From world-record breaking expeditions to finely honed local skillsets: The Wild Dispatch explores the many ways ‘we’ experience the natural world. Full of honest and informative conversations, along with occasional audio-adventures captured in the field. This part-Brit part-South-African from America and his guests explore subjects around hunting, fishing, foraging, tracking, homesteading, conservation and environmental adaptation… It’s a podcast for people who want to see the natural world thrive. And an all out owl-hooting celebration of the skills and traditions that got us here today.

EP57: The Evacuee ↣ Escaping WWII With Ray & Violet Warman²
This week it is Violet Warman's 97th Birthday. She was born in 1928 — Rather a lot of wild stuff happened since that day...
In this episode Robin was lucky enough to hear some of Vi and Ray's memories from the past: The moment WW2 was declared, being evacuated, watching dog fights in the skies above... and trading bike rides to American soldiers for enormous amounts of pocket money.
In this episode takes a leap from the urban world of East London, and escape to the English countryside.
Happy Birthday Violet! And thank you both for sharing your time and stories today.
