Wilson & Ashley
Unfiltered. Unexpected. Unapologetically Honest.
Welcome to The Wilson & Ashley Podcast — where no farming topic is off limits. But this isn't just a farming podcast...
Broadcast from their unique mobile studio, Rebecca Wilson, a sheep and arable farmer from Yorkshire and Charlotte Ashley, a dairy farmer from Cumbria, bring you conversations around food, farming and rural life that are guaranteed to get heads turning.
Inspired by what’s trending — from recent articles to viral videos — each episode blends reality, farming, and pop culture in equal measure.
With the straight talking approach that followers have come to know and love from these two women in agriculture, conversations are honest, hilarious and real - like voice notes between two friends who aren't afraid to say what everyone else is thinking.
Drawing on their own farming knowledge along with voice notes from friends, listeners of the podcast and industry experts, they're bringing a new perspective on rural life.
Whether you're a full time farmer, never set foot on a farm or fall somewhere in between, we're pleased to have you on board!

Episode 15: Do the Aussies Do It Better… and Does Buying Followers Ever Pay Off?
Put your thoughts into the mix
First up, we’re heading to Australia to ask: do they do it better when it comes to farm employment and training? From government-backed gap year schemes like AgCareerStart to hands-on training farms for short-term workers, we explore how the Aussies attract and upskill new people into agriculture — and whether the UK could learn a thing or two. But is the cost really worth it and we can't help but touch on the weather in Aus versus the UK!
Then we turn to your social media feeds. How many of the people you follow buy engagement and followers or pay for promotions. What's the real value of viral videos and is it ever worth faking it online, or does authenticity always win in the end?
This episode was inspired by content from Gabby and Charlie Travels and The Social Farmhouse
