Becca & Lizzie: a farming podcast with a difference

As part of their work on social media and online to contribute to farmer’s efforts in showcasing British agriculture, A-Plan Rural Insurance have partnered with Becca & Lizzie top support their new podcast. Becca Wilson and Lizzie Mclaughlin set up their podcast a little over two years ago. With Becca a fifth generation Yorkshire farmer and Lizzie a self-confessed townie from Middlesborough, the girls found conversation in their differences.

Wanting to combine their farming and non-farming perspectives, they decided to set up a podcast to ask the questions, so their listeners don’t have to. Becca says, “the strength of the podcast really has been in our differences. Sometimes, consumers have questions about food, farming and the countryside which they worry about asking, but we’re here to help with that!”

Aiming to showcase to the public what really goes into producing our food, the stories behind our farms and the breadth of careers that are available in agriculture, the girls have featured some very recognisable faces. Lizzie says “by speaking with well-known faces, it helps to bridge the gap with the public even more with this sense of familiarity.”

In their latest podcast, Becca & Lizzie spoke with Tom the Young Farmer and chatted about his appearance on Greg James’ Radio 1 Breakfast show, among other topics.
