This time, I get to speak to third-generation dairy farmer, Glenn Lloyd, at his family farm in Montgomery. As well as running Daisy Bank Dairy, he also owns Trefaldwyn Cheese (a very delicious cheese if you've not had a chance to try it!).

The audio for this episode comes from an iphone that was sat between us, as the original audio file was lost on a corrupted hard drive. Some interference may be noticable.

For this one, I got to sit down with Shaun Krijnen on the beach in Brynsiencyn, just up from the mussel and oyster beds.

We talked about how Shaun got into the industry, and the many many difficulties he's faced running a shellfish farming business for over three decades - not limited to, but including, climate change, cost of living crisis, financial crashes, and general attitude towards shellfish farming.

I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do, too!

This time, I sit down with Jane Evans at her art studio in Menai Bridge.  As we look over the Menai straits, we talk about how Jane's art practice has developed over the years since gaining her degree in her 40s. Now, as a Gyotaku practitioner, she explores her connection to place through her printing of aquatic life in the straits, and found objects.

This time i get to speak to Joe, who runs Slate Coffee Education down in Dinas Mawddwy.

Joe has travelled the world over competing in latte art competitions, and soaking up everything he can about the coffee industry. After traveling from Canada, to Australia, and back to the UK, he eventually turned to wholesaling and education within Clifton Coffee (after training to teach in Vienna).

Now, he runs Slate Coffee Education in North Wales.

A really knowledgable and kind person, I really enjoyed this one.

I got to sit down with Andrianos to talk about how he found his way from Athens to one of London’s most exciting kitchens, and what that shaped him along the way.

Recorded in my mum's back garden in North Wales, birds and all!

This time, on a drizzly Sunday afternoon in February, I got to sit down with Huw Foulkes from Pentrefelin Dairy - a special farm just outside of Denbigh, in Llandyrnog.

As well as all the brilliant work he's done over the past six or seven years, Huw also helped launch fully funded courses for 18 to 25-year-olds, covering everything from hedge laying to practical farming skills, through a social enterprise called Landlinked.
