Farming, podcasting and shinty!
Today’s guest is someone I’ve been discussing podcasting with for some time!
Noel Clancy runs the out the gap podcast which is completely filmed in person. Living in Tipperary he found himself wanting to interview some people during lockdown and now finds himself travelling the country to do just that!
He also farms at home beef cattle in a very dairy area as well as keeping the kids at all the sports clubs under the sun!
Great chat with a lovely chap!

Digital communications, Australia and…the land army?
Today’s guest, Emily Ashworth will probably be one of the most heard people in the sector. After some time in Australia where she started a food blog Emily found herself back in the UK!
10 years on and the best part of it with the Farmers Guardian we covered the intimacy of sharing the stories of a sector.
On top of this Emily has a deep interest in World War Two with a particular focus on the Land Army in which she has actually written a book!
Bloody great that about a topic I definitely didn’t expect to talk about!
Enjoy

I met today’s guest over email a couple years ago when she helped make the Adam Henson podcast possible!!

Lleynwicks, getting into farming and raising a wee one on the farm!
Today’s guests embody the reason I started a podcast. What are the potential jobs in this sector and firstly how do you make it into this industry?
The sector is directly barriered to entry and these guys have earned their spot but required a self proclaimed dose of luck!
Ella and Lawrence Martin are in their first tenancy! Ella is a vet nurse that Lawrence has successfully converted to full time farmer…while still operating as a full time vet nurse!
Lawrence with very little ties to the sector knew it was for him since he was a kid, working full time through farm jobs, getting an apprenticeship has led the pair of them to the situation they’re in now!
Sorry for talking about Baby Reindeer so much!
Great couple with great ambitions!
Enjoy!

Veg, tenancies, creating an accepting industry and flooding to the point we need a new name for it!
We welcome Ben Andrews onto the podcast today. Ben tells about 1/3 of his farm being flooded as high as 5 feet in some places for notable periods of the year, the struggles with farm tenancy and the uncertainly that can come with it.
Farming a mixed system of livestock, arable and vegetables in Herefordshire as far as Be. Has been able to date back his family have moved all of one county at max!
Another topic for discussion that really shouldn’t have be as Ben says is the ‘least interesting thing about’ him is the fact he’s gay. Working with many others in the LGBTQIA+ community through Agrespect to create a more accepting industry which is well behind where it should be…as we talk about just look at any Facebook post relating to farming with as much as a couple getting married and see the comments!
A man farming in truly challenging conditions and trying to find solutions!

Three bearded men walk into a podcast and find whole dose of craic!…check the spelling!!
Today we welcome Northern Irish brothers with a whole lot of stories behind them!
One, Glen rapidly finding his way in the world of beef genetics with a focus on the Speckled Park (composite breed of Aberdeen Angus, Shorthorn and British White Park) a mere 4 years after leaving the army.
The other, Chris building up his new whiskey (spelled it that was to keep him happy) brand, Dragon Claw, operating a world famous tattoo studio…oh and he won Northern Ireland’s coolest man beating out Jamie Dornan and others. Clearly a dreamboat!
We talk the obvious, as well as the reality of Afghanistan, addiction in various forms, perfectionism, man flu and how to fold a towel!…I also try a NI accent, I’ll let you decide what you think!
Not to be heard if you dislike a hearty dose of profanity but absolutely to be heard if you just fair enjoy a bit of craic!
