Father and daughter duo Andrew and Molly Clifford, from Maghera, drop into the studio to talk about completing their epic 7,500 mile dash across Europe and Asia in BBC’s Race Across the World. We’re also joined by singer songwriter Matt Benson, who performs live in the studio, and eleven year old actor Ezra Carlisle, from Armagh, who chats about his roles in films including Hokum and Learning to Breathe Under Water. Funeral director Brian Elwood stops by to discuss The Big Dander, an initiative he created to raise funds for mental health services. John heads to County Down to explore the fascinating world of beekeeping, then travels on to the County Antrim coast to meet Susan and Chris Bennett, who spent a year journeying across Europe in their campervan. And in the kitchen, Paula fires up the barbecue to make jerk spiced pork with grilled pineapple salsa.
