In the aftermath of his halting debate performance, the editorial boards of some major US newspapers have called on Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. We ask why this issue is only being discussed widely now, and talk to Annie Linskey, White House reporter, The Wall Street Journal, who raised a comprehensive set of concerns about Biden's health but faced a backlash from others in the media. We also speak to Nayeema Raza, co-host, Semafor's Mixed Signals podcast and Jill Abramson, former executive editor, The New York TimesAlso on the show, we hear from El Hunt, commissioning editor for The Evening Standard, about what it is like reporting from the Glastonbury Festival and hear Ros Atkin's remix of the BBC News' theme tune in his debut DJ set at Glastonbury and how Louis Tomlinson of One Direction bought football home to Worthy Farm.

It's the welcome (or unwelcome depending on your point of view to be fair) of the Glastonbury Festival Worst Time Podcast special! Join Chris as he meanders around the Worthy Farm site on a Friday morning, just before the main stages kick off, flanked by the brilliant DJ and radio presenter Seb Bailey. Seb shares the time he performed at a festival to no-one as well as not one, but two toilet based Reading Festival anecdotes. Also, why is Glastonbury Festival such a magical place? Could it be because two men recorded a podcast whilst walking around the site? It could well be. Warming - some swearing and plenty of references to urine (and worst). If you're looking for high brow content please do not listen to this episode (or the majority of previous episodes as well to be fair).

This week, our team is sounding a bit hoarse having just returned from Worthy Farm, so apologies in advance. However, we do manage to string together some coherent sentences about this year's festival. We report on our best celeb spots, Charli XCX's debauched Party Girl show, Kneecap's political provocations, the unwarranted negativity around SZA's set and the adorable trend of bringing kids out on stage. A wonderful time was had, but on the off-chance any Glasto organisers are reading this – please can you sell less tickets next year so we can all get into the Block9 area? Cheers.

In a world first, methane from slurry on a dairy farm in Somerset is being broken down and turned into hydrogen gas and graphene. The farm involved is Worthy Farm, which hosts the Glastonbury Festival. It already has an anaerobic digester which uses slurry from their dairy cows to make methane which is used to make electricity, and now also used to make graphene. We find out how it all works.Last year tens of thousands of sheep in the Netherlands died after contracting bluetongue - a virus transmitted by biting midges. Famers in England are being warned to be vigilant for signs of the disease, and scientists at the Pirbright Institute in Surrey are studying midges to try to predict what might happen this summer.And a shortage of vets means recruiting can be a challenge - and it can be even harder for practices in remote areas. We visit from practice in Fort William in the West Highlands who are finding it difficult to recruit a new member of staff.Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

It's been 3 years but finally Glastonbury will be back in all its magnificent glory this week. The biggest festival in the world. A festival like no other. To get excited, co-organiser Emily Eavis made a visit to Annie's rave shed to talk about all things change; personal change and changes at the festival which turned 50 in 2020! This year back on Worthy Farm in Somerset, the family and 200,000 revellers will finally be able to properly celebrate. Emily grew up on Worthy Farm so has witnessed it evolve since the 80s, taking on the role of co-organiser after her mum died when Emily was 19. Since then, she has had her own family and made her mark on Glastonbury, a festival with the most legendary line ups of all time. Annie and Emily talk through early memories, the festival's beginnings and roots, personal highlights and that defining moment of booking Jay Z to headline in 2008. All hail Emily Eavis.

GLASTONBURY SPECIAL: Malcolm Haynes. Malcolm Haynes is the man widely credited with introducing dance music to the Glastonbury Festival. As an employee of the festival for nearly 30 years, Malcolm programmed the Glastonbury stages that evolved from the original Dance Tent, into the Dance Village, and now into the huge spectacle that is known as Silver Hayes. Malcolm has led an incredible life; growing up in care, running away with the funfair and eventually rocking up at Glastonbury with his own sound system that created an impromptu rave - the man was destined for a career in music promotion. His work at Worthy Farm saw him collaborating with a who's who of the dance music community and, as you will hear in this episode, he is full of many stories about the behind the scenes goings on at the world's biggest festival.FOLLOW US Instagram: @houseculturenetSpotify: House Culture - Perfect PlaylistOnline: www.houseculture.net|| Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseculture.

It’s exams season coming up. This summer, students will receive A-level and GCSE results based on their teachers’ predictions, after exams were cancelled for the second year in a row due to the pandemic. Teachers will be required to compile evidence to substantiate their predicted grades. Ministers have insisted that this year's grading system is the fairest plan, rather than using algorithms. However, there are concerns that ‘pointy elbow’ parents have been pressurising teachers to boost their children’s exam grades. To discuss the issues Anita talks to Emma Irving, who works part time as a private tutor, and Richard Sheriff, Executive headteacher of Harrogate grammar school and president of the Association of School and College Leaders. In Ripe Figs: Recipes and Stories from the Eastern Mediterranean, food writer, Yasmin Khan explores eastern Mediterranean’s border politics. She travels to the refugee camps of Lesvos, Istanbul and Nicosia, Cyprus. She talks about the women in Athens who have created a safe spaces for refugees and the women who use them. Yasmin also talks about the women who have set up a restaurant in Lesvos to integrate refugees into daily life on the island. This week the organisers of the Glastonbury Festival announced a one-off live streamed event in May, the bands will be performing at Worthy Farm but the audience will be at home around the world. However there are plenty of festivals planned in person once social distancing laws are – hopefully – lifted this summer. Many of them have now revealed their line-ups, and overall they are still featuring majority male artists, particularly among the headlining acts. Joining Anita are two women who want to change that - founder of the F-List Vick Bain and Maxie Gedge, UK project manager of Keychange, an initiative set up by the PRS Foundation to encourage better gender representation in music.

"In 1970, John Lennon invited Rawle to establish a commune on Dorinish, a small island in Clew Bay, Ireland, which Lennon had owned since 1967. After surviving Atlantic storms, the commune eventually disbanded in 1972 after a fire destroyed their main stores tent. Lennon did contribute money towards Rawle's communes and other projects, and was reputed to have financed the film Winstanley, about Gerrard Winstanley, a charismatic leader of the Diggers movement, and in which Rawle had a role as a Ranter, which suited him admirably. Sidney William "Sid" Rawle (1 October 1945 – 31 August 2010) was a British campaigner for peace and land rights, free festival organiser, and a former leader of the London squatters movement. Rawle was known to British tabloid journalists as 'The King of the Hippies', not a title he ever claimed for himself, but one that he did eventually co-opt for his unpublished autobiography. He was also involved in the free festival movement, as an organiser of the Windsor Free Festivals,[17] and the 1974 Stonehenge Free Festival. After re-printing, as publisher of International Times, an article similar[18] to the leaflet which had led to the imprisonment of Windsor Free Festival organiser Bill 'Ubi' Dwyer, Rawle was himself jailed for three months in 1975 to prevent him publicising that year's festival. In 1976, he became one of the original residents of Tipi Valley, a tent commune near Llandeilo in Wales. During this period he joined the Ecology (later Green) Party, and used his festival experience to help set up the first Green Gathering at Worthy Farm, Glastonbury. The years of travelling to festivals and events had turned an ad hoc collection of people and vehicles into what became known as the Peace Convoy. He stayed at Tipi Valley until 1982 when he began to live permanently on the road and at convoy-associated communities. In 1983 he set up the Rainbow Village at a disused US air base at Molesworth, Cambridgeshire, a proposed cruise missile site, which was broken up by police in February 1985. The key event during all these years was the Stonehenge Free Festival. In 1985 the Peace Convoy was routed by violent police action at what became known as the Battle of the Beanfield; Sid had not yet moved on from the previous night's camp at Savernake Forest. He had at least seven children, by different mothers." (Wikipedia)

This week, Ali and Kempy discuss once in a generation talent, the wildly successful Florence and the Machine. Florence Welch was born in Camberwell, South London, to Nick – an advertising executive and Evelyn – a university professor. The bands’ name started as a private joke between her and childhood friend and long-time keyboard player and collaborator, Isabella – or Isa Summers. Early gigs billed them as Florence Robot and Isa Machine, but in time the length of the name drove them mad and they became Florence and the Machine.Even before releasing their debut album, there was a lot of hype around Florence, known for her powerful vocal performances, eccentric stage persona and for performing barefoot. They were invited to play Glastonbury, support Blur at Hyde Park and won the critics choice award at the 2009 Brit awards.A 2009 BBC review of Lungs describes the bands' style of music as ‘soul inspired indie’ meets ‘Tim Burton style fairytales’. Certainly, the emotive lyrics in her early work are full of dark imagery that contrast the ethereal music, now synonymous with huge percussion, the use of harmony and choirs and, of course, the infamous harp. After 28 consecutive weeks on the UK album charts, it reached the summit and the band scored their first number one album. The album reached number 14 in the US Billboard 200 and has sold over 3 million copies worldwideShe built upon the identifiable sound on her incredible debut with 2011’s Ceremonials and 2015’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, which – she admits – was very difficult and at times traumatic thing to create, and documents the breakdown of a relationship.In 2015, while recovering from a broken foot herself, she stepped up to headline the Glastonbury festival when Foo Fighters had to pull out due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg after falling offstage during a gig. They covered Foos’ song, Times Like These, in a memorable set that only reinforced her as a once in a generation talent who thoroughly deserved to top the bill at Worthy Farm on her own merit, and no doubt would have done so even if Mr Grohl hadn’t broken his leg.In an interview with Annie Mac for Radio 1 in 2018, Florence confessed that here ‘attachment to reality is tenuous at the best of times’, and she topped off an incredible decade with her fourth album, High As Hope, which saw her giving herself a producer credit for the first time and debuts more direct and honest lyrical style about her life and struggles with alcohol and eating disorders. Also in this episode. the boys discuss the strangest modes of transport that they've taken to gigs, upcoming live stream shows and how a board game based on Never Mind the Buzzcock's 'Guess the Song' round nearly ended Ali's relationship.EPISODE LINKSFlorence and the Machine at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer TrustFlorence and the Machine official websiteFoo Fighters album pre-order (supporting independent record stores)Liam Gallagher 'Down By the River Thames' live stream ticketsRadio One interview with Annie MacShame - Alphabet (this week's support band)Thames Clipper Boats, Ali's preferred mode of transportation Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review if you're enjoying these episodes, and follow us on Instagram and Twitter.

Last weekend we were live from Worthy Farm, and went on a big walk across the site, picking up some friends along the way. We were joined by Slowthai, Kate Tempest, Johnny Marr and Sharon Van Etten.

It's the biggest music festival in the world with more than 200,000 people expected to visit Worthy Farm in Somerset. It's renowned for its spectacular line up of musicians, but there is also a spiritual element to Glastonbury - and even a religious presence. The Reverend Chris North, has been volunteering for the past fifteen years in the Sanctuary Tent at the Festival. Senior Bishops in the Diocese of Blackburn have spoken out about their concerns over safeguarding in the Church of England. In a letter the Bishops of Blackburn, Lancaster and Burnley, along with other senior clergy in the Diocese, say the Church of England needs to look again at its culture and structure, and understand that safeguarding is not just about ticking boxes. The BBC's Donna Birrell has been speaking to the Bishop of Burnley, the Right Reverend Philip North, who told her that the Church is complacent in thinking safeguarding failures are "historic". A law allowing parents to withdraw their children from religious education should be overturned, head teachers from across England have argued in a new study. The research, carried out by Liverpool Hope University, found that 41% of school leaders interviewed had received requests for students to be withdrawn from teaching about one religion. Dr David Lundie from Liverpool Hope University talks about the implications of this research. Producers Carmel Lonergan Peter Everett Editor Amanda Hancox

Emily Eavis is co-organiser of the Glastonbury Festival. Together with her husband and her father, she masterminds the booking of bands and oversees the setting up of what is the largest greenfield festival in the world. The site itself becomes the size of Oxford town centre once it’s built and rigged, and when tickets for 2019 went on sale, they sold out within 36 minutes. Born in 1979, she was a small child when her parents, Jean and Michael, were inspired to make the Glastonbury Festival an annual event, although she wasn’t keen on the yearly invasion of the family farm. By her late teens, however, she had changed her views. She left Worthy Farm to study to be a teacher at Goldsmiths College in London but when, at the end of her first year, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, Emily left and went home to help look after her and to help her father run that year’s festival. Emily never went back to university. Motivated by a visit to Haiti to look at Oxfam projects, she spent a few years in London putting on charity gigs, before returning home to work with her father running the festival. She married her husband, Nick Dewey, manager of The Chemical Brothers in 2009. The couple have three children and live on Worthy Farm.

This week George sits down with Emily Eavis, co-organiser of the world famous Glastonbury Festival. She grew up on Worthy Farm, where the Festival takes place each year, and from her teenage years onwards has played a vital role in every part of the organisation, booking artists across the main stages, coordinating the many different areas and making the magic happen for nearly 200,000 people on site, as well as millions watching live on the BBC. Passionately committed to Glastonbury’s charity partners, Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid, Emily has visited projects in Haiti, Mozambique, South Africa and Japan. This podcast was edited by Warren Borg. The animations and visuals are thanks to Oisin Griffin. Thank you to Josh Sanger and the Closer Artists team. Thanks to Emily for chatting with George. And of course, thank YOU for downloading and supporting this podcast.

Worthy Farm is a magical place, and never has that been more clear than at 2017's edition of the Glastonbury Festival. The sun was out, the festival-goers were on top form and the artists shone as we had what was quite literally the best weekend of our lives. Sadly, however, all good things must come to an end, and we have since returned home to our normal, far less exciting lives. It's sad, but as the dust settles, the tents are packed away and the hangovers begin to ease, we've headed into our studio to bring you our festival tales. In this first part, we recount Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with plenty of laughs along the way. We're hilarious guys, how could there not be?! Thank you so much for tuning in. It's great to be back in your ears, if not back in the real world. Be sure to tune in to part 2, which *should* be on our feed just above this one.

The world's biggest and best music festival is just a couple of short days away, and Tracks preparing to head to it. This week, we bring our excitement straight into your ears (only slightly tempered by Tim's hideous hangover at the time of recording) as we prepare for another spectacular few days at Worthy Farm. As well as all of the the usual pre-game team talk, we bring three picks of acts not to miss over the weekend and much more besides.

There was so much to talk about after our Glastonbury adventure that we couldn't possibly fit it all into one show, so here we are, back for our first ever Wednesday episode, to finish the job. Today is all about Saturday and Sunday, which featured incredible sets from the likes of Tame Impala, The Last Shadow Puppets and the love of Harry's life, Mac Demarco.  So crack open a nice, cold tin of beans and sausages (we all know Harry will be), close your eyes and let us take you back to Worthy Farm. As Drake would say, if you're reading this it's too late. We already love you for taking an interest in our podcast. The biggest of thank you's to every single one of you.

Just one short week ago, we arrived home from the World's best music festival - Glastonbury - and the blues are only just beginning to lift. So, in attempt to cheer up those of us lucky enough to be there, and to make those who weren't insanely jealous, we're reliving our festival experience here in a special two parter! Part 1 is all about our Wednesday - Friday, and contains many a tale of laughter and woe, as well as a load of music recommendations from our favourite acts across the three days, of course. So crack open a nice, cold tin of beans and sausages (we all know Harry will be), close your eyes and let us take you back to Worthy Farm. As Drake would say, if you're reading this it's too late.

Synonymous with Glastonbury Festival, Michael Eavis is the bearded impresario of one of the biggest parties on earth. But this is no hedonistic figure: in reality, Eavis is a near-teetotal Method-ist who happily admits that his beloved herd of cows comes before the celebrities, rock and roll... or even the show itself. As more than 100,000 revellers descend upon Worthy Farm in Somerset, Mark Coles profiles this complex individual. Through his early battles with authority, financial setbacks and personal tragedy, we learn what drove Eavis to turn the land his family have owned for 150 years into the home of an iconic music festival. We hear from his GP son, the best man at his wedding and a host of famous DJs and musicians who have known him. From naked morning swims on the farm - every day of the year - to a ferociously competitive table tennis tournaments, we get beneath this skin of this individual and learn what makes him tick. World famous bands have graced his property and David Bowie's stayed in his farmhouse; yet at home Eavis is more likely to listen to Methodist Hymns or Elvis Presley (the latter for his gospel songs) than the many household names to have played Glastonbury. We speak as well to one of Mr Eavis's opponents over the years. We hear how his politics and commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament have shaped both his life and the festival itself. And at 81 years old - with Glastonbury Festival still going strong - we learn whether this driven workaholic is likely to retire any time soon.

We hear from farmer Michael Eavis, who began the Glastonbury music festival in 1970 and whose family still runs it today. (Photo: The first Glastonbury festival on Worthy Farm in 1970)

Location, location, location - it's everything for idyllic Castle Cary Station, a quiet, sleepy commuter stop on the Great Western train line - because this particular sleepy station in Somerset just happens to be the closest station to Worthy Farm - home of the Glastonbury Festival. For 11 months and 3 weeks of the year all is peaceful and quiet, chattering birdsong in the hedgerows the only disturbance to a day-in-the-life of station master Paul Mitchell. Then, as Paul puts it - "Glasto comes around", and as no less than the Rolling Stones, Mumford and Sons, Portishead and the Arctic Monkeys pitch up in a field nearby, everything changes. Normally manned by one station master at a time; Paul is one of three railway employees on rota - their duties include every aspect of station keeping; maintenance, guard duties, ticket sales, sweeping up and planting flower beds - and it is a job well done; they have even won awards for best kept station. Sangita Myska follows the transformation of the station, peering through the well-polished ticket office window with station master Paul Mitchell, from quiet normal week to well managed chaos, as tens of thousands of wellie-wearing, tent carrying, over-excited music fans pour out of packed trains on their way to a weekend of mud and music. And then they all go home again, and Paul gets back to his hanging baskets - checking to see if anyone has popped any mysterious and unexpected green plants in with his petunias. Presenter: Sangita Myska Producer: Sara Jane Hall.
