Mark Hodson - Talking Game Magazine
I thought the best way to introduce this was using the 'About Us info on the Talking Game website (https://talkinggame.co.uk):Game shooting is part of our national heritage. Talking Game is dedicated to playing its part in ensuring that it not only survives, but thrives. We firmly believe that all shot game should always be eaten and we hope that our pages actively encourage this objective, and that they reflect the many qualities and experiences associated with country pursuits. Above all, we celebrate those who support our aims.During the podcast we discuss the disconnected theme that appears prevalent in the UK and make comparisons to Europe where wild game is still in strong demand.

We are joined by Charles Smith-Jones, an all round countryside man who specialised in wildlife management after completing a full military career in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Charles is the author of four countryside pursuit books which I recommend to all our listeners. They are packed with useful information and accompanied by a large library of photographs. Well worth having one, or more, on your coffee table! -

A Yorkshireman who fell in love with deer whilst working on the Isle of Jura, Nigel is playing a key role in the countryside pursuit arena by bringing game meats to the general public. His passion for farming and game has enabled him to create a professional nationwide distribution network of game meats into retailers, the public, supermarkets and hospitality sectors alike. We need more people like Nigel to champion the sustainability of British game.
