    The last straw seems to have been the inheritance tax, but there is more than that.

  • The drinks are on us
    Nov 21 2024

    In this podcast we have a chat with Shanna Whan, the founder of Sober in the Country. At AgWatchers, we are partial to a little tipple, but her charity is not anti-grog, it is about helping those who have a problem.

    Shanna set up SITC to help people who have alcohol dependency problems in rural areas. In this chat, we go on a range of topics about alcohol dependency, from our favourite tipples to the difference between Scottish and Australian drinking culture.
