Rural Concerns

The £34 haircut, lambing season & basement secrets

Sunil, Chris and Producer James chat about expensive haircuts, male toxicity and Magic the Gathering. In what can only be described as an incredibly high end piece of devised theatre, Sunil joins Farmer Buggerton down at the farmers market, but will London’s fanciest boy do what needs to be done?

Airbnb, legends of poker & black Viagra

It’s a birthday special for the lads! Sunil’s wearing a little scarf, perhaps because he’s been hanging at BAFTA to promote Channel 4’s Alice and Jack. Meanwhile, Chris reveals the secret to getting a nice house for a reasonable amount of money. Plus there’s also a peek into what it’s like to be in the Rural Concerns WhatsApp Group.

Nosey neighbours, city boy fight clubs & bats

The boys are back with another steaming helping of two top lads having a chat and that. In this episode Chris talks libellously about the pensioners in his village and what really went down re; Sycamore Gap. Sunil talks about slugs and his desire for a bunker. And Producer James? He’s already regretting coming aboard tbh. They also do an internet speed test which is sure to become a regular feature.

Jogging bottoms, to-do lists & death

Welcome to Rural Concerns; a long-distance catch-up between Chris Cantrill and Sunil Patel. In this maiden episode they introduce themselves (several times, much to the annoyance of Producer James), talk about jogging bottoms and the value of time block planning. Pretty indicative tbh.
