The Wiggly Podcast is our weekly dose of Wiggly Life, it’s like The Archers, but real!
Fantastic, if there is one Podcast you have to listen to, it's this. Totally addictive. The Wiggly Podcast is very informative but also hilariously funny.

Wiggly Podcast 0231A Job for the Stocky Man Length: 23 mins 27 secs | First netcast on Aug 30 2010
Richard takes the helm, and gets his octogenarian Uncle Jim to demonstrate the ways of the scythe. But beforehand there's a tour around the vegetable patch in Summer, taking in the hens' favourite courgettes, the butterflies' favourite cabbages and the fiddly fennel.
Farmer Phil reports on the problems of a(nother) wet harvest and the various mould diseases to which grains are susceptible, and the show is wrapped up with a moonlit stroll to ensure Mr Fox is kept at bay.
Wiggly Podcast 0230Recovering Neglected Woodlands Length: 24 mins 28 secs | First netcast on Jul 12 2010
This is the last Wiggly Podcast before the summer break so the Team bow out with a special.
Join the members of the Herefordshire Walking Festival as forester Graham Taylor explains how the farm's woodlands are being regenerated in an attempt to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their wildlife amenity.
The Wiggly Podcast will return on August 30th.
Wiggly Podcast 0229Bad news comes in threes Length: 26 mins 37 secs | First netcast on Jul 05 2010
An American reviewer thinks the Podcast is not serious enough, so Heather decides outlaw laughter form the Wiggly Sofa (needles to say, that doesn't last long).
David, the London Cabbie posts an iTunes review which cheers up Farmer Phil, who needs cheering up after a particularly bad week on the farm.
Then, to round off the show, Phil and Heather receive an important American guest who tells us just where those 'Nuts, Whole Hazel Nuts' that got covered in chocolate actually come from!
Wiggly Podcast 0228Christine, Queen of Shops Length: 28 mins 49 secs | First netcast on Jun 28 2010
Heather takes the Wiggly Vittese over the hill to Peterchurch to see Christine Hope's new shop. The talk turns to the future of hill farming and Heather learns a few of the tricks of the trade. But first there are lots of new reviews for the show. Unfortunately, one awards only four stars, and it's Monty who's in the firing line!
Hear more from Christine in Episode 144.
Wiggly Podcast 0227Gorringe the Garden (Part 2) Length: 23 mins 38 secs | First netcast on Jun 21 2010
Heather and Richard continue their tour around the Wiggly Garden in Spring answering such questions as how much beef is a chicken worth? Which wildflower can demolish an old brick wall? How many entrances should a sparrow terrace have? And what has been tied up with Farmer Phil's old knickers?
Wiggly Podcast 0226Gorringe the Garden (Part 1) Length: 27 mins 51 secs | First netcast on Jun 14 2010
Heather and Richard stroll around the Wiggly Garden at Lower Blakemere Farm. This year Heather is in sole charge of the gardening, so she takes the opportunity of picking Richard's brain on topics as diverse as discouraging an over productive peach tree; mulching with Strulch; protecting sage plants from the understandably anxious chickens; the readiness (or not) of the gooseberry crop; the wonders of the wildflower meadow; and clearing the willows from around the pond. There's also time to introduce a new bantam into the chicken house and wield the scissors for a spot of wing clipping. In fact there's so much to see and do that the show becomes a two-parter.
Wiggly Podcast 0224Leucanthemum vulgare Length: 22 mins 26 secs | First netcast on May 31 2010
It's a slightly shorter than average show as certain recordings have fallen foul of a spot of dying technology syndrome, but there's still plenty to tune in for as Fred and his harem take to the fields; Heather and Monty take to a mud bath; Oxeye Daisies take to the roadside; and some sheep take to their fenceposts. And, face it, where else could you learn how long a bee's tongue is?
