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.

For the final part of the journey Christina canoes with Julie Doherty from Avon Wildlife Trust. As they paddle along they chat about the river as wildlife corridor and how we can all play our part in tackling the ecological crisis. In Eastville Park they come across wildlife photographer Robbie Deville photographing kingfishers. And Christina meets Melvin Woods from the Environment Agency. They talk about flood management and urban dilemmas as they walk through the streets of Bristol, where the river flows unseen beneath their feet, until it finally meets the River Avon
