FAS Sounds
FAS Sounds is the home for all our podcasts and audio resources.
The first FAS Pocasts was first broadcast in 2018 and over the following years we have produced hundreds of episodes on a range of topics relevant to farmers and crofters.
With the launch of FAS Sounds, we've brought all our podcasts under one roof to give you easy access to all the various topics we have podcasts on.
We publish new episodes on a regular basis and below you can see all the topics and aspects of Scottish agriculture we cover. So subscribe to the channels and get listening!
