Jason Lewis has broken three records in his attempt to traverse the world by human power alone. He spoke to Fiona about why he wants to champion low impact living and why he decided to embark on this mammoth challenge.

We hear from Georgina Ross an Aberdeen Rainbow and Brownie Leader about how easy it can be to have fun with odds and ends around the house. 

Willis Morris is a speedflyer and adventurer who will be speaking at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival. Fiona talks to Willis about speedflying and his adventures and finds out more about the festival from organised Stevie Christie.

Julie Baghurst is an upcycler from Aberdeen who makes home accessories from old bits and pieces. She joins Fiona in the studio to make a cutlery coat hanger!

The Library of Things is a community initiative that enables people to borrow objects and learn the skills to use them. We hear from founder Rebecca Trevalyan about how the initiative started. 

With Park Runs taking the country by storm, Fiona talks to Liz Corbett from ParkRun UK about how park runs are not just for grownups. 

Carole Baxter is in the studio to talk about all things green in the gardening world, including how to make your own compost and compost bin. 

If all that gardening chat has got your green fingers itching then The One Planet Picnic Pocket Garden Design Competition could be for you. Eve Keepax from Keep Scotland Beautiful joins Fiona to tell us more about it.
