 and I have never heard so much rot in all my life. I don’t imagine anyone in Australia would employ her after hearing what she said (talk about biting the hand that feeds it) but the irony of that pretentious old trout calling its members ‘like something from the 1950s’ in entirely fictitious ‘hats and gloves’ was absurd.

  • Disappointing

    Listened to one podcast and the microphone was terrible. Also didn’t really discuss interiors only the personal life of the personal interviewed. Didn’t have any take aways which was a shame.

  • Love it

    I love Carol’s interviews, she is very natural with her well choosen guests. Always relevant and interesting. Also, I’m so pleased the audio quality is much better now, not sure what you’ve done, but I’m grateful, there were a few episodes which were really uncomfortable to listen to.

  • Enjoyable, but ..,

    Really enjoyable. Carole is a great interviewer and the guests are some of the best. However the audio quality is very poor. Can this be fixed?

How Ewan Frost-Pennington Is Turning His 800-Year-Old Home Into A Carbon Neutral Property
Q: Can you explain the role of grants in enabling this transition?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provided an upfront grant (7.5k pounds) that reduces upfront cost and makes installing a heat pump financially comparable to replacing a gas boiler, which helped secure buy-in from the estate's leadership.

Q: What motivated you to return home and pursue sustainability for the castle?
