I speak to Jessica in Oxfordshire who has had a number of encounters including a brownie. Her story begins with meeting a handsome Otherworldly man, dressed completely in green in her local woods who she feels turned out to be Gwyn ap Nudd. It sent her on a journey to discover her ancestry as connected to one of the 'Families of the 'Old North'. The quest entirely transformed the way she lives her life.

Robin Ince and Brian Cox get all fired up, overcome their natural repulsion and come together for this stellar episode on nuclear fusion. They're joined by plasma physicist Yasmin Andrew, fusion scientist Howard Wilson and comedian Ria Lina to uncover the secrets of star-making here on our planet.Together the panel discovers how the sun fuses atoms to release energy and why misbehaving, jiggling plasma makes this tricky to recreate on Earth. They explore the competing technological approaches — from giant magnets to the world's biggest lasers — and find out that the hottest place in the solar system is, in fact, in Oxfordshire. Finally, they ask whether fusion could really provide an unlimited source of clean energy, or whether the technology will forever be “just 20 years away”.Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production

The Joy of Real Indian Food is this week's brilliant discussion on the Business Awards Show. Founder of Tikka and Tadka,  Roshni talks about her journey from NHS worker to award-winning Indian catering entrepreneur. Roshni's Journey: After years in the NHS, Roshni launched her authentic Indian home-style cooking business in April 2020 - right as lockdown hit. Instead of postponing, she pivoted to local curry nights in her village, which became so popular they evolved into her signature curry box service. The Mission: Roshni's passion is educating people about authentic Indian cuisine versus the Bangladeshi-influenced "Indian" food commonly served in UK restaurants. She uses family recipes passed down through four generations, techniques learned from her mother in Kolkata, and dishes collected from friends across different regions of India. Business Model: Curry Boxes: Pre-ordered weekly meal boxes with five different curries, delivered fresh and chilled on Thursdays across Oxfordshire Weddings: 3-4 weddings annually (already booked three for next year) Corporate Catering: Specializing in Indian street food, not traditional curry Supper Clubs: Quarterly events showcasing Bengali cuisine, including fusion menus like English pub classics with Bengali spices Award Success: Roshni won silver at The Best Businesswomen Awards after being encouraged to apply by others - the recognition provided crucial local exposure and customer trust. Future Plans: Roshni aims to expand the catering business while opening her own café serving diverse authentic Indian dishes beyond curry. About Roshni: Roshni is the founder and chef behind Tikka & Tadka, an Oxfordshire-based Indian catering business. She brings homestyle, regional Indian cooking to local homes and events, specialising in weekly curry boxes, private catering, pop-ups, and supper clubs. With a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and authentic flavours, Roshni combines traditional techniques with a modern approach to delivering memorable dining experiences.     {2:14} The journey from the NHS to Indian cooking. {4:36} The drive to start a food business. {6:48} The difference between Indian and Bangladeshi food. {9:24} The challenge of catering for weddings. {9:50} Indian food is  not just curry. {10:46} Roshni's curry boxes. {13:10} Running supper clubs. {14:03} Turning supper club clients into curry box customers. {14:53} How awards came on the radar. {16:43} The challenges of building Tikka and Tadka. {19:10} Roshni's marketing strategy. {20:06} Longer term plans. {21:54} Meeting Prue Leith. {22:27} Roshni's approach to networking. {23:46} Advice for setting up a food business. {25:08} The challenge of running a business while having young children.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk                                         https://bestsmeawards.co.uk/                                        Connect with Roshni:  https://www.tikkaandtadka.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/roshni-ray-8172342b/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Tikkaandtadka Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tikka_and_tadka/  

George Graham is Director and Head of Fund at South Yorkshire Pensions Authority. He has spent a long career in public service, culminating in the last 8 years at SYPA, and prior to that he spent his career in various finance roles at Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Chorley, Lancashire and LPP. He is Governor and Vice Chair of Barnsley College as well as Independent Chair of the Local Pension Board at Lincolnshire County Council. George will be retiring from his role as Head of Fund at SYPA at the end of the year, and this discussion was an opportunity to reflect on a career in which public service dominated, and against which a dramatically changing market backdrop cast a long - and positive - shadow. We track his early insights into the challenges of local government, and how his finance roles started to overlap with the investment function. This sight of the investment function led him to be an early mover in local government pooling - starting with the Lancashire and LPFA merger a decade ago - and he explains why the rationale is, for him, so clear cut as the demands of institutional investing have grown.We speak too about his commitment to local investing as well as to a sustainability agenda, which, as in many of his endeavours has been bold and ahead of its time. Finally we reflect on learnings from a long and varied career, about the development of a leadership style, about learning to go against a natural tendency to be more introverted and deliberately reach out to team members to support them. We end with a discussion of legacy, which in George's case will be a long and impactful one. Series 5 of 2025 is kindly sponsored by Diamond Hill. Diamond Hill invests on behalf of clients through a shared commitment to its valuation-driven investment principles, long-term perspective, capacity discipline and client alignment. An independent active asset manager with significant employee ownership, Diamond Hill's investment strategies include differentiated US and non-US equity, alternative long-short equity and fixed income.

The White House and Moscow have reportedly drawn up a 28-point peace plan that crosses many of Ukraine's stated red lines. Could Kyiv ever accept it? Also on the programme: the Oxfordshire fly-tipping scandal is raised at Prime Minister's Questions - we ask how big the problem is nationwide; and eighty years on, a verdict on the Nuremberg trials from the son of a Nazi war criminal and the grandson of a British prosecutor.

Not AGAIN, Labour comms team... After a week that started with a leadership kerfuffle and ended with an income tax volte-face (or was it..?), Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell try to work out how sticking to a manifesto pledge can transmogrify into a U-turn. And there's a look at the unbelievable 'canal' of fly-tipped waste that has appeared in Oxfordshire, as we ask why Brits put up with this behaviour.

fWotD Episode 3115: Elinor Fettiplace Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 14 November 2025, is Elinor Fettiplace.Elinor Fettiplace (born Elinor Poole, later Elinor Rogers; c. 1570 – in or after 1647) was an English cookery book writer. Probably born in Pauntley, Gloucestershire, into an upper-class land-owning farming family, she married into the well-connected Fettiplace family and moved to a manor house in the Vale of White Horse (then in Berkshire, now in Oxfordshire).In common with many ladies of the Elizabethan era, Fettiplace wrote a manuscript book. It is now known under the title Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book, with details of recipes for dishes and meals, medical remedies and tips for running the household. She dated the work 1604, but it is possible that she began writing it several years earlier, when she was still living with her mother. The book was passed down through her family, initially to her niece, until it was handed to the husband of the twentieth-century writer Hilary Spurling. Spurling conducted research on Fettiplace's identity and the contents of the book, and published the work in 1986.Fettiplace's husband died in 1615; she moved back to Gloucestershire and married a local man, Edward Rogers, who died in 1623. She lived until at least 1647.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:07 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Elinor Fettiplace on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

Welcome back to another episode of Greenwashed & Unhinged — the podcast where we pretend to care about the planet while blindly stumbling through your questions like eco-conscious toddlers in a philosophy seminar.Before we dive in, a heartfelt shoutout to our beloved listener Hannen Beith. Hannen, darling, pull your finger out and send us a question. We know you're lurking. Contribute or be composted.Elodie, from Brittany, France sets the first question today - “Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?”Stuart muses that human power corrupts faster than compost rots in July—unless wielded by a unicorn of selflessness. He compares it to gravity: powerful, universal, and blissfully unaware of politics. William argues corruption is a human invention, like spreadsheets or reality TV. Together, they liken it all to gardening: no plant is evil unless it takes over. So, when in charge, don't believe your own hype—listen twice as much as you talk. Nature does, and it hasn't tried to run for office.Debs, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, England set the second of today's questions -  “Someone from Thames Water, when talking about the potential new Oxfordshire reservoir, said, “we need to focus on identifying and moving the wildlife out of the way”, that shows a distinct lack of understanding of mitigating ones environmental impact”.Stuart fondly recalls the time builders lovingly flattened an ancient wildflower meadow for six months, then heroically promised to fix it with a sprinkle of generic grass seed — because clearly, green equals biodiversity. He reminds us that ecosystems aren't IKEA furniture: you can't just relocate wildlife and expect it to “assemble itself.” William adds that animals aren't invading cities — we built over their homes and now call them “urban” like it's a lifestyle choice. Stuart, ever the diplomat, declares his tulip rights while denying nature any. William defends the underdogs — foxes, pigeons, crows — nature's misunderstood freeloaders. Moral of the story? Think long-term. Or at least longer than six months.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

Well lets find out if Nicola from Coventry or Carrie in Oxfordshire trust their gut?

Paleontologist and author Armin Schmitt returns to the show where we explore two remarkable dinosaur discoveries that are reshaping what we know about life millions of years ago.From the longest dinosaur trackway ever uncovered in Oxfordshire, England, to the first-ever discovery of fossilised gut contents inside a sauropod in Australia, Armin shares the science — and the stories — behind these once-in-a-lifetime finds.We hear how ancient footprints reveal the daily lives of long-necked giants, what a 100-million-year-old meal can teach us about dinosaur diets, and how new technologies are helping paleontologists read the Earth's oldest stories written in stone.Armin takes us on a journey through deep time — from Jurassic lagoons to Cretaceous forests — filled with curiosity, wonder, and the enduring human desire to understand the world beneath our feet.

Fossilized remains can tell us all sorts of things about the anatomy of the great beasts of the past like dinosaurs, but they don't really tell us much about how they acted.However, a remarkable discovery made this summer in Oxfordshire is giving scientists insights into the behaviour of these great beasts.Kirsty Edgar is Professor of Palaeontology at the University of Birmingham, and joins Seán to discuss.

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a sartorial journey with the brilliantly talented English-Italian acoustic singer, songwriter, and musician Jack Savoretti. Jack's reputation as a singer-songwriter is perfectly epitomised by those he has collaborated with over the years, which reads like a “who's who” of the music world including names such as Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, Nile Rogers and Zucchero. We laugh about his style growing up, how important his school uniform was to him, and the identity that he gets from his clothes. Being dressed correctly is clearly important to him…he loves  ”timeless elegance”. He is a good story teller in proper Italian fashion… embracing British country wear for their life in Oxfordshire, rather than for the streets of Milano where the Italians love to promenade around the shops in their Huskies and Barbours…albeit immaculate ones!  He tells me he bought a 1912 tailcoat to get married in to his beautiful artist wife Jemma Powell (who also wore vintage)…sexy rock chic for the record! When his father died he found himself reaching for his father's style…particularly suede jackets which his father loved and he found it incredibly comforting to dress like “Italian men”. We discuss the privilege and the unique sartorial experience of wearing the great Italian designers…namely Armani and Brunello Cuccinelli in Venice…  He makes sure he and his band are elegant and unified on stage. We talk about him asking his band to get dressed for the show sound check as he says that they perform better when they dressed….there was a professionalism and new level of respect that kicked in when they arrived for rehearsals looking smart. Jack will be celebrating his 20 year career in music for one night only at The Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 23rd April 2026. Get your tickets quickly before they are all sold out! www.jacksavoretti.com Thank you @jacksavoretti for being such an entertaining guest x

Host Margaret McSweeney takes us to the Oxfordshire countryside to Estelle Manor, one of the "hottest" destinations in England. Originally built in 1780 in Georgian style and rebuilt in 1908 in Jacobean style, Estelle Manor sits on 85 acres and is surrounded by 3,000 acres of parklands and gardens. In 2023, Ennismore opened this beautiful property as a private club and hotel. The kitchen gardens provide a bountiful and beautiful harvest of greens for the salads at the Glass House, one of the hotel's restaurants. Margaret enjoyed chatting with one of the chefs who was collecting the day's harvest from the gardener. The Potting Shed is the perfect place for a morning latte and pastries amongst the lush plants throughout the interior. Margaret's friend May and her dogs, Lulu and George joined her for this stay. They enjoyed a delicious lunch in the private library and dinner at Brasserie. Margaret especially enjoyed booking the Thermal Journey at the Eynsham Baths, an oasis of relaxation at Estelle Manor. This experience included exclusive access to the Tea Lounge where a tea master prepared a special blend for her. She purchased some tea to continue her wellness journey in Chicago.

In this heartfelt episode, Michael Kavanagh shares his journey of grief following the tragic loss of his daughter Eleanor in January 2025. He discusses the challenges faced by his family, the importance of community support, and the promise he made to Eleanor to live a life well lived. On Sunday 26th January 2025, 2 year old, Eleanor and her big sister Fiona, went to bed like any other night. Their parents Di and Michael played with them, read them stories, tucked them in and sang a lullaby. Both children went to sleep happy and loved. The following morning, Monday 27th January, Di went into the girls' room to discover the unthinkable had happened. Eleanor had passed away in her sleep. Having had no signs of a worrying illness, and the brightest, happiest, healthiest little girl they had absolutely no warning there was anything to be concerned about. The postmortem would come back some 12 weeks later showing she had viral pneumonia. In this episode which some viewers may find difficult, Michael Kavanagh describes his and Di's experience this year, grief, counselling and undertaking immense challenges in memory of Eleanor. Di has already completed her cycle from London to Paris in extreme conditions. Michael will be leaving their new home in Oxfordshire on Saturday 25th October, and within 24 hours he will run (and walk) to Eleanor's grave 80 miles away in Shropshire. Three marathons, back-to-back. Off road. Through the night. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT MICHAEL AND ELEANOR PLEASE VISIT The Eleanor Challenge - GiveWheelChapters 00:00 Introduction and Background02:47 The Tragic Loss of Eleanor05:56 Life After Loss: The Kavanagh Family's Journey08:57 Michael's New Farming Challenge11:51 Eleanor's Memory and the Promise of a Life Well Lived14:53 Community Support and Resilience17:42 Finding Joy Amidst Grief26:25 Navigating Grief: Personal Insights30:28 The Importance of Counseling and Support35:29 Channeling Grief into Action: The Challenges Ahead44:36 Charity and Community: Honoring Eleanor's Memory51:02 Messages of Hope and Resilience

Zelia Edgar brings us to England in the 1970s. At 2:30 AM, long-haul truck driver, Len Delman, was navigating his lorry into Banbury, Oxfordshire, when something terrifying appeared. A figure dressed in white stood motionless in the road. Slamming the brakes to avoid disaster, Len rushed out—only to find no one there. Moments later, his headlights revealed a tall, otherworldly being staring back at him. In this chilling episode, Zelia explores the Banbury Ballyhoo—one of Oxfordshire's most mysterious and unnerving encounters. Was it a ghostly apparition, an alien entity, or something far stranger? Join us as we dive into witness testimony, the folklore of Banbury, and the unsettling possibilities behind this late-night roadside encounter.

Today James Heale has been on quite the magical mystery tour. Bundled into a bus at 7.45 a.m. along with a group of other hacks, he was sent off to an aircraft hangar in Oxfordshire where Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party's long-awaited deportations strategy. The unveiling of ‘Operation Restoring Justice' was accompanied by some impressive production value, including a Heathrow-style departure board and an enormous union flag.The headlines of Farage's mass deportation initiative are as follows: Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five years if elected in 2029; a new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority; and all this at a cost of £2 billion. But how realistic is it? And since we now have headline deportation plans from the parties at the top of the polls (just), which is more impressive?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Karl Williams, research director at the Centre for Policy Studies.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

**WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of suicide**On 6 September 1560, Amy Robsart Dudley died after falling down a staircase at Cumnor Place in Oxfordshire. But did she fall? Was she pushed? Or did she throw herself down the stairs? These questions exercised Tudor courtiers and foreign ambassadors at the time. The truth mattered because Amy was the wife of Queen Elizabeth I's leading courtier and very close friend, Robert Dudley, and his wife's death could clear the way for Elizabeth to marry Dudley. But in practice, the circumstances of Amy's death precluded any possibility of a royal marriage. In this second episode of our Tudor True Crime Month on Not Just the Tudors, first released in February 2023, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Joanne Paul to discuss what really happened - was it an accident, suicide or murder?MORE:The House of Dudley >Robert Dudley: Elizabeth I's Forbidden Love >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Author Xenobe Purvis says the premise for her new novel is based on a nugget of history. In 1700, a doctor reported that five sisters in Oxfordshire, England were said to be “seized with frequent barking in the manner of dogs.” Purvis' The Hounding imagines what happens to these girls after a ferryman starts a dangerous rumor about them. In today's episode, Purvis talks with NPR's Scott Simon about rumors, gossip and the danger of being a girl in society.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What do spiritual disciplines have to do with real transformation? John Mark double clicks on the concept of the practices of Jesus—also called the spiritual disciplines—and explains why they're not optional for those who want to become like Him. He shows us how transformation doesn't come through trying harder but through training wisely.Key Scripture Passages: 1 Corinthians 9v24-27; Acts 20v24; Galatians 5v7; 1 Timothy 6v12; 2 Timothy 4v6-8This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
