United Kingdoma year ago - So happy to find James Wong again !
I watched James on tv and remember thinking how great he was. I honestly think that James Doherty, who appeared on tv around the same time, who now does a cooking show with Jamie Oliver, copied James Wong’s presenting style… quite weird. I went off Doherty at this point. Since I thought James Wong was way more talented and interesting. I was disappointed when he wasn’t on our screens any more? And Doherty still is. So happy to find this podcast !!! Thank you James! Think you’re great! I know you... more
Apple Podcasts5LausDonUnited Kingdom4 years ago - Great
Great episodes & good to hear Kew are interested in cultural diversity & improving access to people of colour with the March 2021 episode.
It does concern me that there is a lot of research focussed on deforestation in places like Madagascar, Brazil & Borneo but no focus on the uk’s horrendous forestry practices.... Can Kew look at the state of the British landscape? The loss of biodiversity & ancient woodlands in the uk? HS2’s criminal impact on the land? That would be very engaging & I would ... more
Apple Podcasts4Vikki29United Kingdom5 years ago - Fascinating listen
Just listened to the latest episode, “Dirt On Our Hands”. Absolutely brilliant - well-conceived, informative, inspirational and thought-provoking. Really interesting on the differences between botany and horticulture, and the ways in which we’re all implicated to a greater or lesser extent. Plants are never just plants, and this series grapples with that in a mature and enlightened way.

I wanted to hear about plants. Not diversity. Do that quietly. Tell us about the plants. Wrong call Kew
