Tom Joule - Joules 02/13/2019

Tom Joule - Joules In a rare in-depth interview, Joules founder Tom Joule shares the story of his glorified market stall that grew into an icon of rural life and a darling of the City. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/8599520

William Kendall 05/15/2018

William Kendall Of all the things to be known for, building famous companies and exiting them with piles of cash, repeatedly, would be close to the top of most people’s list. William Kendall has had the kind of career that if proposed in a movie script might be poo-pooed by the studio as being ‘too farfetched’. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6590806

Dawn Chorus 05/02/2018

Dawn Chorus Armed with nothing but a flask of tea, a homemade cinnamon muffin and my trusty digital recorder, I made for the Bluebell Woods. I had hoped to experience a British dawn chorus at its best and I wasn't disappointed. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6543430

The Vet 04/16/2018

The Vet Tom Hume recognised a desire in himself to be intimately connected with nature and to understand how it functions. He then had the foresight to nurture that desire, channeling it towards his ultimate goal of becoming a large animal vet. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6485237

Billy Ivory - Screenwriter 04/02/2018

Billy Ivory - Screenwriter He’s worked with Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, Pete Postlethwaite and Helena Bonham Carter and continues to write on (and be terribly secretive about) upcoming projects for the BBC and Channel 4. Billy Ivory went from bin man to Baftas and, of course, has a tram named after him in Nottingham. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6433754

Rural Artists 03/19/2018

Rural Artists Two artists absolutely entwined with nature. I met Deborah Bird and Beth Johnson to talk about how they find their flow, who their work is for and what the point of it all is. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6381411

NFU Vice President - Stuart Roberts 03/05/2018

NFU Vice President - Stuart Roberts Newly elected Vice President of the National Farmers Union, Stuart Roberts, forms one leg of a most newsworthy tripod as the right hand man to the NFU's first female President. Stuart is a henchman that one can easily imagine sitting at the helm one day. A bewellington'd Jose Mourinho to Minette Batters' Bobby Robson, if you like. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6326576

Villagers 02/19/2018

Villagers What does a professional gambler from a big city who thinks farmers are miserable old gits have in common with a retired rural councillor who grew up mucking in on his family farm? Answer - They now live but a few doors apart in a quiet Leicestershire village. Meet Jeff and Bob. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6275494

Peverel Manners - Belvoir Fruit Farms 02/05/2018

Peverel Manners - Belvoir Fruit Farms The recipe for their famous elderflower cordial hasn't changed in 30 years. Plenty of other things have. I went to meet Peverel Manners, son of co-founders Lord John and Lady Mary and the man at the helm of one of the most respected drinks brands in the country, Belvoir Fruit Farms. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6223425

The Gay Nightshift Lamber 01/21/2018

The Gay Nightshift Lamber Sheep midwifery is no walk in the park and the nightshift is particularly tough. The only guarantees are birth, afterbirth, death and solitude. Throw zero job security and spartan accommodation into the mix and job candidates become fairly thin on the ground. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6171583

William Chase - Farmer and Entrepreneur 01/08/2018

William Chase - Farmer and Entrepreneur Will went from a bust, embarrassed and ashamed 32 year old potato farmer to a rural entrepreneur who sold his world famous Tyrells Crisps brand for over £100m. But thats only a fraction of his story. We talk about family, trends, health, depression, the difficult second album, money, millennials, happiness, vinegar and a whole load more. /episode/index/show/thisrurallife/id/6126306
