James and Matt discuss their books, nature writing and the ways in which the pandemic has changed our relationship with the natural world.
James’ latest book The Oak Papers A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, is a homage to the oak tree and the important role it plays today in our landscape and our lives.
Matt’s Under the Stars: A Journey into Light is a beautifully written exploration of the night sky and a call to reconnect with the natural world.
