Toby's Oddcast: love, justice, agriculture, travel, economy, activism, biodiversity, nature and more
Podcast Description
What I love to do with my experience & my passion for life, listening & learning, is to take all of that & mould it into a bubble of intrigue. I invite people for a fun & relaxed chat with me about serious things, scary themes, unspoken words, bright ideas, soft moments, brilliant solutions.
The themes will inevitably be varied because of the connectivity of everything. Farming with justice; economics with speciesism; music with activism; trees with fast fashion; nutrition with drought; nature with everything...all with a tickle of fun and adventure
I invite everyone to join the journey..

I invite everyone to join the journey..
Reverend Tim Hewes, a retired dentist and Church of England priest from Wantage in Oxfordshire, tells his story to us, to you. A story full of pride, grace, humility, humour and dignity.
Quite expected from a 'man of the cloth'….
..and then there are his stories of his time in prison, blocking the M25 with Insulate Britain and taking action with Just Stop Oil….
Tim was recently found not guilty of conspiracy to cause public nuisance (on March 19th 2025) after a four week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
We talk about his faith and how this changes and redefines itself as time and experiences pass. Deeply connected to his realisation that the world that his God created is crumbling.
Tim's journey is a turbulent one, colourful and true. His book 'Finding Beauty Behind Bars' gives the reader an insight to prison life, to daily thoughts and hurdles within the legal system here in the UK.
The book brings the climate emergency into raw focus, delving in to why activists take the actions they do, and how we can each harness our own potential to act on behalf of humanity and life as we know it.
