Thanks for listening to the March 2021 episode of the Deepdale Podcast, produced by the team of Deepdale Farm, Deepdale Camping & Rooms and Dalegate Market in Burnham Deepdale on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast.
This month we include Farm Chat, an interview with Gin from MarGins Walking & Glamping, a couple of Favourite Places, and Music & Book Recommendations.

Nathan and Jason start the podcast, standing in Big Breck, a field on Deepdale Farm, chatting about the latest steps as the farm goes organic and embraces conservation.
Interview with Gin from MarGins Walking & Glamping
Jason interviews Gin about how MarGins Walking & Glamping came about, her time with the Red Cross and the luxury camping she’s offering at Deepdale in 2021.
Tourism Chat with Chris & Jason
Chris joins Jason to chat about reopening the campsite & rooms at Deepdale, after lockdown, and the plan for the rest of the year including welcoming back tents and campervans, and looks forward to Deepdale Festival.
Gin’s Favourite Place – Burnham Overy Staithe to Holkham Beach
Gin talks about her Favourite Place on the North Norfolk Coast, the walk from Burnham Overy Staithe to Holkham Beach.
Hello from Simon
Simon pops in to talk about returning to work, the simple pleasures of catching the bus from Hunstanton to Deepdale, and the new hammock camping area at Deepdale.
Music Recommendations
Hurt In Your Heart
EP by Katie Spencer, Alan Thomson & Spencer Cozens
Katie is a true music friend of Deepdale, and we love to welcome her to play for us. You may have heard her perform or listened to our interview with her in the Festival Special episode of the Deepdale Podcast. This new EP is beautiful, and a great pick by Chris.
Book Recommendations
The Shock Doctrine
by Naomi Klein
The sub heading of this books is ‘The rise of disaster capitalism’, so you can probably guess it isn’t a laugh a minute read, but Chris recommends it as a fascinating insight to times like right now!
The Overstory
by Richard Powers
Chris has owned this book for a while, putting off reading it as he wasn’t really sure about a fiction book about trees. But now he’s reading it he’s loving it, and highly recommends you reading it. It was the Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Price for Fiction.
The Unlikely Pilgramage of Harold Fry
by Rachel Joyce
This is one of Jason’s recommendations, which he is loving reading on the Libby electronic library system. Jason has also enjoyed The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce, and loves the characters that Rachel observes in her books.
Girl Seven
by Hanna Jameson
Jason has long been a fan of noir, particularly books like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and this book by Hanna Jameson was an accidental find, but a very pleasing one. Set in London, in a club where much of the underworld seems to collide.
TV Recommendation
Amend
Recommended to Jason by an American friend. This is a fascinating look at the development of the USA constitution through slavery, war, race relations, womens rights, equality and injustice. If you are interested in US politics, then you’ll really enjoy this.
