“15 Minutes With…” is a snapshot of life in the countryside, told by the people who shape it. Each episode features a short, engaging conversation with a landowner, farmer, rural business owner or key political voice. In just 15 minutes, we explore their work, their challenges, their ideas for the future — and the lighter moments that make rural life unique.
