  • Lack of Northern Irish content

    Good podcasts with thoughtful discussion but the lack of Northern Irish content is extremely frustrating and quite honestly disrespectful to your listeners north of the border.

  • Could be better

    The sound quality is often poor. Content is good and balanced but overall feels dated.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Farm Tech Talk - EU Brazilian beef ban, milk prices and weanling trade
Q: What happens to Brazilian beef once the EU ban is enforced, and could the UK market absorb the extra volume?
The consensus is that the extra Brazilian beef needs to find new destinations, with potential risk to the UK market if demand shifts or standards alignment lags, while Ireland and the EU look to maintain a level playing field for local producers.
Down to Agribusiness: Tirlán fallout, protein boom and carbon blockchain
Q: First of all, tell me a little bit about yourself. Where do you come from and what's your background?
Michael English describes a path from farming connections through a tech career in e-commerce and loyalty programs, culminating in co-founding IMPT to apply blockchain to carbon offsetting and sustainable travel.
Farm Tech Talk - Generational renewal, livestock trade and grassland management
Q: What is the main barrier to younger farmers taking over land and what could be done to fix it?
Barriers include financing, pension-like gaps when stepping back, and a lack of structured pathways; solutions discussed include enhanced retirement schemes with transitional roles, stronger apprenticeship programs, and clearer equity transfer mechanisms to keep knowledge on farm.
This is Country Living - A remarkable organ donation story
Q: What did life look like before you got sick?

Young Stock Podcast - Mixed cattle and sheep farming in Leitrim
Q: How do you manage the sheep and cattle on the home farm in North Leitrim to cope with weather and grass growth during the year?
Dylan explains splitting sheep into smaller groups for lambing to spread labor and grass demand, using a Texel ram for early lambing, and balancing cattle with AI across the year; he emphasizes planning and flexibility to adapt to wet or dry spells and CAP changes.
