A special extended edition of the Plodcast this week as we embark on an adventure with celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane to walk the length of a chalk stream from the centre of Cambridge to its source.

Rob has long campaigned to tackle our polluted and degraded rivers and his magnificent new book Is a River Alive? explores inspiring ways to look after our waterways better – through a series of encounters and adventures. But what will we discover on this Plodcast quest? It's magical and surprising, for sure.

Robert Macfarlane's new book, Is a River Alive?, is published by Penguin.
