Boots & Heels S2 E1: The media with Amanda Owen the Yorkshire Shepherdess
Left to right: Becca Wilson, Amanda Owen and Lizzie McLaughlin © Hannah Crawford Are TV shows a real representation of farming? Does the press just cement a narrow stereotype? Is social media simply a burden?
In this episode, we join Amanda Owen – the Yorkshire Shepherdess – at her home in Ravenseat – as we have an honest chat about her success, facing criticism and the answers to our first myth buster: the media.
Sat by the fire, cuppa in hand and the dogs asleep, we delve into her latest series of Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm, her new book Celebrating the Seasons and her successful UK tour.
Further greeted by Clive and the children, with Clemmy encouraging us to take Tony the Pony in our car, Amanda continues to open up about family life, the power of hands-on education and the pressures of conforming to the expected stereotype.
Plus, find out what ingredient Clive hates, Amanda’s views on Mary Berry and her favourite recipe to cook.
