This week we're off to the Roman town of Silchester deep in the Hampshire countryside. Plodcast host Fergus meets legendary broadcaster Matthew Bannister to talk about folk music and the British landscape and his own podcast: Folk on Foot.

Plus, Matthew reflects on his astonishing career with the BBC – and has advice for the corporation and its future.

If you've enjoyed the plodcast, don't forget to leave likes and positive reviews.

If your letter, email or message is read out on the show, you could WIN a Plodcast Postbag prize of a wildlife- or countryside-themed book chosen by the team.
