Unbelievably another month has passed so Nick and Jim look at stories that made the news this month, ranging from dead badgers hanging on Chris Packham's gate to stroppy students not understanding democracy!

John Davidson, The Mad Giraffe Atlantic Rower
This week we chat with John Davidson. After a full career in the Army, serving in the elite SAS, and a second career in the global security industry, this man is always ready for a new challenge. So much so that he has only just returned from a successful solo crossing of the Atlantic in a small rowing boat - The Mad Giraffe. He didn't do this just for the adventure though, his aim was to raise money for a Motor Neurone Disease charity - My Name5 Doddie Foundation. Please help him achieve his goal and donate on his charity page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/madgiraffeatlanticrow -

Gloria Hook, a newbie bee keeper making a buzz
This week we stay at home to maintain social distancing and Jim chats with his long-suffering wife Gloria. Glo, as she is affectionately known, is a newbie bee keeper. Although she’s had hives for a few years she only took up the actual bee keeping herself a couple of years ago. This podcast should hopefully quell the fears of anyone else who has thought about getting into bee keeping but always thought it would be too difficult.
