🍾 Join Imogen Bhogal and Abbie Dewhurst for a very special, somewhat unhinged, slightly tipsy episode of Green Queens, recorded from a vineyard bed in West Sussex! We’re sipping English sparkling wine at the stunning Tinwood Estate, reflecting on freelance life, social media burnout, and planning a slow travel adventure to a low-carbon destination wedding in Portugal 🚆💍

They chat everything from women in wine and Veuve Clicquot facts, to the hidden mental load of content creation, the joys and challenges of going freelance, and how to actually do sustainable travel without losing your mind. From VW ID. Buzz, interior design hacks, emotional sustainability, and a few chaotic tangents into football, weddings, and satiny skirt mishaps - enjoy this slightly wonky episode!

In this episode of Green Queens, Imogen Bhogal and Abbie Dewhurst sit down with Estate Owner Jody Tukker to explore how climate change is reshaping the future of wine — right here in the UK. They visit the stunning Tinwood Estate in West Sussex, a vineyard that's riding the highs and lows of England's fast-growing sparkling wine industry.

Warmer temperatures are opening new doors for British winemakers, giving rise to award-winning vintages and a serious reputation for fizz. But with these opportunities come major challenges — unpredictable weather, extreme frosts, and the tough reality of farming in a changing climate.

Grab a glass, and join this sparkling conversation on sustainability, wine, and what the future holds for the industry.

In this episode of Green Queens, Imogen and Abbie are recording live  @EverythingElectricShow  with the unstoppable Judith Leary-Joyce — author, eco-renovator, and Instagram sensation better known as InstaGran. After retrofitting her leaky Victorian terrace into a super-efficient, low-energy home, Judith accidentally went viral with a video about... emptying the dishwasher.

With over 85,000 followers, Judith is proof that sustainability doesn't have to be preachy or perfect. From cantilever stairs to insulation upgrades, she walks us through what it really takes to future-proof old UK homes — and why it matters so much, especially for the older generations who often own their homes outright. Whether older homeowners have a role to play in making housing fairer and greener

Plus, Judith shares her favourite sustainable lifestyle swaps, top tips, and the best advice for people starting out on their retrofit journeys. Enjoy!  @ecorenovationhome

🚀 Is launching celebrities into space really a good idea?

Is launching celebrities into space *really* a good idea? Was Katy Perry's 11-minute space-related adventure worth the environmental impact?! Is space tourism *ever* a worthwhile venture, or just a handy way for billionaires to lower their own space travel costs? Imogen and Abbie unpack it all in front of a live audience, diving into the complexities of space tourism versus space exploration. They weigh up the potential benefits against the very real environmental costs, pressing ethical concerns and opportunity cost. Plus, they address some interesting backlash from Episode 10 and finish on a heartwarming high with the incredible story of beavers taking environmental action into their own paws (literally!), reshaping ecosystems for the better and saving millions of euros in the process. Enjoy!

In this episode of Green Queens, Imogen Bhogal and Abbie Dewhurst head to one of London’s most exclusive postcodes — New Bond Street — to meet Jamie Patel, founder of The Diamond Lab. Together, they explore the glittering world of lab-grown diamonds and ask the big questions:

How do they really compare to mined diamonds? Are they more affordable? More sustainable? And what’s the catch (if there is one)?

Jamie shares her journey as a disruptor in a legacy industry, breaking down misconceptions, shifting cultural expectations, and redefining what luxury looks like in a climate-conscious world.

If you’ve ever been curious about conflict-free sparkle — or just love a good behind-the-scenes business story — this one’s for you!

P.S. We mention a few times that a man may be in search of a ring to propose to his partner - and whilst this was talking in general terms, we absolutely recognise that anyone can propose to anyone. If you found our language clumsy, please tell us where we could improve.

P.P.S We're devastated to tell you that we did not walk away with a party bag... but we did have a proper good gossip with some champagne when the cameras stopped rolling daaarllling!

From Barbie Jeeps to battery chemistry, Imogen and Abbie dive into the surprisingly spicy world of EVs in this week’s episode of Green Queens. They explore why electric cars seem to trigger such strong opinions — from legitimate concerns to full-on misinformation meltdowns.

Expect myth-busting, money talk (yes, EVs really are cheaper over their lifetime), and a reality check on batteries, emissions, and the actual driving experience. Whether you’re EV-curious or already converted, this is an honest and open take on the future of transport.

🚗⚡️

Note: This episode was recorded before the announcement of Trump’s new tariffs on the auto sector and the UK government’s latest update on the ZEV mandate — two stories we’ll be watching closely over the coming months.
