Calls for the return of lynx grow louder each year. But as wildlife rebounds, it’s confronted by a society that has long forgotten how to live alongside wild nature – and isn’t sure it wants to try. Join Peter Cairns, host of At the Edge, as he explores the fault lines that divide opinion over nature’s place in our future.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133"},"episode":{"title":"People like you.","slug":"people-like-you","published_at":"2026-04-16T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133/people-like-you","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/at-the-edge-7666133","url":"https://attheedge.org.uk/podcasts/people-like-you","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c348b8a1-473e-4977-a6c1-849014176c96.mp3","summary":"“People like you don’t understand the countryside.” It’s a sentence that ends conversations before they even begin. When it comes to disagreements on issues such as hunting, farming, rural tradition or rewilding, most of us don’t start with facts – we start with identity. Town vs country. Left vs right. Tradition vs change. Lines get drawn. Sides get chosen and suddenly, it’s not about the issue anymore, it’s personal - it's about 'people like you .' In this episode, we step beyond tribal labels, past the lazy assumptions, and into the conversations we’ve stopped having. Additional info At the Edge is an independent media platform that takes a deep dive into our relationship with wild nature, exploring pathways to living well with wildlife.
