  • The Dynasty of Apples - Julian Temperley, Somerset Cider Brandy Company
    Jun 28 2024

    Somerset Cider Brandy is a distillation of cider, which is made from apples grown in the beautiful English county of Somerset - and they in turn originate from apple trees that were brought west centuries ago from Kazakhstan, travelling along the ancient Silk Road. The spirit has been enjoyed recently by King Charles as well as festival goers over the years at Glastonbury. Julian Temperley, founder of the Somerset Cider Brandy Company, tells MetroWild author Yang-May Ooi about the heritage of apples and cider in Somerset and also the dynasty of cider brandy that he dreams of creating.

  • #ThinkOcean - Nicola Bridge, Ocean Conservation Trust
    Jun 21 2024

    If you take a dip in the sea in the UK and your friend does the same in Australia, that’s the same as being in one big swimming pool together. So says Nicola Bridge of the Ocean Conservation Trust. 71% of planet Earth is covered in sea water and that is all one single ocean. The ocean gives us food, well-being and a means of transport across vast distances. It is also crucial in regulating the health of our planet as a whole. But it is often taken for granted by us humans. Nicola is passionate about giving the ocean a voice and speaks to MetroWild author Yang-May Ooi about why we need to think ocean and talk ocean.
