I was over the moon when King Arthur Uther Pendragon agreed to a podcast with Nature Talks With Humans. There was so much I wanted to know about the druid ideology and connection with nature as well as what King Arthur personally did for access to Stonehenge - I won't spoil the content but I think it's fair to say King Arthur has legend status in more than one sense of the word. Being a very senior druid, King Arthur's explanation of the druid and nature connection is brilliant. This content is superb but that's not all - King Arthur has a mischievous sense of humour and his lovely personality shines through. Enjoy this wonderful chat! FYI this was two days after my gorgeous puppy Topaz arrived and he slept throughout between King Arthur and me - we had to record outside the kitchen door in case he woke up - thank you King Arthur!

I was deeply moved by Rev Jane Sheppard's incredible exhibition at Salisbury Museum. It is absolutely wonderful and on until 30 September, I urge you to see it if you can. Having seen Jane's work in the flesh I couldn't wait to chat with her about her relationship with nature, land and clay. Jane is extraordinarily eloquent and informed about her connection to her work and the natural world. I think this is a mighty and very fine podcast, a rare delve into inner connection with the natural world. I am extremely grateful to Jane for this podcast. Thank you! It's the kind of podcast you want to listen to twice. I have kept the editing light because I think it's interesting and good to hear the evolution of Jane's thinking.

I came across Benedict Tomlinson in the grounds of Pythouse near Tisbury in Wiltshire and was delighted when he agreed to record a podcast with Nature Talks With Humans. As well as being a gardener, Benedict works in the art world and is himself an artist. It was immediately apparent he has a deep affinity with the natural world. This comes out in his podcast in unexpected ways; Benedict goes back to his childhood and draws on his artistic expertise in his relationship with nature. This is a fabulous and fascinating podcast. It's not every day you get to talk to someone with such multiplicity of talent Benedict inspired me profoundly.
