13: Cheshire Wild Venison with Steve McGuigan
We visited Steve at Cheshire Wild Venison to talk about venison as a meat, deer management, and how he started in this business in the first place. After showing us around his premises we sat down with Steve in his office and with the occasional accompanying hum of his chiller unit and chewed the fat about current practices surrounding wild meat and getting it into the food chain as well as some of the benefits of eating wild meat, both for human health and to the benefit of local habitats and ecosystems.

11: North Wales Truffle Hunting with Jonathan McGowan
At the end of September we met up with Jonathan McGowan and Tembo to try our luck at Truffle hunting in North Wales. Jonathan is in the truffle hunting business and last year he found the first known wild truffle in North Wales for over 70 years. We spent several hours with Jonathan, following Tembo around a couple of woodlands local to us which have the right sort of habitat for truffles and talking about everything related to truffles, fungi and the legalities of truffle hunting in the wild. We also learn about the iconic lagotto romagnolo dog breed and how he has been trained to sniff out the treasured truffles, the downside of using pigs for hunting truffles, and the cut throat business of truffle hunting in Italy.

10: Wildfowling in Wales with Gethin Jones
We ventured over to the coast of North Wales to meet up with Gethin Jones, a Welshman who has been harvesting wild food from the coast since he was 4 years old. From digging up bait with his uncle, to selling pigeons to the local butcher and perfecting his flying duck impersonations, Gethin has led a life immersed in wild caught protein and we only manage to scratch the surface in this episode. We do eventually get onto the topic of how to start wildfowling and the most important things to consider if you want to get involved - from the importance of identification skills, to knowledge of the waters and safety whilst out on the shore below the high water mark. Gethin regales us with stories from his own and his friend's experiences and shares what he thinks are the best bits about hunting for your own food. If you are interested in wildfowling in the UK, you can find more information on the BASC website which Gethin references - https://basc.org.uk/wildfowling/ (https://basc.org.uk/wildfowling/) Links - Wild Food People on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wildfoodpeople/), Twitter (https://twitter.com/wildfoodpeople), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/wildfoodpeople/) - @wildfoodpeople - Support the Wild Food People podcast on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/wildfoodpeople) - https://www.patreon.com/wildfoodpeople - About Wild Food People (https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/about/) - https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/about/ - Attend a course with Wild Food People (https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/courses/) - https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/courses - Gethin on X / Twitter (https://x.com/GethinJones123) - https://x.com/GethinJones123 - Get in touch with us (https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/contact-us/) - https://wildfoodpeople.co.uk/contact-us/ - Richard on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/richprideaux/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/RichPrideaux) - @richprideaux - Amy on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/agreenoutdoors/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/agreenoutdoors) - @agreenoutdoors

9: Preparing for Autumn Foraging
This episode was recorded at the end of August with autumn just around the corner; Richard and Amy discuss the species highlights to look out for over the next few months. Wild fruits start appearing in summer with strawberries and raspberries being the first obvious candidates, Bilberries follow soon after and then as we edge to the end of summer and into autumn the different fruits available start to overlap. For us autumn means a season of collecting and preserving foraged fruits, from sweet and juicy plums to elusive fungi. Richard runs through his mental calendar of fruit and we discuss the merits of each in turn and the best ways to use them before turning to the wonderful world of mushrooms - the fruiting bodies of fungi.

8: Gender, generations and unfair access to wild food with Whitetail Abigail
We welcomed Abi (aka Whitetail Abigail), creator and host of The Grit (https://www.thegritpodcast.co.uk/) podcast, to our little corner of North Wales. We sourced some wild food, cooked over a fire and recorded this podcast episode. Abi is passionate about hunting and having more control over where her food has come from - and even more passionate about promoting women in wild food and fieldsports, giving a voice to what she sees as under-represented groups in this world. As we sat in the woods (accompanied by the sounds of rural life and Abi's dog wandering around) Richard and Abi discussed some of the lesser-acknowledged social and political aspects of sourcing wild food in the UK. We talk in detail about starting a podcast, generational differences between Boomers, Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z, the surprising statistics of firearm ownership in the UK, Abi's experiences getting started in hunting, the perceptions of hunting as a townie, whether the North American conservation/hunting model could work over here, and the visibility of women in shooting. We had a great time introducing Abi, Vic and Buck to Bilberries and taking Abi out to find some wild protein later on before cooking it all up and getting into some deep conversations.

7: (Not) Live From The Game Fair
We recorded this episode live at the game fair where Richard Prideaux invited the crowds, celebrities and vendors to be our guest for a few minutes. We talked with dozens of people about wild food, the relevance of the Game Fair to conservation and land management and to try and put into words exactly what it is that they love so much about this celebration of the British countryside. The selection of interviews which you will hear includes words from a gamekeeper, cooking teacher, clothing brand, hedge layer, photographer, website designer amongst others, each as passionate as the last. We went expecting a variety of answers, but what we came away with was an unprompted consensus about the importance of wild sourced food and community. We had a fantastic time creating this mammoth episode, it has been an undertaking but hopefully this finished product paints a picture of what the Game Fair is all about. If you would like to find out more about any of the interviewees, we have included links below in the order that they spoke.

6: Wild Food News - Deer culls damaging habitats and crayfish are taken off the menu
Recent research conducted by the University of Edinburgh and Yale University suggests that by taking culled deer carcasses off the landscape we are removing vital nutrients from that ecosystem. The research has been conducted by calculating the average amount of nutrients in a deer carcass and combining that with data on the number of deer culled in Scotland over a 12 year stretch. Richard Prideaux talks through the implications of both leaving or removing deer carcasses from the landscape for local habitats but also the impact that it could have of outdoor access and the ability of landowners to meet cull targets. Deer management in Scotland is hugely important to maintain a balance within delicate ecosystems and is often funded through paid stalks and the sale of the venison as a result of culling, leaving carcasses where they fall could push landowners towards less desirable methods of deer management. It's also difficult to condone leaving healthy and ethical meat in the landscape to rot. The American signal crayfish was deliberately brought over to the UK in the 1970s in order to farm them for food, however they quickly made their way into the wild and have been very successful at spreading around the country's waterways ever since. These voracious predators are a threat to our native white clawed crayfish as well as anything else that they can tackle. Amy Green explains how they also cause riverbank erosion and in some cases have been moved around the country by people who would like a local source of these tasty freshwater crustaceans. Until recently conservation groups and government bodies were encouraging the trapping of signal crayfish for food, as a means of ridding our rivers and ponds of them. However they have recently changed the licencing rules and banned the sale of live signal crayfish, essentially changing the way in which they can be sold as food in the UK and exported overseas.

5: The (actual) Idiots Guide to The Game Fair.
Next weekend (26th -28th July 2024) will see The Game Fair return to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Dubbed 'Glastonbury for the green welly brigade' it is a festival of the British countryside and has been running since 1958. If you want to know more about wild food and increase your access to it then you need to understand the factors that affect the habitat it lives in - conservation, farming, land management, policy, economics. If you did not grow up in that 'world' then it can be difficult to connect with those factors - but, weirdly enough, a visit to a centralised event like The Game Fair is a great way to do it. In this episode Richard Prideaux and Amy Green talk about the Fair itself and why they think it is a useful experience for anyone who wants to eat wild food. They also discuss some of the unfair preconceptions people might have about the attendees of events like this - as well as the completely fair accusations about the quality of fleece waistcoats worn. The episode ends with an interview with James Gower, MD of Stable Events and Event Director of The Game Fair.

4: How to avoid being poisoned - Wild Food Essentials
A short podcast episode about how to not poison yourself through foraging - the link to the video version of this podcast is available below. Being wary of foraging is fairly sensible as there is a real risk of poisoning yourself or others if you don't know what you are eating. Identification guides are brilliant to help you learn how to read the packaging of plants, trees and mushrooms and is the first step to take when moving into identification of species that you don't know. Pairing a solid identification with knowledge from a foraging guide or another reliable source is the next step and will give you more detailed information about the edibility of what you have found. Remember - no taste sensation is worth the risk of death if you aren't really sure!

3: Nature Friendly Farming with Huw Foulkes
Huw Foulkes is a 4th generation dairy farmer in the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales. Since bringing the farm back into their own management, he has been developing the family's acres into a regenerative, organic, nature friendly, calf-at-foot dairy farm for the past 4 years. We are well aware of Huw and his fantastic land stewardship, as he lives only a few miles away and is a source of both milk and beef for our family. It was great to have a proper chat with him about his story so far and how the practices which he and his family employ are helping local wildlife populations to thrive - meaning more wild food opportunities as well as a healthier local environment. Even if farming isn't your 'thing', it is difficult to separate it from wild food. Much of the British landscape is managed for food production in one form or another; and the methods used are having a massive impact on our ecosystems as a whole, whether that's negatively through run-off into rivers or positively through the creation of field margins, hedgerows and healthy soils.
