...with the legendary Chris Packham
Actual Chris Packham! I was overjoyed to get some time to chew the fat with the author, presenter and long time naturalist. It was all to do with his support for the The National Lottery funded Flows to the Future project, and the artwork celebrating Flows to the Future's Milly Revill Hayward.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast for the environment
One of the best podcasts out there for people who care about the planet. Thoroughly recommended! 👍
Turn down the heat
Few minutes into what was going to be an interesting informative podcast and I switched it off because it’s difficult to hear the speaker muffled and distant.
Great podcast
A great listen and very informative. Fantastic host with guests who really know their stuff. A must listen if this is a topic which interests you...and even if it’s not!
