  • Really informative

    I’m not a farmer but I am surrounded by arable farmland, this podcast shines a light on what’s going on around me at different times of the year. It also unpacks the big issues that the farming community are tackling that I would otherwise not know about. I find it very informative and I enjoy the delivery of the presenters, thank you!

  • Well Produced, Up to date and Honest

    Amongst podcasts covering economics and travel the FW Podcast is a weekly priority listen for me.

    Whilst I’m not a day to day farmer I still find the features informative, entertaining and genuinely useful.

    The current presenter lineup is the best yet.
