A landscape thousands of years in the making, facing an uncertain future.
Britain’s uplands and the peat beneath it form one of the most unique, valuable and vulnerable ecosystems in the world.
Between ambitious tree planting targets, wind farm construction and efforts to restore damaged peatland, the British Uplands Podcast sees conservation journalists Byron Pace and Sarah Roberts explore the conflict between these difficult choices.
This is not a sit-down studio interview podcast. Over the coming weeks we’ll join Byron and Sarah as they travel the country and get out on the hills meeting guests ranging from soil scientists, ecologists and rewilding enthusiasts to game keepers, chefs, crofters and deer managers.
Episode one of six to be released weekly.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
