Pod Trawlers Episode 15 - Natalie Haynes, the Classics, the Amazons, Joel Salatin, the future of farming, George the Poet, the Wind of Change, and so much MORE

Hello, welcome to the first week of the not-really-a-lockdown anymore:

This week Veronika's 1st choice is:

Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b077x8pc

This is a BBC podcast written and presented by Natalie Haynes, who "takes a fresh look at the ancient world, creating stand-up routines about figures from ancient Greece and Rome." 

Series 6 (the current series) features Classical mythical women.

Moving on, Vic’s 1st Choice is:

Joe Rogan with Joel Salatin

Joel Salatin is an American farmer, lecturer, and author whose books include Folks, This Ain’t Normal, You Can Farm and Salad Bar Beef. His latest book, co-authored with Dr. Sina McCullough, Beyond Labels: A Doctor and a Farmer Conquer Food Confusion One Bite at a Time is available for preorder now.

Then Veronika's 2nd Choice is:

Wind of Change - a Crooker Media production

This is the premise of this story/podcast:

"It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is one of the best selling songs of all time, the metal ballad “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions. Decades later, New Yorker journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. Wind of Change is his journey to find the truth."

And last, but definitely not least, Vic's 2nd choice is:

Adam Buxton with George the Poet

https://adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/ep125-george-poet-london-podcast-festival-2019

Adam talks with British poet, rapper and podcaster George Mpanga, aka George The Poet. This was recorded in front of a live audience at The London Podcast Festival in September 2019. And then edited by Adam Buxton and his production team.


And that's it! At the risk of overusing our favourite adjective (too late?) we think that all of the above are BRILLIANT.
