The future of our planet is top of mind for many of us right now. In this week’s edition of The Idea presenter Catrin Nye puts back some joy into the conversation with three speakers who want to share pleasure with us, as well as concern. One of them has spent a year on a Welsh farm, observing just how entwined farmers are with their land; and another has written a book called The Joyful Environmentalist giving us ideas for how we can do our bit happily, not just out of duty. And an outdoor leader says a walk on the wild side, in the dark, does wonders for the soul. That’s all in Lovely Planet.

The Idea brings us some of the best talks with a Welsh connection, and interviews with the speakers in-depth about their big idea. It’s food for the mind and inspiration for the soul.

The Idea is a Bengo Media production for BBC Radio Wales Show less
