In conversation with Aoife Forde, a farm advisor and cattle farmer from Ireland's famous Burren region. We discuss the reestablishment of an ancient cattle production system called winterage - why it's so unique, how it supports local biodiversity, effective community engagement with the landscape, and the challenges of supporting the wider community in light of concurrent policy pressures.

Cattle on the mountain: rehabilitating an ancient cattle production system

A conversation with Los Angeles-based musician Jason (J.) Adams about his WWI-inspired album "The Tower." We discuss the historical minutia which inspired the album, how it was written, composed and put together, and much more besides. 

Adams' nom de guerre (band name) is Old Grey Horror. "The Tower" can be found via:

Oldgreyhorror.bandcamp.com

Many thanks to Adams for the wonderful conversation, and for allowing his music to be included throughout.
