42. Ultra Processed Food, Feminism and Who Really Does the Cooking?
About this podcast
Unfiltered. Unexpected. Unapologetically Honest.
Welcome to The Wilson & Ashley Podcast — where no farming topic is off limits. But this isn't just a farming podcast...
Broadcast from their unique mobile studio, Rebecca Wilson, a sheep and arable farmer from Yorkshire and Charlotte Ashley, a dairy farmer from Cumbria, bring you conversations around food, farming and rural life that are guaranteed to get heads turning.
Inspired by what’s trending — from recent articles to viral videos — each episode blends reality, farming, and pop culture in equal measure.
With the straight talking approach that followers have come to know and love from these two women in agriculture, conversations are honest, hilarious and real - like voice notes between two friends who aren't afraid to say what everyone else is thinking.
Drawing on their own farming knowledge along with voice notes from friends, listeners of the podcast and industry experts, they're bringing a new perspective on rural life.
Whether you're a full time farmer, never set foot on a farm or fall somewhere in between, we're pleased to have you on board!
