    Farming with Tom Pemberton

    What happens when a traditional family farm gets passed down to a born YouTuber? Tom Pemberton.   For six generations, the Pemberton family have farmed at Birks Farm in the picturesque town of Lytham, Lancashire. In 2016 Tom (the farmer’s son) uploaded his first video to Youtube about a raw milk dispenser. To his surprise, thousands watched. Now Tom shares warts and all farming stories with fans around the world.    This week Jimmy and Tom shoot the breeze about farming, and the unfair or outdated criticism the industry often receives.   They discuss how helping people understand how their food is made is as important for farmers today as the farming itself.

    Nature's Lessons in Happiness with Charlie Corbett

After the unexpected loss of his mother, Charlie realised he'd become a stranger to the natural world surrounding him.
