After a brief brush with a military career Sophie found her calling as a campaign and communications lead with the Beaver’s Trust where she presented their award winning documentary ‘Beavers without Border’.

She loves sharing her knowledge and passion for nature and climate and tells us how important it is to get people hooked on the joy you feel when you care about something.

Her book has just debuted ‘Forget me not’ and we can highly recommend it. Sophie takes a low carbon journey around Britain in search of ten animals and habitats threatened by climate change in the 21st century.

She offers fascinating insight into the work that beavers do and how critical they are to our natural waterways in the UK and how they helped one farmer in the southwest during a water shortage.. She goes on to explain why it is so important to protect and work alongside the natural ecosystems here in the UK and around the world.

Sophie is nothing short of an absolute delight and inspiration to listen to and we hope you find her passion for the climate and nature as inspiring as we did.

Ever find yourself actually enjoying a rainy afternoon or wondering why a certain cloud looks the way it does? You're not alone. For the love of weather is the ongoing conversation between meteorologists Gemma Plumb and Aisling Creevey, who have spent over fifteen years forecasting across the UK. This podcast captures the kind of deep-dive chats they've been having for years, moving far beyond simple small talk. They pull back the curtain on what weather really means for our daily lives, drawing on a surprising range of experience. Their professional paths have seen them predicting conditions for everything from major music festivals and national rail networks to agricultural harvests and even ice cream demand, giving them a unique perspective on how the atmosphere connects to the ground beneath our feet. Each episode feels like sitting with two experts who are still genuinely fascinated by their subject, discussing the science behind a storm front, the challenges of a long-range forecast, or how a shift in the wind can change an entire industry's plans. It's a look at the patterns and stories in the sky, grounded in the reality of jobs, life changes, and a shared curiosity that hasn't faded. Tune in for a human take on the forces that shape our days.
