River Journey: The Bristol Frome
'River Journey: The Bristol Frome' is a podcast series flowing with conversations about the river. I’m Christina Wheeler and I’ll be following the river on its 20 mile journey from the source, near Tormarton, to the mouth where it reaches the River Avon in the centre of Bristol. I'll be meeting up with people along the way. We'll be talking about wildlife and climate change, flooding and fishes. We’ll hear stories from the past and present and find out how the river has inspired and influenced our lives, and how we have influenced the life of the river.
