Our second episode focuses on the people at the heart of the charity – the volunteers. Rachel meets members of the SWCPA team, Lorna Sherriff and Alex Turner, who work closely with the volunteers, and also chats with SWCPA volunteers Helen Marshall and Steve Church, about why and how they volunteer and what it means to them. We are incredibly grateful to each and every one of our volunteers who come from many different walks of life and bring with them a host of immeasurable skills, knowledge and enthusiasm plus a shared passion for the South West Coast Path and the outdoors. Whether it's being a path rep and helping with our annual path survey, or volunteering on our community walks to help support other people who want to experience the path, we simply couldn't do what we do without them. Listen and find out more.

A grey morning greeted the players at the Seale Hayne training ground today, and your podcast team all arrived dressed in sombre colours. There wasn't an email or anything - they just did. But despite Tuesday night's setback at Bromley, the mood in the United camp is upbeat and far from grey.

This week from the sun-kissed meadows of Seale Hayne - well, a car in the car park to be truthful - guest David Thomas joins the regulars while the Gaffer joins us to talk about pre-season so far. We look back at Buckland and Exmouth, and appreciate a legend.

We're all steamed up on the Yellow Army podcast this week, recorded in the rain at Seale Hayne as Torquay United prepare for the visit of newly-relegated Grimsby to Plainmoor on Saturday afternoon.

It's a chilly day out at Seale Hayne, but we're still feeling the warm glow from last Saturday's 4-0 win at Stockport. Gary Johnson explains how well some of his less experienced players are stepping up to the mark, and looks ahead to a tough game against Fylde on Saturday. Meanwhile David and Guy talk about entertainment, the rise of Matt Buse, and trying to keep Aaron Downes awake. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Real value for money from the Torquay United Yellow Army Podcast this week as you get not only the usual old nonsense from David and Guy, trying to stay out of a blustery wind at Seale Hayne, but also some fascinating stuff from Gary Johnson and his number two Aaron Downes.But perhaps most important of all, hear Aaron Downes on the subject of his old team-mate Angus MacDonald, who has been diagnosed with the early stages of bowel cancer. Playing at Hull City these days, Gus was a hugely popular player during his time at Plainmoor, and Aaron has a message of hope and encouragement for him.

The players are back in training. It's roasting hot at Seale Hayne and they're doing fitness drills. Welcome to Boot Camp with the Brothers Johnson. And if that sounds like a funk-soundtracked Eighties fitness video, it's much, much tougher than that. Gary and Peter Johnson both take time to chat this week For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

The larks are ascending, the cattle are lowing and only the urgent buzz of the mower interrupts the pastoral scene as David and Guy head out to Seale Hayne where United's players are preparing for the biggest eight days of the season so far. Skipper Asa Hall joins us to talk about the big games ahead. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

On this day in 1918, the Times published plans for Alexandra Day, a project to sell pink roses to raise £1m, while in Ashburton, Cora Gidley sees her roses differently. Written by Lucy Catherine Directed by Jessica Dromgoole Notes The Home Front story returns to Devon, a county central to the country's desperate hopes for a good harvest, in which the upheavals and social schisms of WW1 were felt particularly keenly. Summer 1918 marks the point when Britain was on the brink of starvation, with the most important harvest of the war looming, both literally and metaphorically. Women, children, prisoners of war and wounded soldiers are all being put to work on the land. However, there are also those unable or unwilling to help the Government drive to feed the war effort. Dartmoor prison now houses 1000 conscientious objectors, much to the fury of local people with family away fighting, whilst at nearby Seale Hayne, a radical new hospital for shell-shocked soldiers has opened. Season 14 challenges notions of a harmonious rural idyll. Season 14 of Home Front is story-led by Sebastian Baczkiewicz, and subtitled "Needs Must When the Devil Drives". Lucy Catherine, Katie Hims and Sarah Daniels complete the writing team for this season, which will also feature the return of Anton Lesser, Matthew Beard and Maggie Steed, and guest appearances from Geoffrey Palmer, Mark Heap, Jonathan Bailey and Damien Molony.
