Dig It is a Persephonica production 

Welcome to Dig It! The podcast where Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball lift the curtain on the messy, everyday reality of trying to live well. With over 30 years of friendship, Jo and Zoe invite listeners into their regular catch-ups. From family life and home improvements to health, ageing, and the things that make them laugh until they cry.

Two new episodes drop each week, fully visualised on YouTube, plus bonus content for subscribers.

Jo and Zoe really want to hear from you — your thoughts, your questions, your moans, your wins, your gardening disasters… Voice notes are always preferred, but they’ll take an email or a cheeky text too.

It’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show week! To celebrate, Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball were given exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the world’s most famous flower show before the gates even opened to the public.

In this special episode of Dig It, Jo and Zoe explore Chelsea on build day and chat to two brilliant garden designers - Frances Tophill and Arit Anderson - about the extraordinary gardens they’ve created for this year’s show.

From powerful stories behind the planting to practical inspiration you can take home to your own garden, this is a very special Chelsea edition of Dig It.
