Rhiane and the Black Girls Hike team made a memorable appearance in this week's launch episode of 'The UK's National Parks with Caroline Quentin'. Each week, Caroline visits a number of NPs across the country and in this first show, she headed to Gummer's How in the Lake District, where she met a local group of women whose lives have been transformed by their experiences in nature since joining Black Girls Hike. It's a beautiful, moving meet-up and testament to Rhiane's achievements since setting up the organisation from a single hike in 2019. If you missed the programme, you can catch up now on Channel 4. The series airs on Monday nights, 9pm on More4.
Intoxicating History - Henry Jeffreys & Tom Parker-Bowles
We're delighted to announce the launch of Intoxicating History, a brand-new podcast series that uncorks the history of alcohol and the alcohol that shaped history. Each week, award-winning authors and raconteurs Henry Jeffreys and Tom Parker-Bowles will be decanting and discussing the stories behind some of the world's most popular beverages. Was champagne really invented by a blind French monk? Did vodka-politics contribute to the Russian Revolution? Was Hogarth part of an anti-gin conspiracy? Did the Ancient Greeks invent drinking games? To find out the answers to these questions and much more besides, be sure to tune in to this warm and witty 20-part series of rich storytelling blended with Henry and Tom's expert tasting notes. Intoxicating History is brought to you by the team that made the global TV series The Wine Show and is sponsored by Taylor's Port. Episode 1 is available from December 5th 2024.
