Episode 5: The Great British Farm Fest — Farming's biggest party is coming in May. We chat festivals, farming and Jeremy Clarkson 14.04.2026 42:15

I'm joined by a brilliant trio to talk about the most exciting thing to hit British farming in years. Chris Hughes is the festival producer behind the Great British Farm Fest — a man who took Jeremy Clarkson around the world with Top Gear Live and now wants to do the same for farming. Bizza Walters is a fourth-generation mixed farmer from Warwickshire and Farm Fest ambassador. And Damian Barson is...

The Energy Special 22.03.2026 43:27

I'll be honest with you — I've had four hours sleep, I'm in the middle of lambing, and I still think this is one of the best conversations I've ever had. Welcome to the Energy Special.

The Butchers 18.01.2026 45:23

Right, so I've got four fantastic butchers on - Sharon Francis from Brecon, Apes (April) Westcott who runs a small deer and sheep butchery in Exmoor (with award-winning venison burgers) and two Robs (one's Frustrated Farmer, one's Roast Mutton from Cumbria) - and we're talking about the stuff everyone's afraid to discuss. First up: halal and kosher slaughter. Our panel of butchers want to see it b...

Should Britain's farmers go on strike? 31.12.2025 16:30

Should Britain's farmers 'Go French' or even go on strike? In some countries farmers are 'treated like Gods' because they put food on the table? What is the situation here? Gareth chats with Kathleen Renner and Ed Beckett of FARMERS TAKE ACTION about the protesting and how farmers need to go to ensure that British people are fed with the nutritious food we have here in our own country. Hosted on A...
