Last week I had the fun of being part of a new BBC Radio 4 series called “In Pursuit of the Ridiculous”, with Matthew Oates, Brett Westwood and Andy Byfield. The Hartslock episode covers the conservation of hybrids and whether we worry too much about hybridisation. The weather wasn’t all that good but luckily Wendy Tobitt from BBOWT was on hand to take some photos:
- Brett coaches me on what to say after Matthew has done his intro
- Giles Alder wonders when the drizzle will stop while we discuss the merits of hybridisation as a natural process

Do you know when the programme will be broadcast?
Hi Richard, I don’t think an exact date has been fixed but Brett mentioned September (or thereabouts)
Don’t forget to ask them a record!!!! I want to hear all of it
