• 54: One Year of CountrySlide

  We're 1!It's been a fantastic year of recording, editing and reading comments and reviews on the show. We've loved every minute of it and to celebrate we sat down as usual to record and episode, as usual.This week the guys talk about the news that game dealers in Belgium are no longer going to be taking game birds from the UK (aside from honouring existing contracts) This is possibly just the beginning of a prediction coming true that Europe will no longer be taking game from UK suppliers. This calls into question where the future of shooting lies. To put this into perspective, Negus has found an old edition of the Shooting Times complete with game prices from 1972.To round out the episode, there's a quick (ish) fire round of questioning to get to know your hosts just a tad better.CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.Send us photos of your interesting trinkets that your other half wants to burn or bin as submissions to the calendar or for fun at: [email protected] Links- Subscribe on Patreon for extra content (you can cancel at any time)- If you enjoy what we do, consider a one-off tip on Ko-fi- CountrySlide website- Negus' book tour dates can be found hereThe HostsRichard Negus websiteCallum McInerney-Riley websiteRichard Prideaux websiteEdited and Produced by Amy Green for Rural and Outdoor.

• 53: Wild Trout Trust with Shaun Leonard

  Shaun Leonard, director of the Wild Trout Trust talks with the guys about the challenges facing our native trout and what makes them so incredible and able to adapt to conditions worldwide. Our rivers aren't in a great shape, although as Shaun recalls they were once much worse, and it isn't in fact all pollution and run-off. The Wild Trout Trust are involved in improving habitats for wild brown trout (and therefore other fish) around the country through adding in woody debris, removing physical barriers and educating land managers and the general public.The conversation then turns towards how we can help and the huge variety of citizen science projects out there - from counting flies to collecting water samples, there is something for everyone to get involved with. We've provided links to some of those below.CountrySlide is a podcast that looks at farming, conservation and life in the British countryside.Send us photos of your interesting trinkets that your other half wants to burn or bin as submissions to the calendar or for fun at: [email protected] Links- Wild Trout Trust- Angling Trust Water Quality project- Outfall Safari information- Wild Fish SmartRivers- Subscribe on Patreon for extra content (you can cancel at any time)- If you enjoy what we do, consider a one-off tip on Ko-fi- CountrySlide website- Negus' book tour dates can be found hereThe HostsRichard Negus websiteCallum McInerney-Riley websiteRichard Prideaux websiteEdited and Produced by Amy Green for Rural and Outdoor.

• 52: Mental Health with Mark

  This week, Richard and Richard are joined by Mark, former Army Chaplain, Church of England minister and farmer, for a thoughtful conversation about faith, farming, and mental health in rural Britain. From Normandy beaches to North Oxfordshire fields, they explore the links between the military and the land, the quiet role of the rural church, and why resilience matters more than resistance. With humour, honesty, and a touch of birdsong for Armistice, CountrySlide welcomes its newest recruit: the Padre of the Countryside.As we head into winter life can get more isolating, depression can set in and the unpredictability of life can become harder to face. Please check in with those around you and seek help if you need it.As we head into winter life can get more isolating, depression can set in and the unpredictability of life can become harder to face.
