About this episode

Flo Dill interviews pop star Olivia Dean about her music, influences, and gardening skills.

Flo is back on the allotment for another dig with pop star (and fellow NTS host) Olivia Dean.  Olivia Dean is a British singer-songwriter, celebrated for her soulful blend of neo-soul, pop and jazz. Though she has many talents, it turns out digging isn’t one of them - but what she lacks in technical skill she makes up for with enthusiasm. As they plants out some butternut squash, Olivia & Flo discuss song writing influences, her time at Brit School, the process of creating her next album and the art of being vulnerable.  This episode of Digging is sponsored by Niwaki: the go to destination for functional, durable Japanese gardening gear.
