Podcast Hypothesis

What is Country life? It seems that only the people within the close nit communities know. Like everything, country life has a particular stigma surrounding it, isolation, tweed jackets and blood sports. This is what I want to subvert. I want to make the unknown, known. Invite my listeners to understand more about what happens in the countryside. To give an insight into a live that is opposite to their own, but to which they can relate.

Topics that I would like to cover

-       What growing up in the country is like and the community that comes with it.
-       The role of women within the farming community and how it has changed over time?
-       What affect the Ban has had on country life, if any?
-       An outline about ‘The Hunt’ as a community and its role in country life.


Outline Questions
-       Please could you briefly outline your background in relation to hunting and the countryside community? i.e. Childhood, previous jobs/positions
-       How long have you been hunting for?
-       What is your current role within the community (if not already covered)?
-       Can you describe the relation between the Hunt with the Farming community, how they are connected and support one another?
-       To what is seen as a patriarchal society, how has women’s roles changed within it and would you say that women now have an equal role to men?

Outcome

The interview with Andrew went really well, I gained a lot of material that will very useful for my podcast, especially the insight he gave me about the role of women in the farming society. His outlook was on the situation was diplomatic but he also gave his own opinion on the subject as well as the NFU’s opinion. Technically the recording went perfectly.
