Do you regularly enjoy the great outdoors? On this episode of The Liz Earle Wellbeing Show podcast, Liz chats to radio presenter, former senior BBC executive, and podcaster Matthew Bannister about how music and nature can benefit our wellbeing.

Matthew reveals how his own podcast, Folk on Foot, came to fruition and the favourite places he's visited along the way, plus shares recent research into how birdsong may be able to lift our spirits. Liz and Matthew chat about the therapeutic powers of music, and also discuss Matthew's career in radio.

In 2009, an old man died in a California nursing home. His obituary included not just his given name, but a long list of the pseudonyms he'd been known to use. In this episode, which we originally released in 2019, we trace the life of Riley Shepard, a hillbilly musician, writer, small-time con man and, perhaps, a genius.
