  • Music over talk

    Have recently discovered this very interesting podcast. Am waaay over here in Oz. The only thing that I have difficulty with is that you put music behind a large percentage of the talk. I have a brain condition which makes the task of separating these. Your music between segments is good but sadly I mightn’t be able to continue. I asked my neurosurgeon said my feelings were quite valid Thanks

  • Very interesting

    Usefull and interesting. But please stop the silly music behind the voices like today with Nick. It makes it difficult to follow. Because of that only 4 stars.

  • Wonderful British Gardening Podcast

    I so appreciate the RHS for the extensive information provided about plants that work all over. As a home gardener in Iowa, I am so inspired by the great British gardeners and have learned so much. This is a favorite.

  • Really

    I thought I could come here and listen to gardening advice, which occasionally there is and then it’s enjoyable, but way way too much rhetoric “climate change” alarmism, a shame you choose to destroy an otherwise great idea.
