One year of the BOFIN Buzz!

The BOFIN team celebrates the one-year anniversary of the BOFIN Buzz podcast this month, along with the introduction of BASIS points for listeners. 

Since the podcast launched in August 2023, 24 episodes have been published, including interviews with farmers, scientists and supply chain experts, and covering topics from slugs and soils to pulses and weeds.

Hosted by BOFIN founder Tom Allen-Stevens the podcast has been well received by farmers and others in the industry who enjoy its conversational style. 

“We find the podcast a really useful way to learn from the expertise of the many farmers and partners we work with through BOFIN, and I’ve found the conversations we’ve had so far absolutely fascinating,” says Tom “It’s very rewarding that listeners find the topics interesting and inspiring too. 

“The BOFIN team has plenty of ideas on how to develop the podcast further so watch this space!”

BASIS points

One recent advance is that from September BASIS members can claim CPD points for tuning in. 

“We’re delighted that the educational value of the podcasts has been recognised by BASIS and hope that this will encourage even more people to listen,” added Tom.

The BOFIN Buzz can be accessed via your chosen podcast provider for example Apple podcasts or Spotify, or via the BOFIN website. BASIS members can claim one point per one hour of podcast content – follow the instructions given in the episode on how to claim.
