  • The Final Pod: Lessons learnt, highlights & giving thanks!
    Feb 10 2023

    The Father Nature team have decided it's the right time for a pause in proceedings. It's been an incredible journey over the past 18 months and we're so very grateful to you all for listening. We're not crying, you are!


    In this episode we celebrate everything Father Nature! We pick out the biggest lessons we've learnt, our personal highlights from the pod and how this project has changed our lives.

  • The Festive Finale
    Dec 14 2022
    Happy festive season one and all - fittingly our final episode of the year saw us podding in a Winter Wonderland! This episode is a cracker:

    We make a last desperate attempt of 2022 to finally get some sense out of Father, as he tells us some of the things the natural world has to offer over the festive period. We'll be listening out for geese, eating seasonal veg and trying to spot the plant that has a long association with fertility! 

    We also go back through our famous Winter Blues mnemonic from last year so we can equip ourselves with some tools to help beat off the blues. (Remember to go back to last year's mini-series on the Winter Blues for loads more on this.)

    Plus - Rob tells us how he's got on with the New Year's Resolutions we set on our first episode of the year. We'd love to know how many you managed to tick off as well!

    And Father Nature turns Father Christmas, as he talks us through the ultimate Christmas wishlist for nature lovers!

  • October: Fungi, yellow snow & the origin of Halloween
    Oct 14 2022
    October sees Father get another year older and another year... wiser? Potentially. More eccentric? Certainly. And he proves that by offering up a very eclectic range of topics in this episode including fungi, roadkill and two types of thrush!

    At one point he even finds himself talking about the people who are dispelling the myth of not eating yellow snow - and you thought it was too early to be feeling festive!!

    Speaking of festivities, Father introduces us to the ancient 'Samhain' celebration and its links to Halloween. Spoiler alert - he's not a big fan of trick or treat. Plenty of treats in this episode though!

    A note of caution - please take extreme care over some of the topics mentioned, particularly fungi and roadkill, where it is imperative that you consult experts before even thinking about putting it in your body!  Disclaimer: we are not liable for any illness or injury. As Father says, don't munch on a hunch!
