‘Inside the Pod’: PGRO launches podcast for pea and bean growers
5th September 2023
The Processors and Growers Research Organisation (PGRO) has launched a new podcast targeted at the UK’s pea and bean sector.
Inside the Pod will cover all topics related to the growing of pulse crops, featuring PGRO staff as well as guests from across the industry.
The podcast is PGRO’s latest endeavour in supporting growers of pulses and vegetable legumes. It signals PGRO’s first foray into the podcast communications channel.
In PGRO’s own words
“We carry out a huge amount of important research, but it means nothing if it doesn’t reach those who can use the information,” says PGRO CEO Roger Vickers.
“We need to use a variety of channels to put across our messages. Having a podcast allows for farmers to digest new information from our work while they go about their day.”
The first episode, which is now live, covers PGRO’s vining pea open day that was held in Lincolnshire in late June. The episode features Senior Technical Officer Dr Chris Judge speaking about the Descriptive List trials.
How can you listen to Inside the Pod?
Inside the Pod is available on all major podcast services, including Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts.
