Ben puts his foot in it and Jennifer offers some pearls of wisdom

Ruth asks Ben to mention their barn venue in his interview with Susan. She thinks he’s due to talk about life as a student during coronavirus. In a pre-interview chat with Susan, Ben persuades her to first ask him about student life. During the interview Ben mentions the coins found at the dig and name drops Evie a number of times. Ben cringes when Susan dedicates a love song to him and Evie. Just before the end of the interview Ben quickly mentions Brookfield’s barn venue. Ruth tells Ben off for lying about the interview and for giving way their location. She softens at Ben’s worry about what Evie thought about it. To his relief Evie found it funny and they’re going to meet up. 
At the eco-office, Alice snaps at Jennifer as she tries to find the details she needs for a meeting about the venison. Jennifer encourages her to take it easy as she doesn’t look well. Alice insists she’s fine. But during the meeting she was sick, and Jennifer has had to drive her home. Alice gets even grumpier with Jennifer when she suggests getting help with morning sickness. Alice then calms down and Jennifer offers to get her anything that she needs. Alice replies that Jennifer can’t do that; she’s got to deal with this on her own.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
