About this listen
Welcome back to Fields and Feasts — the podcast where ancient agricultural traditions rub shoulders with questionable culinary decisions, all delivered with a straight face and muddy boots.
In Episode 2, Miranda and Matt return from the deep fens of Lincolnshire with January in full swing, selective motivation, and very little patience for seasonal self-denial. This week they dive into the wonderfully strange Straw Bear Festival, a centuries-old local tradition that’s equal parts fascinating and slightly bewildering.
A new Field Phrase makes an appearance, Miranda unveils another Mystery Munch, and Feasts or Farce tests the boundary between historical fact and utter nonsense. The episode wraps up with listener love and a subtle tease of what’s coming next.
Pull on a decent jumper and join Miranda and Matt as they continue their mission to resurrect the weird, wonderful, and occasionally unwise food and farming traditions of the UK. 🌾🍲
