June Podcast Special: the Art of Wild Writing

This month's podcast episode is a truly special one - I sat down with two of the best nature writers working in Britain right now: poet Clare Shaw (Bloodaxe Books, co-editor of The Book of Bogs with Anna Chilvers) and Miriam Darlington (Owl Sense, Otter Country). We talked about deep listening, sacred landscapes, what the natural world can offer us when everything feels like it's on fire, and why June is the most extraordinary month to be outside with a notebook.

We also talked about Wild Writing 2026 — their daily online workshops running every morning through June, one hour a day, open to all levels. I did it last year. I signed up for the whole month after just one day. If you're even slightly tempted, go and look at it now.

One of the things I love most about Wild Writing is that it isn’t just about writing — it’s about paying attention. It’s impossible not to get excited about the natural world when listening to @mim.darlington and @clareshaw1.
