Outlook Mixtape: The birds and the bees

Available for over a year

Audric de Campeau left a job in marketing to keep bees in Paris. His hives sit on top of some of the most famous landmarks in the French capital. He told Outlook's Saskia Collette in 2017 how he takes the honey made by his bees deep underground into the city's catacombs to produce an alcoholic drink called mead. When Candida Meyrick adopted a baby Harris hawk her life changed. She was suddenly training a powerful bird of prey and out with it everyday in the Welsh countryside. Falconry – hunting with a bird of prey – requires careful daily handling. But the hawk expanded Candida's world and taught her life lessons she had no idea were coming. This interview was first broadcast in January this year. Carla Valentine spoke to Outlook's Saskia Collette in 2018 about her experience dating as a mortician. It hasn't always been easy, so she decided to start a dating website for other people also working in the death industry who might find their work a little hard to discuss on a first date. Salvino Sagone worked as a building surveyor by day and wrote poetry by night, collecting love stories from members of the public. He sat on a chair on the streets of Milan with a placard that read "I listen to love stories for free" and invited passers-by to share their romantic tales with him. He spoke to Outlook in 2018.
