Unsure where to start with this episode description....a winding pathway through the price of a chippy tea, rural internet, broken down cars, Groundswell, social observations, three-legged stools, public service information films and a dabble into politics.

Social media recently flew into outrage at one man's decision - we talk about perceptions of rural life as viewed through the media, should it only show the highlights or is it better to provide a balanced view of life in the countryside?

Callum has also been working with his suspiciously ChatGPT like glamourous assistant to devise a better tree planting scheme which takes into account life after planting and right species in the right place.

This week's question is whether to hire a professional photographer or look into other options.

"Hi both - I run a small rural dog grooming business and have been getting by with phone photos for social media, but they just look a bit flat and inconsistent. I’ve been quoted £400 for a local photographer to do a shoot. That’s a lot of money for me, but could it actually help me bring in more (better) clients, or am I being sold a dream?"

- Jess, Northumberland

As we really enter into show season and stewards across the nation blow the dust and cobwebs from grandads old bowler hat, we delve into the nature of County Shows nowadays and how they have changed. From ugly garden ornaments to expensive paddling pools, they offer a whole host of ways to spend money - even going so far as hiring Spudman to attend! (don't ask me, I'm just the producer)

This week's question is:

"Love the show – it’s the only podcast I can listen to while mucking out! I’ve recently taken over the social media and marketing for our family’s farm diversification business (a mix of glamping and selling beef boxes). I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth getting a proper logo and branding done, or if it’s just a waste of money when we’ve already got a name and some basic Canva graphics. Any thoughts?"— Tom, Carmarthenshire
