  'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
  Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
  In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold. 
  All is unleashed. 
  This top non-fiction autobiography is a humorous and personal account of the trio's adventures in podcasting. Their tales of recreation and webcasting mishaps will leave you in stitches.

  Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal, Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites listeners into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm, describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. 
   
   
   
  Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal. 
   
   
   
  Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.
