How to listen to the Horse & Hound Podcast: a beginner’s guide to podcasts

Pippa Roome Pippa Roome

    • Our podcast features interviews with top riders, vital vet advice and all the latest news – find out how to access it, even if you’ve never listened to a podcast before...

    What is a podcast?

    A podcast is similar to a radio programme, but one you can listen to at any time. Many people listen to podcasts via their smart phone or smart speaker while doing something else, such as cleaning tack, running or mucking out.

    How often are episodes released and how long can you listen to them for?

    The Horse & Hound Podcast is released every Thursday to our H&H Plus members (find out how to join H&H Plus), before its general release on Friday, when anyone can listen to the podcast, free of charge. You can listen to any of the past shows at any time.

    What do you talk about on the podcast?

    Each episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast lasts 35 to 45 minutes and has three segments. The first is an interview with a special guest, the second is a discussion about the week’s news with members of the H&H team and the third consists of horsecare, illness and injury advice with vet Ricky Farr from Farr & Pursey Equine. We will be introducing other equine experts in this section in the future.

    Who are your special guests?

    The back catalogue of guests on The Horse & Hound Podcast includes Lucinda Green, Anna Ross, Ian Stark, Andrew Hoy, Billy Twomey, Spencer Wilton, William Whitaker, Natasha Baker, Polly Jackson and Sally McMillan. All these episodes are still available for you to hear.

    Our upcoming guests include:
    13 August: five-star and championship event rider Laura Collett
    20 August: show rider turned grand prix dressage rider Louise Bell
    27 August: H&H showing columnist Simon Reynolds
    3 September: six-time Burghley winner William Fox-Pitt
