Sow,Grow, Repeat with Jane Perrone and Alys Fowler

One of the early adopters of the format and many of us cut our little poddy teeth on this podcast. An old favourite that is sadly no longer recorded but Alys and Jane make a fantastic duo with rare chemistry, knowledge, and enthusiasm for their wide ranging subjects. In no way dated and still highly recommended.

The podcast we all wish we'd made; that's how I describe Andrews O'Briens  beautiful  podcast.
